Yuriy Lutsenko

“A tough ruler does not rule for long,” wrote the German philosopher and poet Friedrich Schiller. And the politician Yuri Vitalievich Lutsenko has been illustrating this quote for more than twenty years. It is difficult to find a more controversial personality in politics. This is a person who has gone through two "orange revolutions", one of the commanders of the Kiev Maidan, an uneducated attorney general, a victim of the regime of President Yanukovych and a violator of public order at the Frankfurt am Main airport.

Yuri Vitalievich Lutsenko was born in the family of the secretary of the party committee of the Rivne region on December 14, 1964, in the city of Rivne. He received his basic secondary education at gymnasium №7 in the city of Rivne, after which he received a gold medal for success in education. After the gymnasium, Yura entered the Polytechnic Institute of Lviv, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering.

In 1989, Yuri received a diploma in electrical engineering. Yuri began his work as a site foreman at a plant in his hometown of Rivne. Then he received the position of the head of the technical bureau of the shop, a little later - the chief designer.

Yuri's career in politics began at the age of 30, from the post of deputy chairman of the Council of People's Deputies of the Rivne region. Further, Lutsenko's career is developing more and more rapidly and unexpectedly. Soon, Yuri was appointed head of the economic committee of the Rivne regional administration. And in 1997 he was appointed Deputy Minister for Science and Technology. Then he first went to the parliamentary elections, but to no avail.

In 1998, Yuri became an assistant to the acting Prime Minister Valery Pustovoitenko and advised Alexander Moroz. In 1991 he became a member of the SPU. Since the late 1990s, the politician has been actively fighting the regime of the current president of Ukraine and even becomes one of the chairmen of the action "Ukraine without Kuchma".

Yuriy Vitalievich liked the role of a rebel, and already in 2004 he became one of the leaders of the first “orange revolution” in Kiev, in support of Viktor Yushchenko. During the same period, the politician was the editor of the Ukrainian weekly Grani Plus.

The unpredictable and powerful "Orange Revolution" brought Yuri to the post of head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, despite the lack of specialized education. The first normative legal act of Yuri in his new post was a decree on the purge of personnel. It is from this step, according to the politician, that order in the country begins. But the matter did not go beyond slogans: the new head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs initiated a number of cases against politicians who supported the previous government, but none of them ended in nothing.

And Ukrainian drivers will remember Yuriy for his reforms regarding the traffic police: cleaning personnel, seizing driver's licenses for non-observance of traffic rules, anti-corruption measures. His post remained unchanged even with the change of heads of government, including under Yanukovych, with whom Lutsenko categorically refused to work. Only in 2006 the politician was dismissed from his post.

The field of resignation Lutsenko created and headed the OD "Narodnaya Samooborona", opposition to the current government. Closer to the early elections, they merged with Our Ukraine, forming the NUNS electoral bloc.

In 2007, the NUNS coalition with the Yulia Tymoshenko bloc was created. And in 2010, criminal proceedings were opened against the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who so zealously fought against corruption in the government, for abuse of power and the seizure of state property on an especially large scale. After the arrest, the politician went on a hunger strike.

In 2012, the court passed a sentence to the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: four years in prison and complete confiscation of property. And a year later, in 2013, the next president of Ukraine, about whom Lutsenko spoke so unflatteringly, signed him a pardon. Yuri was rehabilitated only after the overthrow of Viktor Yanukovych.

And in 2014, Yuri becomes an advisor to the new president, Petro Poroshenko, and the head of a newly created political party called the Petro Poroshenko Bloc. Supporting Euromaidan in 2013, Lutsenko suffered from opposition for proposals to promote the action to the east of the country - the politician was doused with brilliant green in Kharkov. In September 2014, Yuriy Lutsenko called the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics a cancer and called for a solution to the political conflict by force.

In May 2016, Yuriy Vitalievich Lutsenko was appointed to the post of Prosecutor General.

One day before the appointment, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted amendments to the law, which made it possible to appoint to this position persons without the necessary education and work experience. In his new position, Yuri again promises to rid the department of corruption.

Yuri Vitalievich is married to Irina Stepanovna Lutsenko. The future spouses met while studying at the Polytechnic Institute, in Lviv. By the way, Irina Stepanovna also takes an active political position in the government of Ukraine. In the early 2000s, she defended gender rights and the rights of national minorities, and since 2017 she has been a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc.

The Lutsenko family has two children - Alexander (born in 1989) and Vitaly (born in 1999). In September 2017, the wedding of the eldest son Alexander Yuryevich Lutsenko and the marketer Anastasia, whom the newly-made father-in-law calls his daughter, took place. The celebration took place in one of the best restaurant complexes in Ukraine with the world name “Queen Countrу Club”.

Among those invited were such persons as President Petro Poroshenko, Vladimir Groisman, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Arsen Avakov, Vitaly Klitschko, Alexander Turchinov and others. In addition, at the wedding of the son of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, an attack was made on journalists who intended to show how the official Yuriy Lutsenko uses state resources for his own purposes.

There are no wedding or family photos on the Facebook page and other social networks - the politician does not want to show his personal life to the public. And the biography of the politician is not replete with details of leisure and recreation.

Citizens of Ukraine still remember Yuriy Lutsenko's loud statements about anti-corruption measures in the post of prosecutor general, but, in fact, neither the criminal liability of officials, nor even dismissals followed. The Ukrainian press considers the case of the majors-murderers Petrosyan and Tolstosheev, who committed fatal accidents and remained unpunished, as another proof of the prosecutor general's unfoundedness.

Directly in 2017, the Prosecutor General takes part in the control of the ATO and the construction of fortifications. In addition, the official website of the General Prosecutor's Office published information about the work of the department, which noted the successes in the fight against corruption. In particular, since the beginning of 2017, 7,475 facts of bribery of Ukrainian officials have been identified, of which 2,323 cases have been referred to court.
