Vladimir Parasyuk's name became widely known in 2014, after his active participation in Euromaidan. Before that, he was a simple videographer in his homeland, but the revolution changed his life dramatically. And not for the worse - now he is a deputy.

Euromaidan

Vladimir Parasyuk not only took part in the revolution, he was a centurion and a very ardent activist of the rally. Many,especially the supporters of the Euromaidan, remember his threatening and emotional speech towards the leaders of the opposition, whose credibility was then somewhat undermined. He delivered an ultimatum that if Yanukovych was not dismissed by the next day, he and his fighters would storm the presidential administration. It sounded like this:

We are not in any organization, we are the simple people of Ukraine, who came to defend their rights. We are not from sectors, not from self-defense, we are just a combat hundred. And I want to tell you that we, ordinary people, say to our politicians who stand behind my back: “No Yanukovych - no! - a whole year will not be president. Tomorrow he must go out before ten o'clock. I speak from my hundred, where my father, who came here, is: if you don’t make a statement by ten o’clock tomorrow so that Yanukovych resigns, we are going to storm with weapons, I swear to you!

Participation in hostilities

After the Euromaidan and the flight of Viktor Yanukovych from Ukraine, a military conflict began in the east, where Vladimir Parasyuk also went as part of the Dnepr territorial defense battalion, as a company commander. In August 2014, having miraculously avoided falling into the Ilovaisky cauldron, he was wounded, and he was taken prisoner for interrogations and information.

It was then that Parasyuk announced his decision to go into politics and participate in early elections to the Verkhovna Rada. Ran for MP in District 122, duringLviv region. He won the election, as the support of the electorate was more than impressive - he scored 56.56%. This is more than half of all votes.

In Parliament, the patriotic Parasyuk wants to cooperate only with those who really care about the future of Ukraine. And on December 2, 2014, together with several deputies, among whom were Dmitry Yarosh and Borislav Bereza, he created the inter-factional group "Ukrop".

After the Maidan, trust in Parasyuk was the highest. Vladimir Zinovievich, with his passionate, patriotic and strong speeches, convinced people that it was he who could change the situation in Ukraine for the better and save the country from the invasion of corrupt officials. Indeed, being a patriot of his country, Vladimir said a lot of things. What about actions?

Parasyuk's power politics

Most of all, Vladimir Parasyuk was remembered for fights during his time as a deputy. There were actually plenty of them. His first fight in the Verkhovna Rada took place in December 2014, when he demanded to give him the floor from the podium. Many deputies took part in the brawl at that time. Then there was a fight with the deputy Maxim Kuryachy, after the broadcast on one of the Ukrainian channels. Parasyuk hit his colleague for PR accusations.

Then there was an epic kick in the face of Vasily Pisny, when he said that he had done more for the Maidan than Vladimir Parasyuk. The situation with the strikes also occurred at the court session, which took place in the case of GennadyKorban. Parasyuk just walked up and hit the prosecutor several times. And this is not a complete list of such tricks. Three criminal proceedings have already been opened against Volodymyr Parasyuk.
