  • Ukraine Sliding from Oligarchy to Cronyism
    Ukraine Sliding From Oligarchy to Cronyism Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 10 Issue: 8 January 16, 2013 04:41 PM Age: 2 hrs By: Taras Kuzio President Viktor Yanukovych (Source: president.gov.ua) The recent appointment of a second government led by Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov confirms Ukraine’s evolution from an oligarchy to a cronyist state whereby positions of power are increasingly being accorded to “the Family,” composed of President Viktor Yanukovych’s close relatives and loyal associates from his home town of Yenakiyeve in Donetsk oblast (see EDM, December 2, 2011). “The Family” is orchestrated by the president’s eldest son, Oleksandr (http://www.pravda.com.ua/articles/2012/12/25/6980434/). Azarov is not a “Family” member and heads a caretaker government. However, twelve positions have been allocated to “The Family,” facilitating the privatization of the state budget and security forces. Illustratively, former National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Chairman Serhiy Arbuzov was made first deputy prime minister, a position from which he is likely to rise to prime minister. The new NBU Chairman Ihor Sorkin was born in Donetsk and in 2002–2010 headed the Donetsk branch of NBU. Sorkin’s wife, Angela, is the deputy head of UkrBiznesBank, now owned by Oleksandr Yanukovych but headed by Arbuzov until 2010. Both Angela Arbuzov and Oleksandr Yanukovych are (bizarrely) dentists by profession, and Oleksandr entered Ukraine’s top 100 wealthiest people in 2011, a year after his father came to power. Ihor Sorkin’s parents live in Moscow and his father is employed by a Gazprom entity whose affiliate in Donetsk employs Ihor’s sister (http://www.pravda.com.ua/articles/2013/01/11/6981269/).

  • Eu Misappropriation Sanctions Ten Years on Factsheet 2021
    CIVIL FORUM FOR ASSET RECOVERY Köpenicker Str. 147, 10997 Berlin, Germany Registry Number VR 34993 B Amtsgericht Berlin, Charlottenburg EU MISAPPROPRIATION SANCTIONS TEN YEARS ON FACTSHEET 2021 1. BACKGROUND Following the revolutions in 2011 in Tunisia and Egypt and 2014 in Ukraine, the Council of the European Union imposed misappropriation sanctions on people suspected of corruption from the ousted regimes. These require that any assets relating to people on the list, including real estate and bank accounts, are frozen in all EU Member States and that no funds or economic resources shall be made available to them. These sanctions were imposed on former rulers, as well as on their families and entourages, in order to prevent these assets from being transferred outside of the EU and hidden again and had the purpose of: • Preventing the flight of suspected stolen public assets by former regime elites, through freezing the assets, thereby making it possible to recover the assets at a later stage; • Stabilising the post-revolutionary leaderships and new governments in Cairo, Tunis and Kiev. Sanctions are imposed by the Council of the EU to promote the objectives of the Common Foreign and Security Policy: peace, democracy, and the respect for the rule of law, human rights and international law. Each year, the Council of the EU decides whether these sanctions should be renewed, amended or lifted. 2. EVOLUTION OF LISTINGS Due to the need of the EU to rely on third countries to provide evidence of corruption, and crucially, the high number of legal challenges that sanctioned individuals have brought in front of European courts, which often ruled in favour of annulling listings due to insufficient substantiation, the number of listed individuals has significantly decreased over the years.

  • Oligarchs After the Maidan: the Old System in a 'New' Ukraine
    Centre for Eastern Studies NUMBER 162 | 16.02.2015 www.osw.waw.pl Oligarchs After The Maidan: The Old System In A ‘New’ Ukraine Wojciech Konończuk There have been major changes in the balance of forces among the key Ukrainian oligarchs, rep- resentatives of big business with strong political influence, since the victory of the Maidan revo- lution. However, these changes have not undermined the oligarchic system per se. Over the past decade or so, the oligarchs have been key players in Ukrainian politics and economy, and they have retained this position until the present. One of the effects of the change of the government in Kyiv and the war in the Donbas was the elimination of the influence of ‘the family’ – the people from Viktor Yanukovych’s inner circle who formed the most expansive oligarchic group in Ukraine at the time of his presidency. The influence of Rinat Akhmetov, the country’s wealthiest man, has also weakened significantly; Akhmetov was one of the most influential people in Ukraine for more than ten years, partly owing to his close bonds with Yanukovych. Dmytro Firtash’s group has also lost a great deal of its influence since Firtash was arrested in Austria in March 2014. The elimination (‘the family’) or the reduction in influence (Akhmetov and Firtash) of what were until recently the most powerful oligarchic groups has been accompanied over the past few months by an unprecedented increase in the influence of Ihor Kolomoyskyi. The present governor of Dnipropetrovsk oblast has become Ukraine’s most powerful oligarch, and has am- bitions to expand his influence.

More than two years after the Maidan revolution, it is fully justified to say that the oligar- chic system remains a key mechanism in Ukraine’s political and economic life. While it is true that the influence of the for- merly most powerful oligarchic groups has eroded during this period, no such group except for the Family, i.e.
