But is Irina Farion so pure and flawless? Her biography, as it turns out, has many "muddy" spots …
Family
About the family information is very, very scarce. Farion does not advertise his origin. Perhaps there are reasons for this. The Russophobe's statement that her true nationality should not be verified, but demonstrated, suggests that perhaps many bloggers and authors of articles about her were right in calling her Jewish. In fact, if we dig a little history, the surname "pannochki" is clearly not Russian. The word "farion" is found only in Yiddish. In translation, it means "swindler" (a person who deceives for the sake of gain). It turns out that the true nationality of Irina Farion is Jewish? Not a fact (the secret is hidden behind the densest nationalist curtain with a thick layer of dust), but the probability is huge. The towns (settlements) of the Commonwe alth, which included Right-Bank Ukraine, were settled by Jewish shopkeepers, usurers and artisans expelled from the principalities of Germany. By the way, the well-known socialists of the 19th-20th centuries originate from there (again, true Jews - Blank, Ulyanov, etc.)
There is also no information about who Irina Farion's parents were. It is only known that the father comes from the village of Sokolya (Mostisky district), the mother is from the villageBusovisko (Starosamborsky district). Both are from the Lviv region (Western Ukraine).
Sister Martha is an employee of Chicago City Hall and part-time friend of ex-Ambassador Miller.
The daughter of Irina Farion, Sofia, managed to become famous for the scandal arranged by the media workers. The girl was extremely offended by the fact that she was “called” by a non-Ukrainian name and sued the Vysokyi Zamok newspaper.
Farion was married to Semchishin Ostap, a native of Lvov, born in 1967. Repeatedly brought to criminal responsibility. In 2010, Farion filed for divorce.

- In 2005, he became a member of the "Freedom" association.

- Deputy of the Lviv Regional Council.
- Since 2012, the people's deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the seventh convocation.
Safe Lie?
What deputy Irina Farion did not say at first, what she stubbornly denied and what she finally admitted, having managed to distort reality once again? Was, was still a torn piece of life! A page that was not only not advertised, but was carefully hushed up. It turns out that in April 1987, while still a laboratory assistant at that time, she applied for membership in the CPSU (participation card No. 08932425). A year later, she was accepted as a member of the party (case No. 258, inventory 2, fund P92, Lviv regional archive). She left the ranks of the CPSU immediately after the failed putsch of the State Emergency Committee. Irina Farion herself (photo presentedin the article) denied her involvement in the KP for a long time and admitted her membership only in 2013, retreating in front of a wall of evidence built by journalists. Anatoliy Atamanchuk, a former lecturer at Lviv University, who gave an interview to journalist Anatoly Shariy in 2012, added fuel to the fire. Below is the content of this conversation.
Revealing interview
When a journalist asked how true the rumors were that Farion was in the party, the former teacher replied that she was the headman of the department (Ukrainian) and the only one in the entire faculty who was a member of the CPSU. She was a member of the party bureau of the philological faculty. At the meetings, Irina Farion set the tone, sharply condemning those who were not loyal to the KP.
Of course, it was about personal life, about Farion's relationship in his student years. According to Anatoly Atamanchuk, she "of course, she studied "excellently", she had a pretty face, but with crooked thin legs …" The former teacher ambiguously hinted that the student was far from chastity and could maintain close relationships with many teachers, but here he caught himself, saying that in no case did he condemn Farion, since the communists also have the right to love.
The journalist also specified the time when "Mrs. Irina" joined the ranks of the CPSU. It turns out that Farion was accepted into the party even before entering the institute. According to the teacher, he met her when Farion was in her third year, in 1983. She was a party member, a warden. "Knocked", but then it was the norm forparty members. Allegedly, she wrote that Farion was the surname of her husband. What is not true, she did not have a husband. Surname maiden. The teacher was not familiar with her activities in graduate school. When she left the party, he did not know either. Nevertheless, he suggested that he had not officially come out, perhaps he was fulfilling a party assignment for implementation.
The question arises: "If Farion is a communist, why doesn't anyone say this openly?" If she really is one of the convinced and, in fact, repainted, then she is dangerous for Svoboda too. After all, most Lviv residents are aware of its history.
Atamanchuk noted that Lviv is a specific city where there are practically no hereditary intelligentsia, since the Jews were destroyed during the war, the Poles left. The place of the departed was taken by the villagers. And decent people, from his point of view, visitors. And everyone is silent because her classmates are in the West, and those who remain are the same as Farion.
Litigation
By the way, there were enough of them. Irina Farion managed to light up not only in the role of the accuser, but also the accused. Let's focus on just one sensational trial.
In 2010, almost all media, including Ukrainian ones, discuss Russophobia. An explosion of emotions provoked a video in which Farion scolded the children for being called Russian names, advising those who did not correct themselves to pack their bags and leave Ukraine: “Never call Marichka Masha, if it’s Masha, then let him go where these Mashas live!" As a result of five minutes of convincing the children that the Russiansnames are only for Russians, Irina Farion asked: "Do not slander or denigrate Ukrainian names!"
Of course, the children told about the visit of the "strange aunt" to their parents. And, of course, moms and dads were outraged by the behavior of the deputy and decided to sue her for discrimination. To which Farion said that she didn’t want to offend the children, but “it’s wrong to adapt our names to the Russian phonetic system!” Her speeches addressed to children caused indignation not only among parents, but also among psychologists, the media, and politicians. Farion was sued for insulting children.
Scandals
Swearing can quickly become famous. And be remembered. The most effective way of PR. Deputy Irina Farion, apparently, knew about it. And enjoyed. For how can one explain such a number of scandals arranged by her? Perhaps, for a general picture, it is enough to consider the last three years of her stormy activity. So:
1. June 2010 - Farion declares that Ukrainians who consider Russian as their native language are degenerates and should be held accountable.
2. June 2012 - a Russophobe seeks the dismissal of a taxi driver who refused to switch from the wave of Russian radio.
3. In the same year, at a meeting of the regional council in Lvov, Farion stated something like this: “Where did the Russian language come from? Who sowed it? What the hell did he grow up on?”
4. May 2013 - at a mourning rally, the deputy said that a Soviet victory would never become a Ukrainian victory.
5. June 2013- Farion wrote a statement to the SBU, accusing 148 people's deputies of treason, who turned to Poland with a request to recognize the Volyn tragedy as genocide. Some deputies (including Petr Symonenko) complained then that medicine had not yet reached the stage of brain transplantation.
6. March 2013 - Alexander Zubchevsky (communist) sues Farion, demanding compensation for moral damages for gross insult. The court satisfies the claim in September of the same year and obliges the Russophobe to pay UAH 20,000. Zubchevsky. Farion defiantly refuses to pay, calling the Russian-speaking Zubchevsky a “creature.”
7. April 2014 - a Russophobe is outraged that some speeches in the Verkhovna Rada are in Russian: “Either boors or invaders speak a foreign language. The boors are simply sent, but the invaders must be shot!”
8. Then about the protests in the southeastern part of Ukraine: “These creatures… deserve only death!”

Bright statements
They, like scandals, were also many. Probably, if we put together everything that Irina Farion managed to “cast in”, it would be possible to shoot an infinitely long series about a modern hybrid of nationalism (or even chauvinism) and liberalism. In order to add another ambiguous touch to her portrait, even a couple of her statements are enough. Judge for yourself.
January, 2013 The ideological Farion, fueled by the energy of the torchlight procession in honor of Bandera, declared that no one could stop the banderization of Ukraine.
October, 2013 Farion declares (still in the same tone) that the Ukrainian generation will continue the nationalist struggle against the enemies of the people, who today appear as “gangster regionalism”, “rotten liberalism” and “pathological communism”. Ukraine, in her opinion, has two enemies: the Russian-speaking population, which is corrupting society from the inside, and Russia itself.
Famous sayings of Irina Farion:
- “Bilingualism was not formed historically, it turned out to be a legacy of genocide, Moscow occupation, mixed marriages, migration…”
- “Why are so many books published in Ukraine translated into Russian and not Ukrainian? Why does Muscovite advertising and pop music sound everywhere? We need to resort to aggressive resistance…”
- “The prophecy about the gas pipe was made by Bandera. This Muscovites have not yet stolen from us. All they know how to do is steal and lie, steal and lie, steal and lie!”
- "In Ukraine, the Russian language can neither be the second state language, norregional. He's occupying!”
- "Those who do not speak Ukrainian will be imprisoned!"
- "The holidays celebrated in the USSR have nothing to do with the history and culture of Ukraine!"
- “The structure of the Moscow Patriarchate has nothing to do with Christianity. This is a threat to a self-sufficient and free Ukraine. Under the cassocks of representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate - the security services of this country!”
