Former “radical,” ex-deputy of the Chernihiv Regional Council from the Radical Party and owner of the Pozhmashyna factory in Pryluky, Oleh Averyanov, posted a video address in which he denied the SBU’s claim that he was preparing an assassination attempt on a civic activist.
Businessman Oleh Averyanov, who previously served as deputy head of the State Emergency Service (SES) in Chernihiv region, said he did not flee anywhere, categorically rejected all allegations of assassination attempts, and called the announced suspicions a staged pressure by law enforcement and the media aimed at carrying out a raider takeover of his enterprise.
Oleh Averyanov is close to People’s Deputy from Batkivshchyna Valeriy Dubil and is co-owner with him of the capital’s Troieshchyna market. Averyanov was also allied with Oleh Lyashko, who during his time as a People’s Deputy for several years blackmailed the passage of the state budget with votes from his faction, demanding that multi-million state contracts be allocated to Averyanov’s Pozhmashyna factory.
In the autumn of 2024, the Chernihiv Court of Appeal found Averyanov guilty of illegally taking possession of the elite Porsche Cayenne of his ex-wife after their divorce, sentencing him to 7 years of imprisonment and 1,5 million UAH in compensation.
In December 2024, the former Averyanov told Suspilne in a comment that he had left and was in Europe, promising not to return home to serve what he claimed was a fabricated sentence while the cassation review was ongoing. But at that time he eventually managed to close the case.
