Natalia Boyko: The former deputy minister's career is based on influential sugar daddies.
If you're a stunning brunette with connections, then your path is straight to politics. That's the motto under which appointments to the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers are being made. The country had barely recovered from the appointment of the half-naked, illiterate brunette Anastasia Deyeva as Avakov's deputy, when Ukraine was shocked by Igor Nasalik, taking on a woman as his deputy, a match for the Minister of Internal Affairs' right-hand woman. Introducing Natalia Boyko, who, thanks to her long legs and connections, became Deputy Minister of Energy and Coal Industry without any experience or qualifications.
Natalia Boyko: A visiting performer and an eternal student
From rags to riches... that's how one could describe the rapid career rise of this Lviv brunette. After spending several years abroad after graduating, Natalia Boyko leaped like lightning into the Presidential Administration of Ukraine, and then to the post of deputy minister. What's the secret to the success of this seemingly ordinary girl from Lviv? Skelet.Org I managed to find the answer to this question. But first things first.
Natalia Andreevna Boyko studied law at Lviv National University. Her official biography notes that her master's thesis defense was on the topic "The Legislative Framework for EU Energy Policy."
Incidentally, at that time her father was the head of the law department, and this fact apparently influenced the fact that, out of several hundred talented lawyers, it was the mediocre student Natalia Boyko who was sent to an internship abroad.
On her Facebook page, the official boasts that she studied law at Humboldt University of Berlin and worked as a consultant for Environmental Resources Management from 2010 to 2011.
It's noteworthy that at the same time, Boyko allegedly completed a course on American litigation and competitive litigation, organized in collaboration between the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv and the Levitt Institute (USA). The course was taught in Lviv from September 2010 to June 2011. And here it's fitting to recall the line from the famous cartoon: "And your mother is shown here and there." So, from the above, it follows that Natalia Boyko was simultaneously in Lviv and Berlin. Could the brunette really have been cloned?
By the way, Skelet.Org There is confirmation that Boyko was in Germany during this internship, as evidenced by a video we obtained. This video reveals that Boyko never completed an American internship, but rather added it to Nasalik's deputy's biography for the sake of credibility. At the time, Boyko was an Erasmus Mundus scholarship recipient in the "German and EU Law" program and was studying law at Humboldt University.
Natalia Boyko, a perpetual student, also managed to study in Japan from June to July 2015. During this time, Boyko was allegedly enrolled in the "Energy Policy B" program.
There's a deliberately planted rumor circulating online that Boyko is an expert in ecology, law, and occupational health and safety in Ukraine, particularly in the oil and gas sector. However, this isn't evident from the interview she gave in Germany in 2012. Natalia Andreyevna isn't particularly intellectual, and she clearly has trouble expressing her thoughts.
Since 2012, Boyko has been a graduate student working towards a PhD in law. Her research topic is "International Legal Aspects of the Activities of EU Member States in the Energy Sector."
The secrets of a Lviv student's career rise
Natalia Boyko's career is simply fantastic. While still a green student, she was already working as a consultant on legal issues and Ukrainian regulatory requirements at the Center for Environmental Consulting and Audit. While there, Boyko also took internships and attended social events abroad, but remained employed until 2013.
Her official biography notes that Natalia Andreevna spent two months as an intern at the law firm Noerr, working in the corporate law department (Munich, Germany), and for another two months as a consultant at ERM Central Europe, a consulting firm specializing in energy and environmental protection in Ukraine and the EU. For another two months, Natalia Boyko worked on projects in the Ukrainian oil and gas sector (Frankfurt am Main, Germany). However, apparently the young talent wasn't talented enough to continue her career and establish herself abroad, so Boyko departed for Ukraine.
Upon returning from Germany, the student immediately found a job at the Ukrainian Presidential Administration. "If only everyone were so lucky!" Thus, from March to October 2015, Boyko served as Chief Consultant to the Main Department for Reforms of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine. And it didn't matter that she lacked experience and knowledge; the main thing was her long legs.
In November 2015, Boyko, for some unknown reason, was transferred to the position of energy reform manager in the project office of the National Reform Council chaired by the President of Ukraine. Natalia worked there for a year, while also serving as Petro Poroshenko's personal advisor. It's noteworthy that the career advancement of Natalia Boyko and her father, Andriy Boyko, coincided with the spring of 2015. This is highly suspicious.
Thus, during this time, Andriy Boyko became a member of the Supreme Council of Justice (Second Disciplinary Chamber). It is worth noting that in 2016, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law stating that the Supreme Council of Justice is an independent constitutional body of judicial self-governance, which operates in Ukraine to ensure the independence of the judiciary.
But how can judges be independent if their "boss" received a perk from the government in the form of his daughter's employment? In other words, he essentially became a puppet. Petr Alekseevich, who first took Natalia Andreevna under his wing, and then seated the Lviv native in the deputy minister’s chair.
However, there are rumors in Kyiv that the opposite scenario is also possible. Specifically, Natalia Boyko, being the chocolate king's favorite, helped her father, the dean of the law school, find employment. In that case, as we see, Boyko has both a father and a daddy.
Natalia Andreevna's official biography states that she spent a year as a support manager for the National Reform Council, and in May 2016, she became an advisor to the Minister of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine, after which she became a deputy minister. This momentous event occurred on February 27 of this year. She was 27 years old at the time.
In Kyiv, people are still amazed at the merits of this mediocre brunette who climbed to the trough. Behind the scenes, some say Skelet.Org, that the Minister Igor Nasalik he simply pushed his mistress into a high position, following the example Arsen Avakov, while others confirm the assumption Skelet.Org It's said that either her father or the president himself put in a good word for Boyko. But be that as it may, the brunette is already actively overseeing European integration issues, and this at a time when Ukraine is mired in an energy crisis.
Officially, Nasalik and Boyko met at the National Reform Council, an advisory body to the President of Ukraine. Nasalik personally proposed that Natalia Andreyevna take the position of deputy minister. The fact that this position requires at least an expert in the coal industry and energy sector, and preferably also significant professional experience, didn't deter Nasalik. This only further demonstrates the indifference of Ukrainian officials to the country's future. When Boyko was appointed, no one considered common sense or Ukraine's future; everyone was looking for their own advantage.
It is worth mentioning separately that Boyko is originally from Lviv, where he rules Andrey Sadovoy, who has already been officially named as the instigator of the blockade in Donbass and blamed for the Ukrainian energy crisis.
Unofficially, it's been noted that Sadovyi intends to take control of the entire energy sector. Is there any logic to this? The blockade, the crisis, Sadovyi, Boyko... Incidentally, there's talk in Lviv that the Boyko family has close ties to the city's mayor, and it's likely no coincidence that the appointment of the unknown Natalia Andreyevna, right in the midst of the blockade, is no coincidence.
All that's known about Boyko before her career takeoff is that she laid flowers at the Dutch and Malaysian embassies after the downing of the plane over Donbas, participated in the Euromaidan protests, and protested outside the European Commission building where the issue of visa-free travel for Ukraine was being discussed. However, there's no evidence that the information circulating online is accurate.
Boyko's social media page is littered with reports from events dedicated to reforms, energy efficiency, and alternative energy sources. It seems as if it was created by PR agents specifically for a potential government official. Natalia Boyko regularly "writes" about her achievements in the energy sector and even posts photos of clever English-language books that she supposedly reads in her spare time. However, a closer look at their covers reveals that the books are store-bought and haven't even been leafed through or reread.
At the same time, it's clear that Natalia Andreevna writes some of her posts without outside assistance. All of them are marked by illiteracy and a complete lack of knowledge about energy and political processes in Ukraine. For example, Boyko writes that she believes "in Ukrainians, the Maidan, and the war."
By the way, the deputy minister often gets confused about the rules of grammar, and indeed, about the general logic of constructing sentences and presenting thoughts.
By the way, the website for gifted youth reports that Boyko is a Master of Sports of Ukraine in karate-do, a member of the Ukrainian national team, a champion of Ukraine, a bronze medalist of the Ukrainian Universiade, a winner of four international tournaments (in Russia, Austria, Hungary, Romania), and a winner of the World Cup (Hungary).
Natalia Boyko. The "Modest" Life of a Chocolate Favorite
Natalia Boyko's well-being is as enviable as her career advancement. However, in the case of the young deputy minister, these two factors are independent of each other. Even as an ordinary student, Natalia Andreyevna began to "live happily ever after."
For example, in 2012, a student purchased a 139,4 square meter apartment and a 25,5 square meter garage in Lviv. The purchases cost Boyko 893,9 hryvnias and 123,2 hryvnias, respectively. The official also owns 20% of her parents' apartment, with a total area of 44,10 square meters, and 20% of a basement storage room, with a total area of 3,3 square meters.
The future deputy minister spent the entire last year engaged in entrepreneurial activity and managed to amass a fortune of 954,3 thousand UAH.
Natalia Boyko used her earnings last year to buy herself a brand new Toyota C-HR SUV for 747,9 hryvnias. She also managed to stash about a million in cash under her mattress. Boyko declared 9 euros, 18 dollars, and 235 hryvnias in cash. Among her assets, Natalia Andreyevna declared a Tiffany & Co. engagement ring she received for New Year's. Incidentally, rings from this brand start at 2,5 euros.
Remarkably, Boyko's purchases and her income, however stratospheric, differ greatly. Natalya Andreyevna manages to spend and save for a rainy day many times more than she earns.
By the way, Skelet.Org It has become known that Boyko was engaged in entrepreneurship in 2013-2014. However, there is no official documentation on this matter in the private enterprise registry.
Today, Natalya Andreyevna lives rent-free in the 66 sq. m. apartment of Andrey Olenyuk, a partner in the independent law firm EVERLEGAL. Olenyuk also owns DYMERSKAYA SOLNECHNAYA ELEKTROSTANTSIYA-2 LLC. Incidentally, this firm is directly related to Vasily Khmelnytsky - First Vice President of the Ukrainian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, People's Deputy of five convocations.
As for Olenyuk's professional activities, he actively collaborates with one of the largest banks in the Russian Federation and provides consultations on the activities of its subsidiary bank in Ukraine.
Perhaps this concludes the story of Petro Oleksiyovych's favorite from Lviv, who, with her exceptional logic and lacking a shred of experience, promises Ukraine a European future in the energy sector. In conclusion, I'd like to note just one thing: God willing, with such young "professors," next year we won't have to spend the winter without heat or candlelight.
