Who is Turchinov his autobiography and nationality. Turchinov Alexander Valentinovich: biography, personal life, political career. The speaker is lying, acting President of Ukraine and Commander-in-Chief and Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine

Place of birth, education. A native of Dnepropetrovsk. In 1986 he graduated from the Dnepropetrovsk Metallurgical Institute.

"Pre-BYuT" period. After high school, he worked for a short time as a roller and foreman at the Krivorozhstal metallurgical plant, and then switched to Komsomol work. From 1987 to 1989 was secretary of the district committee and head of the propaganda department of the Dnepropetrovsk regional committee of the LKSMU. He acted as one of the coordinators of the Democratic Platform in the CPSU, which advocated the renewal, decentralization of the Communist Party, for which he lost his party card.

Not finding mutual understanding with the "guiding and guiding", Turchinov plunged into business. In 1990, with partners, he created and headed the Ukrainian branch of the IMA-Press news agency, which published books and newspapers.

In 1991, he headed the Institute of International Relations, Economics, Politics and Law, which he himself created. In 1992-1993 headed the economic committee of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional State Administration. In 1993-1994 was an adviser on economic issues to the Prime Minister, whom he met at the time when he was in charge of the Dnepropetrovsk giant plant Yuzhmash.

With Tymoshenko - for life. In 1994, Turchynov created the All-Ukrainian Association Hromada. The name of this political force, for many, is primarily associated with the odious prime minister of the times of President Kuchma, although he joined it and headed it only in 1997. And shortly before that, one of the leaders of the corporation Unified Energy Systems of Ukraine, which supplied Russian natural gas, appeared in Hromada. Since then, Turchinov and Lady Yu have been inseparable in politics.

In 1998, he first became a people's deputy (later he received a mandate four more times: in 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2012). He entered the parliament on the Gromada list, although he was soon expelled from his own offspring - due to an intra-party split. In the Verkhovna Rada, he headed the budget committee. At the same time, he initiated a radical budget reform, the redistribution of public funds in favor of local government, the healthcare system, the educational and coal mining industries. Wrote a program de-shadowing the national economy.

The new political project of Turchynov and Tymoshenko was the All-Ukrainian Association of Batkivshchyna (established in July 1999). The main post in it was taken by the "gas princess", who soon received the portfolio of vice-premier for the fuel and energy complex in the government.

In the summer of 2000, Tymoshenko started having problems with the president and his entourage, in January 2001 she was dismissed, and then sent to a pre-trial detention center. Since then, Turchinov and Lady Yu with their Batkivshchyna have been in opposition (with the exception of eight “post-Maidan” months). First - a tough confrontation with the Kuchma regime (both in parliament as part of the faction, and on the streets of Ukrainian cities). This was the period of the actions "Ukraine without Kuchma" and "Arise, Ukraine!", the creation of the National Salvation Forum and the "orange revolution", which ensured victory in the presidential race for Viktor Yushchenko, and Turchynov's contribution to which turned out to be quite significant.

In the wake of the revolution, the first deputy leader of the Batkivshchyna and BYuT receives the post of head of the Security Service of Ukraine, and his colleague Tymoshenko becomes prime minister. However, the period of stay in power did not last long. In September 2005, at the peak of the "intra-orange" conflict, Yushchenko dismissed the Tymoshenko government. The indignant head of the SBU himself submits a resignation letter, in which he notes that the decision of the head of state "threatens national security." So the fight against "Kuchmism" was followed by a confrontation with the Yushchenko team, and at the same time with, which led to the 2006 parliamentary elections. All this time, Turchynov spoke with methodical criticism of both our Ukrainians and the Regions. He accused the former of betraying the ideals of the Maidan, the latter of trying to restore the regime that was defeated at the end of 2004.

After the failed attempt to form a new "orange coalition" following the results of the 2006 elections, it was the turn of the war with the anti-crisis coalition, interspersed with a showdown with Our Ukraine and Yushchenko. The permanent political crisis in June 2007 resulted in the early termination of the powers of the Verkhovna Rada of the 5th convocation. Turchynov, like most members of the BYuT and Our Ukraine factions (by this time the political forces had entered into another alliance), wrote a statement about the resignation of the deputy mandate. And on May 23, in the midst of a confrontation with the ruling coalition, Yushchenko appointed him first deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

In the 2007 early parliamentary elections, Turchynov was again given control of the BYuT election headquarters. As a result of the vote, the bloc received 156 seats out of 450 possible (27 more than in the previous campaign). After the creation of a coalition between the BYuT and the pro-presidential bloc and the approval of Tymoshenko as prime minister, Turchynov took the chair of the first vice prime minister in the government.

Tymoshenko entrusted her first deputy to supervise such responsible areas in the work of the government as finances and the fuel and energy complex (in particular, solving gas problems and eliminating the intermediary company and RosUkrEnergo from the market). Because of the prime minister's illnesses, he often had to replace the boss at meetings of the Cabinet of Ministers and on visits to the president, as well as repel Bankova's information attacks. Experts cite both the head of state's concern about the growth of the prime minister's rating and the personal conflict between the head of the presidential office and Tymoshenko and her team as the reason for them.

After the decision of the Verkhovna Rada on the re-election of the mayor of the capital and deputies of the Kyiv City Council, Turchynov's associates started talking about a possible candidate for the post of the capital's mayor from BYuT. At the same time, the potential candidate himself said that he did not want to be the mayor of Kyiv, but if the party says "We must!", then he will run. The party still said "We must!". As a result, he took second place, skipping ahead.

After he became president in 2010 as a result of regular elections, the Tymoshenko government was dismissed, and Turchynov lost his post.

Since December 2012 - People's Deputy of Ukraine of the VII convocation from the Batkivshchyna party (No. 4 on the list). Member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Informatization and Information Technologies. First Deputy Head of the Batkivshchyna Party.

In August 2014, together with Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Arsen Avakov and a number of others, he left the political council of the Batkivshchyna party due to disagreements. After that, the party was organized, before that he was the first deputy head of the Batkivshchyna Military District and the head of the Central Headquarters of the party. During the extraordinary parliamentary elections, the party took first place.

On November 27, 2014, Oleksandr Turchynov announced the termination of the powers of the Verkhovna Rada of the 7th convocation and left the post of Speaker of the Rada. The deputies saw off Turchinov with applause and chanting "Well done!"

To information

The "godfather" of Alexander Valentinovich Turchinov as a politician is the former prime minister Pavel Lazarenko. True, for unknown reasons, Turchinov himself denies this, as his longtime colleague denies the obvious. Yulia Timoshenko. But if there is still logic in denial on the part of Yulia Vladimirovna (perhaps she fears that this format of relations, given the whole range of their ties with Lazarenko, will definitely look like incest), then denial on the part of Alexander Valentinovich has no logic at all. It is unlikely that the format of their relationship with Lazarenko was as complex as in the case of Lazarenko and Tymoshenko, although, as they say, anything can happen.

In 2003, Turchynov first gained all-Ukrainian fame when the Prosecutor General's Office appealed to the Verkhovna Rada with a request to agree to bring him to criminal liability along with another deputy from the BYuT Stepan Khmara. They were charged with committing crimes under three articles of the Criminal Code at once: “Seizure of state or public buildings”, “Threat to law enforcement officers” and “Exceeding power or official authority with the use of weapons and insulting law enforcement officers”, since they entered the territory of the Lukyanovsky pre-trial detention center, where staff were insulted and beaten. Alexander Valentinovich indignantly rejected all accusations, calling the prosecutor's presentation a provocation. Parliament also denied the request of the then Attorney General Svyatoslav Piskun, without giving consent to bringing Turchinov and Khmara to criminal responsibility.

In the same 2003, the tax authorities detained one of Alexander Valentinovich's assistants near the office of the Batkivshchyna party. Ruslan Lukenchuk, who was charged with involvement in an illegal conversion center. At the same time, Prosecutor General Piskun stated that the detention of Turchynov's assistant was part of a planned process of measures to initiate a criminal case. It was, according to him, about hundreds of thousands of illegally converted dollars, which came to the office of the Batkivshchyna party. But the investigation dragged on, and after coming to the highest government post Viktor Yushchenko and completely disappeared. Indeed, under him, Alexander Valentinovich himself became a "punishing sword", heading a very serious institution, known by the abbreviation SBU.

With the advent of Turchynov to this post, the highly professional investigative group of the SBU, which was investigating the murder of a journalist, was disorganized. George Gongadze since 2002. Alexander Valentinovich also gave a strict instruction not to report operational data on the Gongadze case to the SBU investigation team. The very same investigation team, headed by the deputy chairman of the SBU Andrey Kozhemyakin actually thwarted a special operation to extradite a general from Israel Alexander Pukach.

In 2005, the SBU opened an operational-search case (ORD), which included tapping the journalist's phone Alexander Korchinsky. At the same time, the decision to open an operational-search activity was made personally by Turchinov, and the case itself was opened with blatant violations of all the rules, including the forgery of documents. In general, Alexander Valentinovich was distinguished as chairman of the SBU by extreme unscrupulousness and uncleanliness. It got to the point that he bugged the top leadership of the country and seized documents with subsequent destruction, which spoke of Yulia Tymoshenko's connections with a criminal businessman Semyon Mogilevich. Therefore, it can be considered a miracle that Turchinov got away with all this.

Alexander Valentinovich considers himself a Baptist. In fact, the Faith Movement, to which he belongs, was founded by a notorious Nigerian Sundayem Adelaja and it has nothing to do with Protestantism, to which Baptism belongs. The Faith Movement has a special teaching, which, according to authoritative experts, cannot be called Christian. In fact, it represents the occult, which is only covered by Christianity.

Turchinov's penchant for the occult is also confirmed by the fact that he loves the number seven. He published his book "The Coming" with a circulation of 7,770 copies, and his car AudiQ7 (such a car in the minimum configuration costs at least 80 thousand dollars) has the number AA 7777 TO (Turchinov Oleksandr).

(Ukrainian Oleksandr Valentinovich Turchynov, born March 31, 1964, Dnepropetrovsk) - Ukrainian politician and statesman, since February 22, 2014 he has been the chairman. Since February 23, 2014, by the decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, he has been acting President of Ukraine. Since February 26, 2014 - Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
