The overall situation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been decided, and people have to think about whether Ukraine will face a major change of blood after the end of this conflict, after all, Putin's purpose is to eliminate the anti-Russian forces in Ukraine and make Ukraine obedient, then it will have to change the dynasty, and Yanukovych, as Putin's closest partner, is likely to return to the king.
The name Yanukovych is full of "painful memories" of ukrainians.
He is the representative of the pro-Russian faction in Ukrainian politics and Putin's closest partner. Russia's praise for him is very high, because Ukraine intends to join NATO, repeatedly touching Russia's bottom line, and after he came to power in 2010, he began to "correct the chaos" against Ukraine. But the good times did not last long, and he was ousted from power in 2014 because of the "Square Revolution" and has been on the run in Russia ever since.
Tragic early career, born in the grassroots, but without losing the ambition!
Yanukovych was born in 1950 to a working-class family that was not wealthy and did not provide him with good conditions for growth. He grew up in Donetsk Oblast, which is in the eastern part of Ukraine and is one of the two most pro-Russian states in Ukraine, indicating that Pro-Russian after Yanukovych came to power.
The historical conflict between the Eastern Donetsk Region and the Western Region of Ukraine represents both pro-Russian and pro-Western blocs and constitutes an important factor in Ukraine's internal instability. On February 21, 2022, Putin delivered a national video speech declaring the recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic of Ukraine as independent states. Obviously, after the end of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Ukraine has two pieces of meat missing.
Yanukovych's mother died when he was two years old, after his father remarried, he was thrown out of the house, had to rely on his grandmother for his life, the childhood was very tragic, but he had tenacious willpower and integrity, from an early age to show more independence than his peers, when he went to school as a child, the distance from home to school was 7 kilometers, but he actually walked to school, which was too powerful.
Twice imprisoned, not humble, noble people help each other, grievances are revealed
In his youth, he was also imprisoned twice, which was inseparable from his righteousness, once when he was accused of participating in the criminal gang "Pivnovka" and ate a six-month prison meal, when Yanukovych was only 17 years old. The second time was to save the hooligans from sexual harassment
The girl caused moderate physical harm to others and ate another 9 months in prison, this year at the age of 20.
After that, he began to study the law, to seek justice for his two wrongful imprisonments, repeated requests to the court to reiterate that they were rejected, he understood that he could not succeed on his own, in 1978, astronaut and representative of the Supreme Soviet Beregovoy sent a letter to the Donetsk Oblast Court, which retried and cancelled Yanukovych's previous two criminal records, and then began his career.
Three times killed, there are no dangers
Once when I was playing with friends as a child, playing games, accidentally falling into a deep well during a fight, fortunately there was no danger, rescued by the adults who heard the news, otherwise there would be no fourth President of Ukraine, Yanukovych.
When inspecting the metallurgical plant for the second time, somehow, the soles of his feet collapsed, and he almost lost his life in the stinky pool of the factory, and was later salvaged by the workers in time.
Three times, when the 64-year-old was giving a selected speech, he was hit in the head by the public and fell unconscious, but fortunately he was sent to the hospital in time to retrieve a life, after which his political enemies often slandered him with "previous crimes" and "speech accidents".
Yanukovych's early years were difficult and ill-fated, but his path to politics was the opposite.
With no background, he began working in a steel mill to make ends meet, but he had big ambitions, studied politics while making steel, and became an executive in the factory five years later because of his outstanding performance.
After that, he was like recharging the plug-in, stepping on the clouds. In 20 years of work, he became the head of the factory, and he also studied at the university of donetsk State Technical University, where he obtained a bachelor's degree. He joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union shortly after, and in 1978 the Soviet Union had not yet collapsed and Ukraine had not yet become independent. As an assistant to Beregovoy, he began to enter politics.
Yanukovych's mansion
Yanukovych was a very economic-minded man, in his 20-year career, he first accumulated his first fortune in steelmaking, the most important source of wealth was the acquisition of natural gas companies, accumulated a lot of wealth, and when he sat in the position of prime minister, his son became the governor of the Central Central Bank, becoming a rich man worth 510 million US dollars.
His mansion was in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, but he did not live very often, and was not found until his downfall, when the people rushed into his mansion and seized a large amount of gold and silver jewelry and various collectibles, famous cars and yachts, shocking, and then seized by the new government, sealing the mansion.
After the mansion was exposed, it was questioned that he was corrupt, otherwise how could he have so much money to buy the mansion.
Soon, the new government wanted to return his mansion to the state treasury, and soon Yanukovych said in Russia that the house had been bought entirely with his own money, that he was the official owner of the 140-hectare mansion, and that the rest of the area where the house was located was the private property of others, all of which were not owned by Ukraine, and that international lawyers would soon file lawsuits against the opposition for illegal appropriation.
The bumpy road to president, defeated by competitors, ups and downs
In 2001, Yanukovych was already a well-known political figure at home and abroad, but he studied tirelessly, strived for higher attainments, and got a master's degree in law.
In 2004, Yanukovych and Yushchenko ran for president, the former far outlined the latter, but under the control of the United States, the "Orange Revolution" broke out to negate the vote in the previous presidential election, and created a conflict parade to support Yushchenko, who became the president of Ukraine with the support of the United States.
In the first election, Yanukovych was arranged, he was extremely angry, but no one supported him, in this presidential election he did not win, but he was not depressed, but instead preparing for the next election.
He summed up the reasons for his failure, he was not fierce enough, the backer was not big enough, he managed to repeal the "orange" alliance agreement, and the political situation in Ukraine was reversed. He was pro-Russian, and Putin supported him in this regard, and then threatened Yushchenko with an early presidential election on behalf of the "anti-crisis coalition", and in 2010, Yanukovych won this round of presidential elections.
"Ambitious" Ukrainian President Yanukovych
After coming to power, he felt that his responsibility was heavy, he gained the world, and believed that he had the ability to govern Ukraine well, lead Ukraine to a higher place, and improve the level of the national economy.
At the inauguration ceremony, the ceremony was attended by heads of state, heads of government or their senior representatives from Dozens of countries, including China, Russia, the United States, and other countries, as well as delegations from international organizations such as the European Union.
In his inaugural address, he once again stressed that Ukraine is a country that will not be allied and will not join any military bloc. The Russian side is very satisfied with this, congratulates him, and hopes that he will lead Ukraine to a correct truth, and Russia and Ukraine are friendly partners.
The challenges are fraught with difficulties
Although he has won the world, whether he can govern the world well is an important reason for whether he can sit firmly in the world, if internally, he cannot promote economic development, externally, can not balance the relations between the big countries, he will still be ousted.
In order to consolidate their position and win the hearts and minds of the people. He proposed to raise Ukraine's economy to the top 20 international universities within 10 years, 3 Ukrainian universities to rank among the top 500 universities in the world within 10 years, and strive to build 1 million square meters of affordable housing for young people, budget workers, low-income families and vulnerable groups within 10 years, focusing on the economy and people's livelihood.
After taking office, Yanukovych advocated ukraine to revise its previous "one-sided" pro-Western policy, and in July 2010, President Yanukovych signed the Law on Principles of Domestic and Foreign Policy, which legally determined the direction of policy adjustment. For more than a year, Ukraine's foreign policy has been basically successful, and the external environment has improved significantly.
If you are not careful, you will lose everything
Yanukovych's most wrong thing was two things, which during his time in power greatly reduced his prestige and eventually led to the collapse of the "Sub-Edifice".
- The lease on the port of Sevastopol, which is located in the east and west of Ukraine and borders Russia, was leased to Russia, extended until 2042, and the domestic reactionaries were greatly dissatisfied with it, believing that Yanukovych was a traitorous performance.
This port is of great significance to Russia, so Russia has always occupied this place, so it is next to the Black Sea, connecting the Mediterranean Sea, is the only way for Russia to get out of the Mediterranean, so it has important strategic significance and has always been a place of concern for all countries.
Therefore, Russia is a place of contention for this, without this place, the impact on Russia is very large, the defense of the west will be greatly reduced, and the US fleet stationed in the Black Sea may not be necessarily.
The 2014 Ukraine crisis, Crimea and Sevastopol declared independence, Putin recognized, incorporation into the Russian Federation, Ukraine does not recognize the independence of these two regions, the 2022 Russian-Ukrainian conflict, one of Russia's conditions is that Ukraine recognize the independence of these two regions.
Second, in 2013, Yanukovych tried to turn his diplomatic direction to the West, and Ukraine, which has always been the most pro-Western force in history, announced its withdrawal from the agreement when it was ready to sign an agreement with the European Union, which caused dissatisfaction among the domestic people, and then intensified, and the "Square Revolution" broke out, which is the Ukrainian crisis.
Yanukovych was ousted from power, his whereabouts are unknown, in fact he fled to Belarus in Russia, he was abroad, his heart was close to his homeland, he never forgot to fight for his power, Ukraine tried him for treason and was sentenced to 13 years in prison, but in Russia, Russia will not send Yanukovych, Ukraine has no chance to send him to prison.
Since then, Yanukovych has taken refuge in Belarus.
Yanukovych has only been in office for a short period of four years, which is too short, and it is not enough to make great achievements, at least two consecutive terms of 10 years, although it has improved to a certain extent economically, and it has been the most popular leader, but it is not satisfactory diplomatically, Russia wants to rebuild the Eurasian empire, does not want to lose Ukraine, promised $15 billion in financial support, and Ukraine is moving westward, wanting to get more benefits. You can't have both.
Eventually, Yanukovych was ousted and reduced to Ukraine's most tragic president.
