Kirill Timoshenko time to think about reputation //KV collage
Deputy Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Tymoshenko (pictured below in the center) has been residing since July in the home of the adviser to the mayor of Kyiv and a large developer Igor Nikonov (pictured below on the right), which is situated in the Golden Gate cottage town (Kozin). The wife of Kyrylo Tymoshenko pays 230,000 hryvnias for rent every month, because he feels safer in Golden Gates than in Podgortsy. And it just so happened that because of the fence from Tymoshenko, there is the empty estate of the ex-co-founder of the Opposition Platform for Life, MP Sergei Levochkin, and across the river, the estate of his sister Yulia Lyovochkina (both below in the photo on the left), which the Verkhovna Rada yesterday deprived of her mandate, writes KV .
KV became aware of this from an article by UP journalist Mikhail Tkach and his material from 2014, when he worked as a journalist for the Schemes program (a joint project of Radio Liberty and the First National Channel) 2015 year.
Thanks to the analysis of messages and videos of the deputy head of the Presidential Office Kirill Timoshenko in social networks and “with the help of sources in political and business circles”, Tkach found out that Tymoshenko resides in the home of the famous Kyiv developer Igor Nikonov (K.A.N. Development).
“This is an estate of almost 1200 square meters with its own access to the reservoir, which belongs to businessman Igor Nikonov… ”, the article says.
Probably, Kirill Timoshenko believes his new home with his wife in the Alpiyka cottage town in the village of Podgortsy on the Novoobukhovskaya Highway to be a “dangerous place given the regular rocket attacks,” Kirill Timoshenko considers him and his wife to be a “dangerous place”
The deputy head of the office even agreed to show [“UP”] the lease , which was concluded with Nikonov in July this year”.

“In accordance with the agreement, the estate is rented by the wife of Kirill Tymoshenko. And the cost of rent is 230,000 hryvnia per month, which at the current exchange rate is about 6,000 dollars,” writes UP.
Which, according to the author of the material, is not enough, because the real monthly rent houses “in this cottage town can range from 10 to 25 thousand dollars”, depending on the state of the estate and the quality of the materials used in the decoration.
Kirill Tymoshenko is fortunate with his neighbors: Lyovochkin, Firtash, Shufrich, Tabachnik, Khoroshkovsky
Mikhail Tkach notes that for security reasons he does not name the settlement where Kirill Tymoshenko, deputy head of the Presidential Office, has been living since July.
“For the same reasons, we do not disclose Tymoshenko’s new influential neighbors. Although for a general understanding, these are former formal and informal leaders of the state and big businessmen,” Mikhail Tkach hinted.
At the same time, he published another photo of Nikonov’s house from his own 2014 material about the house of Sergei Levochkin, a people’s deputy from the Opposition Platform for Life, ex-founder of this party, former head of the administration of fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych. This house – across the fence from Nikonov's house – is located in the Golden Gate cottage town (Kozin, Obukhov district).

On the neighborhood of Nikonov and Levochkin in the spring of 2015 also Schemes (a joint project of Radio Liberty and the First National Channel) told.
“It seems that another representative of Firtash’s political group, ex-deputy head of the Yanukovych administration, Sergei Levochkin, is not alien to Igor Nikonov. Nikonov lives with him through the fence in the Golden Gate elite residential complex in Koncha-Zaspa,” Schemes reported in the story “Igor Nikonov: the gray cardinal of the capital.”
Many news outlets also reported on the vicinity of Nikonov and Levochkin, and all these reports are available on the Internet for anyone to see. KV believes that after Mikhail Tkach's article yesterday, this information is not secretive and poses no threat in any way.
House number 1 belongs to Sergei Levochkin, and house number 2 belongs to Igor Nikonov, as shown in the “UP” screen from 2014.
Across from the properties of Levochkin and Nikonov, there is an island visible across the strait, which used to be an uninhabited island. In the summer of 2014, UP journalist Sergey Leshchenko wrote that due to a special sand deposition on the island's south side, and in violation of current laws, the island became the private property of Yulia Lyovochkina, the sister of the former head of the presidential administration and a member of the Party of Regions, as Sergey Leshchenko reported.
Incidentally, not far from the children's estates is the estate of Evgenia Lyovochkina, the mother of Yulia and Sergey.
Video material for Sledstvie.Info, May 2015, YouTube Hromadske, called “Golden hectares” by Maxim Afanasenko.
“… Julia Levochkina… received three hectares of land in Kozin, Kyiv region… Its area is washed by a canal – it is actually an island. You can build only hydraulic structures there – and no housing. The State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate told us that Lyovochkina plans to build a housing complex on that land, and the contractor for the preparatory work is K.A.N. Stroy”, general contractor for the holding “K.A.N. Development”. Preparatory work on the land of Yulia Levochkina “K.A.N. Construction began even when Igor Nikonov was the president of the company,” Schema reported in 2015. png” class=”wpg_image” width=”1106″ height=”1600″ alt=”” />
It's time for Kirill Tymoshenko to think about his reputation
So far, the three-hectare development project on the island seems to have remained on paper.
Now on Googlemap it can be seen that only on a small (northern) part of the island right opposite the estate of Sergei Levochkin, two cottages were built and a yard was equipped.

After escaping from Ukraine, the Lyovochkins and their families live in their own villa in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat near Nice ( France). So, it can be said for sure that Deputy Head of the Opinion Office Kirill Timoshenko has no personal offline contacts with leading Opzists.
Recall that yesterday BP deprived Yulia Lyovochkina, according to her statement, deprived her mandate as a parliamentarian. Which is quite logical, because Lyovochkina and her husband Andriy Vingranovsky (Chairman of the Board of Kyivgas PJSC) fled Ukraine even before the start of the full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation, and since then Yulia Lyovochkina has not returned to Ukraine, has never been to work. Probably, the same fate awaits Sergei Lyovochkin.
The owners of other estates in the Golden Gate do not bother Kirill Timoshenko, in particular:
- gas oligarch Dmitry Firtash, who has been under judicial arrest since 2014 pending extradition to the United States in Vienna (Austria), and who recently met with the head of the Servant of the People parliamentary faction David Arakhamia;
- ex-head of the SBU, ex-minister of economy, former State Customs officer Valery Khoroshkovsky, who has been living in Europe for almost ten years, and in Ukraine he was last mentioned in November 2019 (in the context of his meetings in Kyiv with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Andrey Smirnov , as well as the likely participation of Khoroshkovsky in financing the “black payroll” of the Servant of the People faction in Verkhovna Rada);
- ex-people's deputies from the BYuT and the Party of Regions, ex-co-owners of Brokbiznesbank Alexander and Sergey Buryaki;
- Former Minister of Education and the first head of the presidential administration (Leonid Kuchma) Dmitry Tabachnik, who was suspected of high treason by the SBU on November 22.
Although, perhaps, in the Golden Gates Kyrylo Tymoshenko crosses paths with the people's deputy from the Opposition Platform for Life Nestor Shufrich, who has a house here.
Who planted money on Kirill Tymoshenko?
The deputy head of the OP, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, assures that 230,000 hryvnias per month is quite an acceptable amount for his family. This is probably true, because in 2020 his wife Alena earned almost 6.3 million hryvnias from film and concert activities. In 2022, her income could even grow, because the wife of the Deputy Head of the Office de facto oversees the activities of the Ukrainian House (owned by the State Administration of Affairs), where exhibitions and film screenings are constantly held.
Kyryl Tymoshenko also does not forget to help his wife. So, in 2021, Olena Tymoshenko’s company (Gudmedia LLC) earned millions of hryvnias only at the Ukraine 30 forum, which was organized on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence at the initiative of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In addition, it seems that the family of Kirill and Alena Tymoshenko can earn a lot of money on state orders – through Kinokit LLC, which produces content for the Rada TV channel. Bihus.Info journalist Maxim Opanasenko spoke about this in detail a month ago in the story “Millions for PR of the Office of the President are received by a company associated with Yermak’s deputy.”
The deputy head of the OP does not shy away from humanitarian aid. So, a month ago, Kyrylo Tymoshenko was caught driving a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV, which, among the other 50 vehicles for humanitarian work in the frontline and frontline zones, was donated to Ukraine by the American company General Motors. After a public scandal, Kyrylo Tymoshenko had to promise to return the car to the military.
A no less egregious, but larger-scale situation with humanitarian aid was in Zaporozhye, where, according to KV, little has changed now, despite the criminal case and searches at the leadership of the region.
In April, when the first scandal over the theft of Western humanitarian aid in Zaporozhye erupted, KV wrote: “KV sources in the local authorities say that Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the curator of humanitarian aid from the Office of the President, ordered the local leaders of this direction to sit quietly and not advance. Zlata Nekrasova (deputy head of the Zaporozhye Regional Military Administration, — KV) is closely connected with Kirill Timoshenko through a humanitarian aid, and this, first of all, concerned her.”
In addition, before the start of the full-scale military invasion of Russia, Kirill Timoshenko was the curator of the “Great Construction” from the OP. Before Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, there were many expert opinions about a rollback on the “Great Construction”. But now these stories, as well as with humanitarian aid, should be dealt with by law enforcement agencies and, if necessary, special services.
A transparent hint at a possible bribe from Klitschko's adviser
Mikhail Tkach touched on another an important topic in the context of Kirill Timoshenko's lease of Igor Nikonov's house.
“Tymoshenko is a public curator of the construction sector, and Nikonov's business is in this plane. When asked about a possible conflict of interest, the deputy head of the OP replied that Nikonov was not involved in government projects. A few weeks after our communication, a message appeared on the page of the Nikonov construction company that two residential blocks of KAN Development had joined the eOselya state program – preferential housing mortgages. Thanks to this program, Ukrainians of certain professions can buy apartments on credit for 20 years at a rate of 3%, and developers get the opportunity to sell apartments that, for obvious reasons, have hardly been sold since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion,” the journalist wrote.
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/2b8509ef12ba73c6ed86332461724ab1.png" class="wpg_image" title="Time for Kirill Timoshenko to think about reputation " width="690" height="683" alt=" It's time for Kirill Timoshenko to think about his reputation“The editorial office does not know whether the deputy head of the OP could influence the accession of the company of the owner of the estate in which he lives to the state program of preferential lending. But, it is obvious that all developers are now in a difficult situation and, to one degree or another, need state participation, which means participation of the authorities,” Mikhail Tkach summed up.
There's much to be said and written about Igor Nikonov's connections with various individuals. However, the most interesting part of his biography is that from June 22, 2014 to December 7, 2015, he served as the first deputy chairman of the Kyiv City State Administration under Vitaliy Klitschko, and later became an adviser to the mayor on a voluntary basis, and remained Klitschko's adviser on the strategic development of Kyiv from the beginning of February of this year.
So, the deputy head of the OP rents the residence of the advisor to the mayor of Kyiv, even though their patrons, Vladimir Zelensky and Vitali Klitschko, are not on good terms. A recent unusual inspection of the “points of indestructibility” in Kyiv by David Arakhamia led to a political scandal, revealing various shortcomings in the work of the Ministry of Regional Development, the Cabinet of Ministers, and the Verkhovna Rada. Kirill Timoshenko is overseeing the creation of these “points of indestructibility” from the OP.
Last but not least, during a full-scale war for Ukraine's independence, it is not acceptable for someone close to the President to lead a lavish lifestyle. This:
– frustrates most citizens of Ukraine and tarnishes Vladimir Zelensky's reputation in their eyes, which is unacceptable because he is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief;
– unavoidably raises questions from our Western allies, whose support is critical for our victory over Russia and the post-war establishment of a new Ukraine.
Because if details about the opulence of people close to Zelensky, even without official positions, appear in global publications and on major TV news, it will not help our relationships with civil societies and the power elites of partner countries in any way.
