Oleg Tsarev

Oleg Tsarev is a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada and a failed presidential candidate in Ukraine, a scandalous politician who has been declared internationally wanted in his homeland. He came to power from among successful businessmen and in 2014 owned 27 enterprises, but public support for pro-Russian sentiments cost him a career in business and politics.

Oleg Anatolyevich Tsarev was born on June 2, 1970 in Dnepropetrovsk in the family of a teacher at the local pedagogical institute and a design engineer for the space industry. The parents chose the name for their son in honor of the physicist, the hero of the novel "I Am Going Into a Thunderstorm" by Daniil Granin. In early childhood, Oleg lived with his grandparents in the village of Katerinovka, and went to school in Ternopil. There he became interested in the exact sciences and sports - it took several years to practice classical wrestling.

In high school, Oleg took part in a prestigious physics Olympiad and scored maximum points. The prize was an invitation to the Moscow Engineering Physics University, from which he successfully graduated in 1992. In an interview, the politician said that during his student days he became a participant in an important government project in the defense sphere, but this information is not officially confirmed.

Although after completing his studies at the university, Tsarev had the opportunity to stay in the capital, he chose to return to his native Dnepropetrovsk. There Oleg Anatolyevich worked at a machine-building enterprise. After working as an engineer, he decided to go into business.

The first direction of Tsarev's activity was the supply of computer equipment. So he not only earned a living, but also saved a little capital to implement further business plans. He began to invest these funds in various enterprises and soon created his own financial and insurance company. In 1995, Oleg Anatolyevich became the founder of the computer center, and in 1998 - the head of the Dnepropetrovsk paper mill. 2 years later, he bought and headed the local bakery.

Tsarev's career in the political sphere begins in 2002, when he ran for elections to the Verkhovna Rada. Then Tsarev bypassed 11 rivals, receiving immediately 30% of the votes. Then he was a member of the Party of Regions, but in the elections he acted as a self-nominated candidate.

In 2005-2010, Oleg Anatolyevich served as chairman of the branch of the Party of Regions. In the Rada, he was in charge of customs and tax policy. In 2007, Tsarev became a people's deputy of Ukraine, in 2011 he headed the Anti-Fascist Forum, a year later he took the place of an adviser to the then Prime Minister Mykola Azarov.

During the political crisis of 2013, Tsarev called for the disperse of the protesters by force and stated that "no government should negotiate with bandits and extremists." He publicly spoke out against the events on the Maidan, declaring them a provocation on the part of the Western special services, and advocated to ban the organizers of the riots from entering the territory of Ukraine. This became a turning point in the deputy's biography.

In 2014, Tsarev registered for the upcoming presidential elections as a candidate. The "Russian Bloc" came out for him - the Party of Regions evaded support, and later completely excluded Oleg Anatolyevich from among its members. The situation gradually escalated. After the candidate took part in the "Freedom of Speech" program, he was attacked by public activists and severely beaten.

In April, Tsarev withdrew from the elections and called on them to boycott them, explaining that he saw no point in voting, which is taking place against the backdrop of a civil war, and compared the actions of Ukrainian troops in Slavyansk with a fascist attack.

In April 2014, Oleg Anatolyevich visited the DPR and took part in the distribution of humanitarian aid. Later he came to Nikolaev to visit the injured pro-Russian activists, and again got involved in a fight with local supporters of the president.

In the autumn of the same year, Tsarev established the "Union of Refugees of Ukraine" in the Russian Federation to organize financial assistance to victims of the conflict in the East of the country. In an interview with Ksenia Sobchak, he called on both sides to stop hostilities and start negotiations. Later, the politician proclaimed himself the chairman of the parliament of the Union of People's Republics, Novorossiya.

The scandal ended the showdown in the Verkhovna Rada regarding the initiation of a criminal case against Yulia Tymoshenko in 2010. The skirmish escalated into a large-scale brawl of more than 100 deputies, and Tsarev was later recognized as one of the most zealous and cruel participants.

Photos of the conflict were spread around not only Ukrainian, but also world media. The opposition called the incident a planned beating: for 5 representatives of the BYuT-Batkivshchyna faction, the fight ended in fractures, two of them were hospitalized in serious condition.

The case of Tsarev's visit to a restaurant received wide coverage in the Ukrainian media. In 2010, the politician was invited to the "Kryivka" ("Zemlyanka") institution in Lviv, decorated in a military partisan style. At the entrance he was met by a waiter with a model of a machine gun and asked: "Are there any Muscovites?" Oleg Anatolyevich did not understand the joke (if it was her), and he was not allowed into the hall. In response, the politician called a press conference and threw out his anger, urging to revoke the restaurant's license for inciting ethnic hatred.

Naturally, the country's official authorities did not leave his position unnoticed. By April 2014, 3 criminal cases on separatism and calls for the overthrow of the constitutional order had already been opened against Tsarev. They were later joined by accusations of creating corruption schemes. Tsarev was deprived of the powers and immunity of a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada. The politician was put on the wanted list, and in 2015 the procedure for his conviction in absentia began. For help in the delivery of Oleg Anatolyevich to the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine, a reward of $ 500 thousand was announced.

Oleg Tsarev is married. He met his future wife in those days when he was a budding businessman - Larisa Anatolyevna worked in a bank and helped him with filling out financial documents, and later became an accountant in his company. Soon the young people played a wedding and settled in a small apartment in Dnepropetrovsk.

Now his wife Larisa Tsareva is listed as assistant to the director of the Dnepropetrovsk paper mill. The couple are raising 4 children. They have 2 daughters, Olga and Ekaterina, and 2 sons, Maxim and Igor. The youngest children are schoolchildren, and the two older children study in the UK.

Oleg Anatolyevich willingly shared the details of his personal life with the media: he said that he was present at all the births of his wife, he loved to tinker with the kids and play sports with grown-up children.

Before emigration from Ukraine, they lived in a house in the village of Starye Kodaki, Dnepropetrovsk region, away from the city and surrounded by guards. According to Tsarev, he inherited this mansion from his father. Now the local authorities have settled in the house of the politician, a family of refugees from Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Today the politician remains a supporter of integration and cooperation with Russia. European values ​​are not alien to him either, but he categorically rejects Ukraine's accession to the European Union on the terms proposed by the EU.

Tsarev has an official website and public accounts on almost all social networks, which he actively uses to demonstrate his political position.

In 2018, a number of Ukrainian media outlets announced that Tsarev was killed, but the source of this information was not disclosed. The former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada personally denied the rumors:

2011 - Order of Merit, III degree 2003 - Certificate of honor of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine 2013 - Pushkin Medal (Russia)
