As a blogger, Anatoly Shariy fired the Minister of Information of Ukraine. Where does political blogger Anatoly Shariy live? Anatoly Shariy personal data

Actor Mikhail Porechenkov became a People's Artist of Russia. The corresponding decree on conferring the title was signed by President Vladimir Putin.

"Assign the honorary title "People's Artist of the Russian Federation" to Porechenkov Mikhail Evgenievich - artist of the federal state budgetary institution of culture" Moscow Art Academic Theater named after A.P. Chekhov," the document says.

At the same time, the artist managed to be noted in the media not only on this occasion. The greatest resonance was caused by a series of comic videos published by actor Ivan Okhlobystin on social networks, in which he and Porechenkov participate. In them, the artists declared their support for presidential candidate Volodymyr Zelensky.

There is a dialogue in the video. "Well, if he wins..." Porechenkov says. "He will owe us," Okhlobystin replies. After they pronounce the slogans: "Glory to Ukraine", "Crimea is ours" and "Everything is ours." The actors drink and hug each other, shouting: "Only Zelensky!"

In another video, they say that "Volodka is a generous person," and then they share positions in the new state. Porechenkov wants to become Minister of Defense, and Okhlobystin wants to become Patriarch. In the third video, they call Yulia Tymoshenko "the lady with the scythe".

Recall that both artists were declared persona non grata by the Ukrainian authorities in 2014.

The rollers made a lot of noise. In particular, media blogger Anatoly Shariy suggested that Ivan Okhlobystin and Mikhail Porechenkov could allegedly be paid by structures associated with the current head of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko.

"Okhlobystnin and Porechenkov were not shy. So it's one thing to hate the" bloody junta ", and quite another to take money from her if the amount is decent. This" Zelensky's support "was paid for by the AP. Without options, 300%," he wrote in Twitter.

Later, Porechenkov explained that the videos were published as part of a PR campaign for the film "Polyarny-17" about a former bandit named Vitya Myasnik. At the request of Constantinople, the actor also fantasized about what initiatives he was ready to implement if he was appointed to the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine.

"We will stop the war in Donbass, firstly. Secondly, we will restore everything that was destroyed by the military. And then we will see how to move on. We will create a navy, together with Russia, against NATO. And we will fight, yes. To end the war . Only for peace," he stressed.

“Listen, this is just some kind of holiday! As one of the commentators rightly noted: the ragouli will vote for Poroshenko, and Russia will be to blame for this,” journalist Yulia Vityazeva reacted to the situation.

(1978) Ukrainian journalist, blogger

Shariy Anatoly Anatolyevich is a well-known journalist in Ukraine and far beyond its borders. Having started his career as an author of articles for women's magazines, he quickly mastered such a creative genre as investigative journalism. The very first publication brings Anatoly Shariy scandalous fame.

Peru, a well-known journalist, owns a lot of materials on organized crime, corruption and exposing the illegal activities of high-ranking officials and public services.

The result of criticism of influential politicians and civil servants was the forced flight of Anatoly Shariy from the country and the need to seek political asylum in the European Union.

Carier start

The birthplace of Anatoly Shariy is Kyiv. After leaving school, he entered the intelligence department of the Kyiv Tank Engineering School. There is little information about the period of life before the appearance of the first journalistic publications. It is known that for some time Anatoly Shariy was a real gamer, capable of losing all the money to the last penny, but the journalist prefers not to talk about this unpleasant fact of his biography.

In 2005, Anatoly Shariy decided to try his hand at journalism, and after a while his first articles were published in well-known women's glosses published in Russia and Ukraine. In less than a year, the journalist changes genre and tries to write an article in the style of journalistic investigation. The topic of the publication was the use of minors and infants to beg for money by professional beggars. Anatoly Shariy's article caused an active discussion and determined his further biography.

After the publication of the article “Why the child sleeps”, the name of Anatoly Shariy becomes known in wide circles. He decides to continue further work in the same direction.

Brothel Orphanage Investigation

The second accusatory material was the investigation of the illegal activities of the Zhemchuzhinka orphanage, under the guise of which, according to Anatoly Shariy, a real children's brothel functioned in Odessa.

People's Deputy Mikhail Sirota and one of the human rights public organizations joined the investigation launched by the journalist. The verification of the current activities of the orphanage was delayed, including by law enforcement agencies, and less than a year after it began, a people's deputy died in a car accident.

The investigation in this case was never carried out properly. After the official closure of the case, the owners of the orphanage went to court to accuse Anatoly Anatolyevich Shariy of defamation. As a result of the trial, the journalist was found guilty and even ordered to pay compensation for moral damage. It was during the work on this investigation that Anatoly Shariy first encountered direct threats against him.

In the future, the pressure on the journalist will increase. In 2011, he will have to use a traumatic weapon against the unknown who provoked the conflict. The use of weapons for self-defense was the reason for initiating the first criminal case against Anatoly Shariy. Despite constant threats and provocations, the journalist continues to write about the abuse of power and organized crime that thrives under the guise of law enforcement.

Conflict with the Ministry of the Interior

Since the spring of 2011, Anatoly Shariy has begun a series of investigations into the drug trade and the underground gambling business. Together with journalists from one of the leading Ukrainian TV channels, he finds and presents evidence that the activities of drug traffickers are covered by high-ranking officers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In the summer of the same year, Anatoly Shariy, together with activists, managed to close one of the underground gambling establishments, which would negatively affect his future biography. In the course of the proceedings, it is possible to establish that the activities of the casino also took place under the supervision of influential employees of the same ministry.

After a series of incriminating articles, an assassination attempt was made on Anatoly Shariy: a shot was fired at the journalist's car. During the investigation into the criminal case opened after the shot, Anatoly Shariy was charged with staging an attempt on himself. The case was then sent to the court for further consideration.

The criminal prosecution of a journalist known for many high-profile investigations was called by the international human rights organization Human Rights Watch one of the signs of increasing pressure on media workers in the country.

Travel abroad

After the transfer of the second criminal case to the court, Anatoly Shariy was forced to go abroad and seek political asylum in one of the countries of Europe. Six months after the escape, it became known that Shariy Anatoly Anatolyevich officially received the status of a political refugee. An attempt by the Ukrainian authorities to return the journalist to Ukraine ended in failure, as the court of the Netherlands refused during the consideration of the request for extradition.

Today Shariy Anatoly Anatolyevich leads a channel on YouTube video hosting, where he expresses his opinion about certain events in Ukraine. In terms of popularity and number of views, his video blog takes 680th place in the world ranking.

The biggest scandal broke out in the Ukrainian information space. On the air of Channel 5, which belongs to the President of the country, the presenters published personal data and compromising information on the opposition blogger Anatoly Shariy, who had long moved to Europe. Later it turned out that Shariy himself played a trick on the journalists, slipping them a fake. As a result, the Minister of Information of Ukraine resigned. went into the details of what had happened.

The investigation is underway

Anatoly Shariy is a well-known blogger who ridicules and criticizes the Ukrainian media for inciting hatred, spreading fakes and incompetence. On his YouTube channel signed by over a million people. Each video collects several hundred thousand views - many times more than the stories of Ukrainian television. The Ukrainian authorities have long been trying to oppose something to the journalist. From time to time, dubious compromising evidence is published in the media, the blogger's channel was blocked due to numerous complaints. However, the more stereotyped the Ukrainian information space becomes, the more popular Shariy becomes. The largest one undertook to discredit him, but it didn’t work out very well either ...

Host Roman Chaika and his colleague Bogdan Butkevich, invited from the Espresso TV channel, decided to expose the blogger. The latter is known for urged shoot the members of the "Immortal Regiment" and destroy 1.5 million inhabitants of Donbass. Journalists paid attention to Shariy in broadcast broadcast"For Tea.com" May 29. Chaika and Butkevich explained that a certain Facebook user provided them with exclusive information. In particular, there were allegations that Shariy received royalties for "Kremlin propaganda". The hosts showed "secret street shooting" and a "receipt" for 16 thousand dollars. In addition, Sharia's place of residence was "revealed". They said that he lives in the Polish city of Gdynia, they indicated the exact address and phone number, the building was found on the map. “Call, call, send letters of happiness, wish him good health,” Butkevich urged, although the disclosure of personal data is a violation of the law “On Information” of Ukraine. The presenters were not embarrassed by this, they demanded to get involved (the SBU) and even the Foreign Intelligence Service in order to punish the blogger.

In addition, the presenters said that Shariy works in a certain Gremi-personal office, which is engaged in fake employment of Ukrainians. According to the presenters, some clients of the office are “thrown for money”. As evidence, footage was shown of a person resembling Sharia waiting for someone at the entrance to this organization.

Hello Poroshenko

Chaika and Butkevich did not hide their joy at the loud exposure, but the iridescent mood quickly passed. All the announced information turned out to be fake, about which in his blog told Shari himself. He, in particular, posted the full version of the filming at the alleged office of the Polish company. There he says hello to Poroshenko and calls him a representative of sexual minorities. In addition, Shariy demonstrates how he personally draws up the very “receipt” that was shown on the air of Channel 5. Journalists did not even notice inconsistencies in the total amount of the "barn book". Interestingly, all this information was given to Roman Chaika via Facebook by Shariy's reader, user . He showed how since December 2016 he corresponded with Chaika, sent him photos. He, in turn, did not even bother to check them, he believed every word of an unknown user. Although Shevchenko's page contains links to Sharia's website and other opposition resources.

“Imagine if this happened in France. The president has his own channel, and on his air two offended journalists publish the personal information of the blogger, whose crime is only that he criticizes this very government, the same president, and dared to criticize the channel and, in particular, these two offended . Imagine what will happen in France? Because France is a civilized state, and what we are dealing with is an uncivilized, absolutely limitless state, laws do not work there, nothing works at all,” Shariy summed up.

IN next issue In his broadcast, Chaika called himself a victim of an informational special operation. He told how he received information about the blogger, and noted that he was still tormented by doubts: “On the one hand, the snake sharpens - suddenly this is Sharia’s man and a swindler. On the other hand, there is a suspicion of serious criminal offenses.” “In the end, I decided to make it public and then hear the answer,” the host justified.

But the consequences were unstoppable. On May 31, Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine, curator of Channel 5 Yuriy Stets resigned. He himself indicated the state of health as the reason. “There are no political or other motives,” Artem Bidenko, secretary of the department, said. However, the Glavnovosti portal, citing its own sources, reported that the scandal caused a sharp reaction in the administration of Petro Poroshenko and it was because of this that Stets resigned.

"Their nonsense got me"

Anatoly Shariy told Lente.ru how the special operation against Channel 5 was being prepared and what he thinks about Ukrainian journalism in general.

Lenta.ru: Anatoly, was it important for you to check the professionalism of Channel 5 journalists?

Shariy: On the one hand, this is the channel of Poroshenko personally, he himself spoke about this more than once. On the other hand, this channel constantly spreads fake news. They have fallen below the floor for a long time, I constantly pointed out the lies in their broadcasts, but they did not even remove it from their site. I got their nonsense and insanity, their unprofessionalism. So I decided to show them their level.

Do you link the dismissal of Yury Stets with this scandal?

Knowing the hysteria of Poroshenko, I can imagine what a scandal he threw in his administration, how he scolded Stetsya. They talk about health problems. I think that after Poroshenko's tantrums, these problems became such that there was no other way out but resignation.

How do you generally assess the work of Ukrainian journalists?

You can't call it journalism. This is a lie, propaganda, zombification of people. Anything but journalism. Any dissenters, any alternative opinion is denied, the labels of "Kremlin agent", "agent" are hung. Ukrainian journalism has sunk below the bottom, it simply does not exist. There are individuals who are conscientious in their work, but in general it looks unprofessional and unscrupulous. People work off their money and do not think at all what they are carrying.

International organizations are talking about improving the situation with freedom of speech in Ukraine. For example, in April, the Reporters Without Borders ranking was published, where the country moved up five notches. What is it connected with?

International organizations are as far from Ukraine as the Decembrists are from the people. They only notice what they want to notice and don't see what they don't want to see. In reality, Ukrainian prisons are full of those who made some kind of wrong repost in social networks. The media are afraid and do not talk about the harassment themselves. A typical situation is when some more or less independent channel starts sounding the alarm, talking about pressure, and after a couple of weeks it is already broadcasting exclusively distilled news about the successes of the authorities.

In Ukraine, more than once cracked down on journalists. The plot of Channel 5, which caused a scandal, contained calls for the SBU to deal with you. Are you afraid?

I am under the protection of the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), I can also contact the secret services of European countries. After all, I can take care of myself. This is not the first time my personal data has appeared in public space, I have received threats, but I see no reason to be afraid. They're just bastards, it's a shame to be afraid of them. In addition, in Europe, you still can’t just come to a person and start doing something. Here they will put them for life in the same cell with the Arabs, everyone understands this.

Oligarchs close to the Kremlin, but today a completely unique and different personality from television journalists will get into the database - a network distributor of disinformation, acting pointwise and according to methods verified with the accuracy of a Swiss chronometer. We are talking about the not-so-famous Anatoly Sharia, the so-called investigative journalist who fled from Kyiv to Lithuania (with a stop in Moscow) from the regime of the ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.

Brief biographical summary

Before starting his career as a journalist, Anatoly Shariy led a rather riotous lifestyle, was fond of gambling and even abused psychotropic substances.

Anatoly Anatolyevich appeared in journalism only in 2005, at the age of 27. Shariy received his first experience in this area in the glossy publications Natalie, The Only, Polina. He worked in the newspapers "Today" and "Moskovsky Komsomolets".

Currently, he collaborates with Russian publications (Moskovsky Komsomolets, etc.). As a rule, he performs work aimed at denigrating Ukraine and Western countries. Suspected of pedophilia and charged with hooliganism causing harm to health, according to data obtained on the basis of information from open sources.

A copy of the document is at the disposal of the Database

In 2008, Shariy headed the investigation department of the Obozrevatel website, which he led for four years. It was during this period that Shariy's main journalistic accomplishments took place, which brought him fame in the media circles.

On May 1, 2011, Shariy shot twice at a visitor to a Kyiv cafe with a traumatic pistol. The presentation of what is happening in the version of Shariy is very different from what was recorded by the cameras of the cafe. The author of the entry states that Anatoly Anatolyevich attacked first and shot the victim in the back. In connection with this incident, a criminal case was opened against Shariy for hooliganism causing harm to health.

Evidence Elena Shariy, sister of Anatoly Shariy.

Shariy tried to cover events from the life of the so-called. "LDNR" - until the appearance of the story about the celebration of the two-year anniversary of the proclamation of the "DNR" on April 9, 2016. Shariy described what was happening and the holiday itself as a “drain”, after which he probably received a reprimand from his sponsors and focused on Ukrainian realities.

In fact, hiding behind the status of a journalist, Shariy gives a platform to pro-Kremlin terrorists (Timur Tamaev, nicknamed "Wild» , Chechen criminal, militant of Ramzan Kadyrov's personal guard. In 2014-15 fought in the East of Ukraine in Krasnodon at the head of the "Dikiy group"), participating in armed aggression against Ukraine and involved in hate crimes on the territory of the Russian Federation.

On October 24, 2016, a group of Ukrainian hackers called "CyberHunta" announced that they had gained access to and fully controlled the mail correspondence of the assistant to the President of Russia Vladislav Surkov, according to the information received, Anatoly Shariy cooperates with the Kremlin and takes part in a special operation to destabilize the Ukrainian state. However, a number of experts doubted the authenticity of the published files, however, the adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Zoryan Shkiryak and the former freelance adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, MP Anton Gerashchenko, confirmed the authenticity of the documents.

In addition, through propaganda and litigation, Shariy conducts an active and systematic subversive activity against Russian oppositionists, human rights activists and independent media. For example, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, using Shariy's denunciation as a tool, deprived the well-known lawyer Mark Feygin of his license to practice in Russia. In the closed section "Databases" there is an idea of ​​initiating disciplinary proceedings against lawyer Mark Feygin, in which it is stated that the interests of Shariy A.A. are protected by lawyer Gurevich S.V.

Depriving Feigin of his status is pure politics, of course. Nothing to do with law. https://t.co/4G1j1XA8OU

In addition, Shariy sued Russian political blogger Dmitry Ivanov, known as kamikadze_d. Of course, in this case, the Russian court also turned out to be on the side of Anatoly in the case “ On the protection of honor and dignity”, turning a blind eye to the provocative and offensive statements of Shariy addressed to kamikadze_d. Ivanov was forced to leave Russia due to the threat of a criminal case.

Since 2017, Anatoly has been harshly criticizing the opposition forces to the Putin regime in the Russian Federation and abroad, in particular politicians, on an ongoing basis: Alexei Navalny , Vyacheslav Maltsev And Free Russia Forum organized by the well-known Russian oppositionist Garry Kasparov. Alexander Sotnik, Arkady Babchenko, Igor Eidman and others also fell under his distribution.

On the conscience of Shariy is the high-profile case of the former Ukrainian political prisoner Oleksandr Kostenko, who was serving a term in the Russian Federation on charges of attacking a Berkut fighter. As it became known to the media, it was Shariy's video that served as proof of Kostenko's guilt in court. This video, published in February 2015 after Kostenko's arrest, allegedly provides evidence of the Ukrainian's guilt. It shows a recording of the conversation, in which the torture of "Berkutovets" is heard. On the phone, an unknown person reports on the course of torture: “One has split, and the other does not want to tell more.”

At the same time, Kostenko himself stated in court that the voice on the recording did not belong to him. The defense of the Ukrainian demanded that Shariy be summoned to court to explain where he got this record from, but the then “prosecutor” of Crimea, Natalya Poklonskaya, was against it. The court dismissed the respective motion of the defence.

According to the methodology of the Kremlin propagandists

The author of revealing articles and provocative videos, the Ukrainian journalist became popular in 2013-2014. Little was known about the ordinary media worker. Before the events that took place in Ukraine, he was known only in his homeland.

Coming from an intelligent family, Anatoly was fond of reading since childhood. Tolik's father was a creative worker, his mother worked as an engineer at the Kievpribor plant. "The Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov, the schoolboy read at the age of seven. He studied "excellent", constantly participated in school competitions and competitions.

The wall in one of the rooms of the small-sized apartment where the family lived was completely hung with his diplomas and certificates. A comprehensively developed boy was fond of photography, collected stamps and coins, wrote poetry. In the family, in addition to Tolik, his younger sister Elena was brought up. In adulthood, their relationship did not work out - the girl does not like to remember her childhood, and calls her brother a swindler and a thief.

When the father left the family, the money was no longer enough. The boy experienced all the "charms" of a beggarly existence. Due to lack of funds, the dream of higher education had to be abandoned.

After graduating from school, the young man enters the tank military school.

After the army, he tries to earn money - he comes up with ingenious schemes, creates financial pyramids. Anatoly reluctantly recalls those crazy years.

At this time, he began to earn money by playing slot machines, but quickly went into the red. Gambling dragged him down, depriving him of almost all means. He managed to get rid of the addiction with difficulty, only a few years later.

Data. Anatoly Shariy owns an apartment in Kyiv, which he inherited from his deceased mother. According to some reports, the journalist has no other real estate.

Journalist career

In 2005, Anatoly became seriously interested in journalism. He first wrote several articles on family psychology. His writings were published in the glossy magazines "Natalie" and "The Only One". Gradually, the novice correspondent moves on to social topics. The articles were devoted to the drug trade, gambling business, theft of children and other acute social problems.

In 2007, the site myjane.ru published the material “Why does the child sleep?”. A text about begging vagrants using drugs-sedated babies as cover has caused a sharp public outcry. Anatoly's work was appreciated, popularity came to the novice journalist.

Personal life

Anatoly met Olga Rabulets in a cafe. The girl at the time of the meeting was only 18 years old. Anatoly was nine years older than her. Olga actively helped her lover in the fight against gambling addiction. She had a hard time. Anatoly continued to sink money into the casino. He made scandals, tantrums, tried to commit suicide several times. A wise girl beyond her years patiently waited for her lover to calm down.

The girl's efforts were not in vain. The scandals stopped when the man managed to overcome the destructive passion. Soon a modest wedding took place. Shariy lives with Olga in Kyiv in his own apartment. A year later, the couple had a daughter, Catherine. The marriage lasted seven years.

In 2013, Anatoly proposed to Olga Bondarenko. A talented journalist becomes his faithful assistant, comrade-in-arms and friend. An active journalist and popular blogger, the girl is known for her active citizenship.

Career turning point

In 2011, Shariy headed the investigative department of the Ukrainian publication Obozrevatel. Possessing fearlessness and equanimity, he prints provocative articles that are objectionable to dishonest officials.

The persecution of an uncomfortable correspondent began. A criminal case was fabricated against Sharia. His apartment, where he lived with his young wife and sick mother, was visited several times by the police with night searches. The journalist tried to seek justice. He appealed to the Presidential Administration, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the prosecutor's office, but nothing has changed.

According to Shariy himself, he was subjected to monstrous discrimination. A criminal case was opened against him (Article 382, ​​part 2, Ukraine). He could be arrested at any moment. Due to fears of losing his freedom, Anatoly was forced to leave the territory of Ukraine with his wife and seek asylum in the EU countries.

Anatoly's videos are very popular with viewers. During its existence, the blog has collected more than 68 million views.

The video blog, which provided the correspondent with worldwide popularity, did not last long. In 2014, due to numerous media complaints, the scandalous journalist's account was temporarily blocked. According to opponents of Shariy, the blogger repeatedly violated someone's copyright in his video.
