Oleg Tyagnibok
New evidence has emerged that Tyagnibok’s party (Read more: Oleh Tyahnybok: Sponsors and allies of the Ukrainian nationalist) collected regular payments from the unofficial cashier “Party of Regions”
Back in the spring of 2014, we published an investigation that revealed that unofficially one of the current rulers of the Svoboda party had ties with Russia, oligarch Dmitro Firtash. Zi stipіv to the Yanukovych regime, its main sponsor and beneficiary, writes the Express newspaper.
We then brought up irrefutable facts, literally, about those that the current People’s Deputy Krivetsky, who to this day is the key influence in making decisions in Tyagnibok’s party, having made his old mother Firtash’s formal business partner, to get your business connections from him.
In response to the influx of Yanukovych’s party into Tyagnibok’s party, he pointed out a number of indirect facts. Ale, of course, it was important.
And a new confirmation came from. People's Deputy Sergei Leshchenko stated that the VO "Svoboda" appears on the list of "black kasa" of the Party of Regions, which is now being investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
"In our ordered files, there is a payment in the amount of 200 thousand dollars on the 4th leaf fall of 2010, signed by the region's Vitaly Kalyuzhny. The payment is accompanied by the following description - "VO "Svoboda" (commissions),” said the former parliamentarian.
“Svoboda” did not succeed in asking for arguments. “What he declares about, let him publish it, then we will talk about it,” - Oleksandr Mirny, head of the secretariat of the All-Russian Union “Svoboda”, did not over-confess.
“Pan Serhiy, the activists of “Svoboda” commented on your statement like this: “So what? You can’t buy a party for 200 thousand dollars,” we responded to People’s Deputy Serhiy Leshchenko. — The tranche from the specified batch, how will it be withdrawn as a single one, recorded at the black bank of the PR?
- No, he’s not the only one. The trenches were made at different times. I don’t want to name specific dates, but there is more than one election period.
— Do you have a version of what the Party of Regions “Freedom” itself could have paid for?
- At that incident, which I was talking about, there was a note: “IN “Svoboda” (commissions).” Obviously, we are talking about funding within the framework of the election campaign - in the fall of 2010, elections were held for local government in the entire country. (It seems that one of the oldest schemes of Ukrainian political corruption is the sale of pseudo-opposition parties to their quotas in election commissions, - Author.) I also know that they saw money on mobile television broadcasts of VO “Svoboda”.
— Was it possible that Yanukovych’s team would accept the PR of Tyahnybok’s party, which publicly positioned itself as an irreconcilable opponent of the regionalists?
— I think that Ukrainians can make a living on their own... “Freedom”, as a part of the political process, was an indispensable part of the landscape, which allowed Yanukovych to vikorize his rhetoric about language and ideological nutrition. It is impossible not to know that the presence of “Svoboda” in the political landscape was part of the concept of the split of Ukraine, as Manafort promoted Yanukovych, and Yanukovych himself pushed through. (Paul Manafort is an American political strategist of Yanukovych and Akhmetov, with the team of a former, zokrem, a graduate of the Russian military university, which released personnel for work behind the cordon - Auth.)
Earlier, in 2004, Tyagnibok’s rise on Mount Yavorin also played into Yanukovych’s hands. He sent a signal about the fact that Ukraine is nationalistic and Ukraine is pro-Russian. Apparently, on this split Yanukovych was launching his political campaign.
— Are there any similar speeches on the side of “Svoboda” along with the rest of the decades?
— Suffice it to say that the initiative under the law of Kolesnichenko-Kivalova was actively victorious by Russian propaganda during the hour of occupation of Crimea and the outbreak of Russian aggression.
— It is important for supporters of “Svoboda” to believe that this radical political force could support the pro-Russian camarilla of Yanukovych. How can we take into account that the PR fairly paid the money to Tyagnibok’s party?

— For days, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine confirmed the veracity of the money for Manafort. So, in this way, “Svoboda” is indicated in rows below the “black accounting” department.
