Igor Mosiychuk: biography and political activity

Igor Mosiychuk is called the first political prisoner of the regime of Peter Poroshenko. Throughout his conscious journey, this Ukrainian journalist and politician went hand in hand with the idea of radical nationalism and spent some time behind bars.

Far Eastern nationalist

The biography of Igor Mosiychuk is full of facts pointing to his radical views. The future politician was born in a stagnant 1972 in the heart of Ukraine - Lubny, which is in Poltava. Here Igor Mosiychuk was educated in secondary school No. 1, after which he went to military service in the Far East. Already there, he showed himself as a conscious nationalist, organizing around him active Ukrainian youth. There was a time of perestroika in the yard, and the Soviet Union collapsed. For this reason, Igor's nationalist activities in the army were not hampered, and the small clashes between servicemen turned a blind eye.

Recreated an ancient Ukrainian-language edition

Such a start inspired the guy to new achievements. Upon his return from the army in 1993, together with Oleg Gavrilchenko, Mosychuk recreates the first Ukrainian-language edition in Lubny which came out even under tsarist Russia - the newspaper Khleborob. Also in his hometown, together with Olesem Vakhniy, he initiates an action in local libraries for the free replacement of Soviet literature with Ukrainian ones.

The first arrest of Mosiychuk

Already next year, a public figure can be seen in the ranks of the well-known for his radicalism UNA-UNSO. And a year later, in 1995, the name of the young politician for the first time falls on the pages of the central press. Together with other fellow party members, Igor Mosiychuk becomes a participant in the brawl with special forces "Berkut", which flared up right at the funeral of Patriarch Vladimir in Kiev. The latter were not allowed to bury the body of the Ukrainian Orthodox leader in the territory of St. Sophia Cathedral. As a result, the young politician for the first time is behind bars. The arrest lasts for several days. After that, Igor was released and the criminal case did not start.

Second arrest of Mosiychuk

But this detention did not frighten the radical politician. On the contrary, he is increasingly communicating with Ukrainian dissidents. In 1996, in the fictitious case, he was again in prison. This time Igor Mosiychuk spent six months in prison, but thanks to the assistance of respectable politicians he was released.

Active journalistic activity

Together with his fellow party members from UNA-UNSO was engaged in editing the editions of "Our Land" and "Our Word" in Poltava. In 2000, in a tandem with ex-head Luben (Vasily Koryak) released "Quiet Horror" - a printed publication that tells about the dark side of the acting head of state and Kuchma's henchmen in the provinces.

Left soft "Freedom"

In 1998, UNA-UNSO ceased to exist, and the radical figure joins the Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU). From 2002 to 2005, the politician is connected with the capital of Ukraine. Here he actively opposes the policy of Kuchma. In 2004, when the SNPU dissolves at the 9th party meeting, and the all-Ukrainian association "Freedom" is organized instead, the politician decides to leave the organization. He is not satisfied with softening the rhetoric of the party. In 2005, Igor Vladimirovich became a resident of the city of Vasilkov, which is 25 km from Kiev.

Head of Media Relations

In 2010, Igor Mosiychuk, without changing his political views, joined the ranks of the Social-National Assembly. Subsequently, he will lead the party service for relations with the media. Promotes the formation of the Social-Nationalist Party and its official recognition in the country.

"Vasilkovsky terrorist"

The year 2011 for Mosiychuk is marked by a new clash with law enforcers. This time, he and several other nationalistic figures are charged with serious charges - the organization of terrorist acts. Workers of the capital's SBU find in Vasilkovo an explosive device. At that time, local deputy Igor Mosiychuk, Sergei Bevz and deputy deputy Vladimir Shpar are accused of initiating two terrorist operations. In Boryspil - on the undermining of the local monument to Vladimir Lenin, and in Kiev - for the holiday on August 24.

In 2013, the capital's court sentenced politicians to six years in prison. But the events on the Maidan 2013-2014. Entailed the decision of the Verkhovna Rada on the rehabilitation of these political prisoners. And they were safely at large. Igor is actively pouring into the business of reconstructing the country's political system.

Take-off on the career ladder

Already quite famous for the "Vasilkov case" Mosiychuk in the spring of 2014 passes to the Moscow council from the Radical Party Oleg Lyashko. And in the autumn of 2014 the "terrorist" gets to the Verkhovna Rada. People's Deputy Igor Mosiychuk becomes the ninth in the list of Lyashko's party. All this time he takes an active part in demolishing the monuments of Lenin and other communist figures throughout the country.

Fourth arrest of Mosiychuk

It would seem that now the radical has found its place in the political horizon. But already in 2015 he again try to tie his hands. People's Deputy Igor Mosiychuk is accused of a scheme with a corruption component. The main prosecutor is Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who demonstrated a video recording with the participation of Mosiychuk. In September, the Verkhovna Rada removes his immunity from him and allows him to arrest him again. For a radical figure, this conclusion becomes the fourth. At the moment, he remains behind bars.
