StopKor is preparing a continuation of the investigation into Deputy Kyianovsky and collecting information from those affected by possible land schemes in Chernihiv region.
Official or agrarian magnate? Deputy of the Chernihiv Regional Council and head of the regional council's land committee, Viktor Kyianovsky, simultaneously controls a large agricultural business, and his enterprises and relatives appear in registries of thousands of land plots, court rulings, and public procurement.
This is stated in the journalistic investigation by Anastasia Vasilenko for the online media Stop Corruption TV and in StopKor material.
Kyianovsky has been in local politics since 2010 year. In the previous convocation he chaired the specialized land committee of the regional council and remains its head today. At the same time, according to registries, his wife Olha Kyianovska owns more than 340 real estate objects, of which more than 300 are land plots. LLC "Ichnianske", which is led by the deputy himself, manages more than 4,6 thousand plots — this refers specifically to the number of individual land deeds, not hectares.
The mayor of Ichnia, Olena Buturlim, told journalists that the deputy repeatedly files requests for land use, and according to her, he did not provide any help to the community. LLC "Ichnianske" has already featured in a case regarding possible illegal occupancy of municipal land: as the court ruling shows, investigators found fields sown near leased plots of the enterprise and requested seizure of the harvest.
The most high-profile episode is a criminal case of fraud for 21 million dollars within the project "Grain Trading". According to the investigation, in favor of the group "Rostok-Holding", 30% which, according to journalists, belonged to Kyianovsky, more than 21,2 million dollars were directed. In 2018 year the court seized the holding's corporate rights.
Journalists also established that the company connected with the deputy, "Ichnian Milk and Butter Plant", exported products to Russia in 2015 year, and after the war began in the east, the POSP "Ichnianske" purchased cars of the Lada brand. Among the historical co-founders of Kyianovsky's companies is Serhiy Rybachok, who in 2022 year received a suspicion from the Security Service of Ukraine for collaboration activities.
Separately, family-linked contracts. The enterprise connected with the deputy's son-in-law, Serhiy Yasenivka's company "Ichnian Concrete", according to journalists, won 15 tenders worth almost 9 million UAH, including for customers in the forestry sector.
Note that during filming at the deputy's enterprise, security obstructed the work of the crew, and later the journalists were stopped by police twice. Viktor Kyianovsky did not answer a phone call, so questions were sent to him in writing. The editorial board is ready to publish the deputy's position and the positions of others mentioned in the material.
We are continuing the investigation. StopKor calls on anyone who may be a victim of land schemes and who was allegedly deceived by people from Kyianovsky's circle—the landowners, landlords, residents of communities—to contact the editors via social networks or StopKor's chat bot. We guarantee confidentiality!
