Vladimir Groysman

Vladimir Borisovich Groisman is a colorful Ukrainian politician who, after the coup d'etat in Ukraine, is a significant figure among the country's political elite. He came to the heights of power thanks to his friendship with President Petro Poroshenko, despite the fact that he previously held the record for corruption scandals in Vinnitsa, where he served as mayor before the government.

Groisman Vladimir Borisovich was born on January 20, 1978 in Western Ukraine, in the city of Vinnitsa. He became the firstborn of his Ukrainian parents Boris Isaakovich and Elena Vasilievna, who at the time of the birth of their son began their entrepreneurial activities and then became successful businessmen.

Today the nationality of Groisman is widely discussed: the politician calls himself a Vinnitsa in the sixth generation and considers himself a native citizen of Ukraine, but due to the fact that his grandfather Isaac was a Jew, many argue that the Ukrainian roots of the politician are out of the question. Vladimir Borisovich spent his childhood and school years in his native Vinnitsa, where the young man quite successfully graduated from high school number 35.

Having received a diploma of secondary education, Groisman decided to postpone his studies at the university for a certain period of time, and already at the age of 14 got a job at the Shkolnik MP as a locksmith. At the age of 16, the future state leader was appointed commercial director of his father's enterprises "OKO" and "Yunost", which oversaw the entire market and commercial sphere in Vinnitsa.

For the next 7 years, Vladimir Groisman was engaged in commerce, and in the late 90s he entered the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management, from which he graduated in 2003 with a degree in Jurisprudence. In February 2010, the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada became a master's degree in Management of Society Development, for which he graduated from the National Academy of Public Administration under the President of Ukraine.

Vladimir Groisman entered big politics in 2002. Then, at the age of 24, he became the youngest deputy of the Vinnitsa City Council. As a promising politician, he was also appointed deputy head of the parliamentary commission, which oversaw the issues of legality, human rights and parliamentary ethics.

A turning point in Groisman's political biography was 2005, when, with the support of Yulia Tymoshenko's party "BYuT", Vladimir Borisovich was elected mayor of Vinnitsa. The work of a state official at the post of Vinnitsa mayor is marked by many positive moments for the city: thanks to Groisman, Vinnitsa became the best city to live in Ukraine, with clean and repaired streets, with Swiss trams and transparent activities of officials. For such achievements, Vladimir Borisovich became the leader of the rating of the Committee of Voters as the most effective mayor.

In 2014, the career of a politician gained momentum. At the invitation of the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Groisman took the post of Deputy Prime Minister of the country and received the portfolio of the Minister of Regional Development, Construction and Housing and Communal Services of Ukraine. The politician came to the government with a reform program and initiated the decentralization of power in all regions of the country. In addition, Vladimir Borisovich oversaw the implementation of reforms in state regulatory bodies and headed the coordination headquarters on issues of temporarily displaced persons from the ATO zone in the Donbass.

In October 2014, Volodymyr Groisman was elected to the post of Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada. Then the politician joined the ranks of the coalition party "Petro Poroshenko Bloc". At the beginning of 2016, against the background of an acute government crisis, the candidacy of the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada began to be considered for the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine, which Volodymyr Groisman took after Yatsenyuk's resignation. The politician agreed to head the Cabinet of Ministers and prepared his own program to bring the country out of the crisis.

On April 14, 2016, Volodymyr Groisman received the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine and became the youngest head of government in the history of modern Ukraine. When asked about the new prime minister of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin did not give a clear answer, saying that he was not familiar with either the composition or the goals of the new government. But at the same time, the president noted that at that time inflation in Ukraine was more than 48%, and the payment for light increased by 53% and continues to grow.

On December 25 of the same year, the Israeli authorities canceled the visit of Vladimir Groisman to the country and declared the politician persona non grata. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that these measures caused not the actions of the prime minister personally, but Ukraine's policy towards Israel.

These measures were taken after the Ukrainian delegation to the UN Security Council voted for Resolution 2334, which calls on the Israeli authorities to stop building settlements in the Palestinian territories.

The personal life of Vladimir Groisman, like that of most politicians, is hidden from the public eye as much as possible. The politician's wife Elena Ivanovna is a non-public person and does not attend social events, devoting all her time to raising children.

Three children are brought up in the family of a candidate for prime minister of Ukraine: the eldest daughter Yulia, who is now a student at a London law school, middle daughter Christina, a student of Vinnytsia Lyceum No. 7, and son David, born in 2011.

Vladimir Groisman does not differ in outstanding appearance or growth (178 cm), but he uses his own capabilities wisely. Also, the politician actively promotes himself on the Internet and maintains accounts on popular platforms. On Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, Vladimir Groisman writes his own name in the Old Slavic manner - Volodymyr. The politician's accounts are in Ukrainian.

On February 14, 2017, Volodymyr Groisman called Yulia Tymoshenko the “mother” of Ukrainian economic weakness, the destruction of Ukrainian independence, corruption, populism and inefficiency, and also accused her predecessor of striving to destroy Ukraine for 20 years.

In response, Yulia Tymoshenko accused the prime minister of "mega-corruption." The accusations came against the backdrop of the Rotterdam + procurement scandal. As it turned out, during the blockade of trade with the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR, Ukraine purchased coal from enterprises in the Donbas at the price of Rotterdam +. This formula consists of the price of coal at an international port in the Netherlands and the cost of delivering fuel to Ukrainian territories and cannot be applied when trading with our own enterprises. At the same time, the Prime Minister himself denied that Ukraine uses the "Rotterdam +" formula in fuel trade.

On March 30, 2017, Groisman sent an official appeal on government letterhead to Tesla with a proposal to launch projects to conserve renewable energy in Ukraine. The letter was preceded by a conversation with the head of the company, Canadian-American businessman Elon Musk on Twitter.

According to rumors, the company responded to Vladimir Groisman that the level of corruption in the country is too high and does not inspire Tesla to invest in Ukrainian projects, but Groisman's press service called this letter a forgery.

Such scandals undermine the authority of the Prime Minister and cause discontent among ordinary citizens, who are going to rallies against the new government. Other politicians take advantage of this situation and put forward their own candidates. In November 2017, in front of a protesting crowd, Mikhail Saakashvili said that Ukraine urgently needs to form a new government, which the Georgian politician is ready to head.

According to the official income statement for 2015, Volodymyr Groisman earned a little more than 1.5 million hryvnia, of which 80 thousand fell on the salary. The lion's share of the BP speaker's income came from the proceeds from the lease of real estate. The politician owns two land plots with a total area of ​​slightly more than 90 acres, two residential buildings with an area of ​​1000 square meters, as well as five real estate objects with a total area of ​​21 thousand square meters.

There are 2.5 million hryvnias on the accounts of Volodymyr Groisman's banks; the Ukrainian politician has no foreign property and bank accounts. In addition, the candidate for the post of prime minister owns a 2013 Land Rover Range Rover.

Family members of Vladimir Borisovich earned 1.4 million hryvnia in 2015 through entrepreneurial activities.

According to unofficial information, the Groisman family lives in the elite village of Kozin near Kiev, next to the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. Radio Liberty and the UA: Pervy channel organized a journalistic investigation and found out that the Prime Minister himself lives in the elite residential area Novopecherski Lypky in the center of Kiev, in an apartment registered for his mother-in-law, a pensioner from Vinnitsa, Alina Burlaka.

In addition, in 2015, the politician's mother-in-law bought real estate in Kiev with an area of ​​183 m² and 59 m², the cost of which is estimated at 681 thousand dollars. This information was also confirmed by the press service of Vladimir Groisman.
