Roman Vasilishin: biography. Political scientist and public figure

This man is from Ukraine. He grew up in a simple family, far from politics. Roman Vasylyshyn, whose biography began in the city of Lutsk, was born in 1962. The future political analyst received his first higher education at the Dnepropetrovsk Medical Institute. After that, he graduated from the State Academy of Management under the President of Ukraine.

In 2000, Roman Vasilyshyn successfully defended his Ph. D. thesis on public administration. Since 1989 he has been activelyparticipation in the internal politics of Ukraine. He was a member of the People's Rukh. In 2001, this person is appointed to the position of director of the Social Action Fund. Also for a long time he was a member of the Great Ukraine party and was a member of its Central Council.

Political views

From numerous statements and speeches, it becomes clear that Roman Vasylyshyn is an adherent of radical politics. He calls himself a "principled politically incorrect xenophobe-internationalist." In published works and numerous interviews, Vasilishin allows himself rather harsh statements, calling people of such professions as sociologists, journalists and political scientists ordinary “parasites and parasites.”

Such manifestations as democracy and tolerance, according to Vasilishin, are "the highest manifestation of social idiocy." Giving an assessment of historical facts, he says that the Stalinist repressions in the 30s were a huge boon for the Soviet people, since the extermination of the creative intelligentsia helped to delay the liberals' coming to power by almost 50 years.

Assessing his works and statements, many call Vasilyshyn an apologist for social violence, as he calls the civil war the only possible solution to the current crisis in Ukraine.

Internet Popularity

Roman Vasilishin, editor-in-chief of Control Shot, gained popularity on the Internet and became recognizable afterbegan to lead this analytical program. Recordings of his performances are posted on YouTube and collect thousands of views. During his program, he mainly covers events in Ukraine, criticizing the current government and predicting the imminent economic collapse of this country.

The start of a civil war, he considers inevitable for residents of post-Soviet countries, including Ukraine, because, judging from his words, this is the only way to achieve social justice in the state.

Roman Nikandrovich as author

Together with Igor Berkut in 2009, Roman Vasilyshyn published a book called "Brother", which many critics called a scandalous bestseller. Despite the light humor present, this book is overtly political in nature. The Aurora Publishing House, which published this work, described it as belonging to the genre of artistic political analytics.

The book was positioned as a work that should be of interest to intelligence officers, specialists in the field of international relations, civilian and military people interested in international politics. The authors recommended it for reading by categories of people who are related to the work of special forces, various military operations and the fight against international terrorism.

The book itself described hypothetically possible scenarios for the development of future military conflicts. Ukraine in this work is mainly viewed through the prism of Russian influence and, above all, through the prism ofinterests of Vladimir Putin.

It cannot be said that the book caused a huge stir, but at the same time Vasilishin managed to win his circle of readers.

Brother 2

After a short time, again in collaboration with Berkut, Roman Vasilishin released the next book called "Brother 2". This time, the authors considered the fate of Ukraine within the framework of the interests of its second "brother" - the United States. The book has a pronounced anti-American attitude. Its pages criticize the American government, which, according to the authors, imagines itself to be "the most influential and organized group of earthlings" and now, in spite of everything, is trying to control the entire space of the Earth. The authors point out that in order to achieve total control, the Americans use all available resources: from capturing the information space to political influence.

The fate of Ukraine in this work is considered solely as a toy in the hands of the United States to confront Russia. The authors consider the option of starting the Third World War, in which several countries with nuclear potential will take part. According to the described version of the possible development of the conflict, a nuclear strike will be inevitable.

Other resonant works by Vasilishin

One of the works that evoked various reactions from those who read it was the book "The President in Nature", which was dedicated to Viktor Yanukovych. It did not contain any bright incriminating evidence against the president, but was rather ironic.

She was rejectedpublished by many publishers, and one of the explanations for such refusals was that the book contained an entire chapter devoted to the current leader of the Communist Party, Petr Simonenko, and, accordingly, criticism of him.

In co-authorship with Alexander Omelchenko, the former mayor of Kyiv, Vasilishin managed to publish another of his books, called "Vryatuvati kraina" ("Save the country"). This book was conceived as a kind of manifesto appeal to millions of Ukrainian citizens, the purpose of which was to reduce the level of social disappointment and strengthen people's faith in the possible economic growth of the state. To do this, the authors called on people to speak out against the unpopular reforms carried out by the government.

All Vasilishin's books, although they did not bring the expected result and did not lead people en masse to the revolutionary struggle, found their readers. Many appreciate him as an author for his out-of-the-box thinking and ability to present very serious topics in a light and sometimes humorous way.
