Tetyana Pollak — the wife of the scandal-plagued former head of the bankrupt Union Standard Bank, Friedrich Pollak — is building a travel business in London.
While Ukrainian entrepreneurs are surviving under pressure from inspections and war, some business figures are comfortably arranging their lives across multiple countries, leaving behind debts, extensive networks of firms, and legal disputes in Ukraine.
A striking example is the family of fraudster Friedrich Pollak and his wife Tetyana Pollak (Medvedeva).
Tetyana is a co-founder of the well-known online tour search and purchase service Farvater Travel, and more recently she also presents herself as a psychotherapist for business leaders.
According to registration documents and banking data, she is closely connected to the Zakarpattia region, where she is registered as an individual entrepreneur since 2006 at an address in Uzhhorod on Zaliznychna Street, 4/22, apartment 210. In addition, Tetyana Pollak is the founder, director, and ultimate beneficiary of a number of companies:
✔️LLC "FARVATER GROUP LTD" (EDRPOU code 34489623),
✔️LLC "FARVATER TRAVEL GROUP LTD" (code 37692428),
✔️LLC "FARVATER TRAVEL" (code 38889745),
✔️LLC "AGENCY FARVATER" (code 43010656)
✔️NGO "GENDER RESOURCE CENTER" (code 33614372).
The real life of this businesswoman long ago moved beyond Zakarpattia registries.
Tetyana, together with her family (daughter Frida and son David), now lives in London, and she spent September 2026 on an upscale vacation in the Athenian suburb of Voula.
In March of this year, the Uzhhorod court opened proceedings No. 308/3451/26 on a lawsuit filed by her husband Friedrich Pollak. The case concerned divorce, division of joint property, child custody, and determination of alimony.
However, five days later the plaintiff’s representative suddenly withdrew the suit, and the court returned the application.
Behind these family twists lies a large financial infrastructure: Tetyana Pollak has dozens of accounts opened in leading banks, including JSC "Alfa-Bank", JSC "Pravex Bank", JSC "Ukrsibbank", JSC "Universal Bank", JSC CB "PrivatBank" and PJSC "Union Standard Bank", and she also has a registered apartment in Uzhhorod on Hrushevskoho Street, 39.
Friedrich Pollak himself is connected to the fraudulent Money24 network and the bankruptcy of Union Standart Bank.
