Dobrodomov Dmytro Yevhenovych

"Anti-corruption" independent MP

Dmytro Dobrodomov is one of the numerous Ukrainian "independent anti-corruption activists" whose public rhetoric significantly exceeds their actual achievements. Since November 27, 2014 — MP of the VIII convocation, independent. Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Prevention and Counteraction to Corruption. Leader of the public movement "People's Control." A person who positions himself as a fighter against corruption.

Teaching during the mandate

Dobrodomov was caught combining his parliamentary mandate with teaching activities — which falls under restrictions for MPs. In response, the MP stated that teaching activities are not subject to this prohibition and insisted that he did not hide this information and included the income in his declaration.

Saakashvili, rallies and opposition populism

In the fall of 2017, Dobrodomov together with other deputies met Saakashvili at the Polish border when he tried to break into Ukraine. After that, he repeatedly took part in actions defending the controversial politician and organized a rally under the Verkhovna Rada at his call.

The president who was not elected, coalition with Hrytsenko

In 2019, he ran for president from "People's Control" and for the Parliament from Hrytsenko's "Civic Position" party at number 2 on the list — unsuccessfully in both cases. A person who runs second on the list of another candidate's party while simultaneously running for president from his own party is a rather telling picture of a modest populist project.
