Alexander Harebin Political scientist biography

In a conversation with a journalist, Harebin spoke about his role in Zekoman, saying that he was not related to oligarch Sergey Kurchenko, and also raised the language question and recalled the “Russian” language, which is “part of our identity”. Why Zelensky disowned his reaction with Kharebin, his reaction was understandable, although unexpected for all team members. That dirt, the number of fakes, negativity, psychological pressure, which was poured on Vladimir Zelensky from the side of the current government, did not give a chance to a person and it does not matter what his last name to resist emotional conclusions.

In addition, the surname "Kurchenko" [businessman-tuglose Sergey Kurchenko, associated with ex-president Viktor Yanukovych] is a factor in one hundred percent negativity. It just so happened that this surname in some media and journalistic circles is associated with me. I had no other employments. I was not. Am I familiar with Sergey Kurchenko? Not familiar. Was I near the Ukrainian Media Holding?

The proposal was to look at the numbers and conclusions on the financial statements, which the well -known international audit company from the Big Four provided after its own audit of the UMH. I agreed and looked. These were interesting numbers regarding the general state of affairs in the holding. I have never talked with Sergey Kurchenko, I did not sorry for his hand and did not look into his eyes.

Yes, I personally knew that Kurchenko was buying the UMH. The whole country knew about this. Did I influence the editorial policy? Did not influence. I had no responsibility for the editorial policy, I had no information impact on anyone. And there is not a single person who would receive from me an indication regarding content, text or censorship. This is impossible.

After the revolution of dignity, when the business empire [of Yanukovych's Family] began to crumble, people left Ukraine. And those who remained received interesting offers. And I also got it. And refused. About the "Zekmand" and did I see Zelensky? Am I sorry for his hand? Did he communicate with me? Is he familiar with me? In his understanding - not familiar.

The number of people who passed through expert groups and wanted to help or invested their knowledge into the public property of the team was huge. Someone stayed for a week, some for months, someone-for several hours. Regarding my personal role: as an expert on information policy and general political issues, I participated in the work of groups on foreign and domestic policy, as well as defense capabilities and counteracting military aggression, including issues of occupied territories.

Regarding the humanitarian block, let's separate the positions of experts from the personal position of Zelensky. Sometimes these positions do not coincide. The key requirement, the condition for any person in the Zelensky team was the lack of promises from Vladimir regarding the future employment of people who came to the headquarters. It [position] is very simple about the Ukrainian and Russian language: the only state language in Ukraine is Ukrainian.

This was in no way denied by me personally or Vladimir Zelensky. This is an axiom for me. There is a state of Ukraine and there is a Ukrainian language. In relation to the Russian language, in relation to the electorate, which is located on different sides of the Dnieper, this is a very important question. When we hear the phrase “Russian language is the language of the aggressor” - yes, it is correct in essence, but in terms of society it is already perceived as a propaganda meme.

In Ukraine, they say the “Russian” language, but in reality it is “Russian”, from the word “Rus'”. And when Ukraine finally says that the Russian language is part of our identity, with its syntax, with many Ukrainisms that have passed from the Ukrainian language to Russian, with their own Odessa or Slobozhansky Russians, with a surge and political linguistics, with its own “dignity” or “Maidan” with our own understanding of the words - then this issue will disappear.

We will get Russian as part of the Ukrainian identity, which is much larger than the territory of several regions in the west of Ukraine. I personally are not about the groups of influence in the Zelensky team and was not a representative of the influence of influence. I also did not see [in Zekomande] no stable influence group. Although some knowledgeable people confidently tell me that the very ether on which Zelensky mentioned my last name several times was a kind of “greeting” from one of the groups of influence that tries to surround Vladimir with his own people.

Who is Zelensky - only Zelensky knows this. And all groups of influence or those persons who have a desire to influence someone there, I hope they will be very surprised when they find out with whom they will contact in fact. But we did not see this.About the “skeletons in the closet” in the headquarters of Petro Poroshenko, the most vile is how the state propaganda machine is used, the so -called “independent” or even “opposition” media channels are involved in the flows of sweet syrup and state wrapping regarding opponents.

Sorry, but they never touched the family.

The same is regarding drug addiction. I do not want to discuss tests and events in Lviv regarding claims to Zelensky now, this is a separate topic. When the society was told about the drug addict for a month, and then also about the bath, even if it is an allegory, sorry, this is a complete trash. I am definitely not Russophobia about the relations of Ukraine and Russia.

I definitely are not Ukrainophobe. I am a person who wants my Ukraine to be an indivisible country and have a future in a very dynamic modern world. I am sure that even if we talk in the country exclusively about the future, but without closing Gestalt over the past, it will be very difficult for us to find a common language regarding the restoration of a joint vision of this future.

The Russian government understands this well and clearly hits and orientates its own propaganda on complexes, fears of Ukrainians. After all, it was these people who created the scientific and industrial potential of modern Ukraine. This is the inheritance, it is these people, Ukrainian citizens, workers, employees, pensioners and participants in all wars of former empires - it was they who cast their votes for the independence of our Ukraine in the year.

And the eastern and central Ukraine - was almost destroyed by hunger. So what is the real Ukraine? Ukraine of the East or Ukraine of the West? Why is this not mentioned in open public discourse? The terrible price of the Soviet inheritance, for which tens of millions of people paid by lives and broken fate. But this is definitely not a reason to refuse victory in the Second World War.

A terrible victims, but victories in the entire public patriotic discourse for many years we are a victim. We always cry. We were beaten and won. We were divided and destroyed. But I want to finally be proud of our country. They were proud of their victories. Various victories. And this is also a question of a humanitarian strategy. We have something to be proud of.

Previously, Kharebin was declared the headquarters of Zelensky as one of the experts of the team. During this time, we have visited a huge number of experts. Some experts simply came to us, ”Zelensky explained.
