Nominal Owner of Media Assets of Sanctioned Oligarch Kurchenko

Positions himself as a candidate of sciences, businessman, journalist, and philanthropist. In 2014–2015, he worked as Deputy General Director for Economics at UMH Group — a media holding acquired in 2013 by oligarch Serhii Kurchenko for approximately 340 million USD. Thus, Goldskyi is a person from Kurchenko's immediate circle. After Kurchenko fled to Russia and UMH was transferred to the management of ARMA, in 2018 Goldskyi acquired ownership rights to Comments.UA media — a key asset of Kurchenko, where he himself worked. He is currently the beneficiary and founder of Comments Today LLC and the owner of the comments.ua domain.

Family Scheme Controlling Kurchenko's Media Empire and Questionable Real Estate Deals

The entire family is involved in the scheme: wife Olha Khoroshaieva is the owner of VD Masavi LLC and To Sho Nado LLC; her stepfather Yevhen Nazarenko is the formal owner of Evolution Media LLC (acquired through the Cypriot Sherell Limited, which previously registered Kurchenko's assets); her mother Nina Khoroshaieva is a current official of Brovary City Council (head of the Health Department), whose declaration includes a share in Evolution Media and the trademark "Kyiv Weekly." According to investigative journalists, all these assets are effectively under Goldskyi's unified control and maintain ties with sanctioned Kurchenko. Additionally, according to the register of property rights, Goldskyi is associated with nine apartments in Kyiv, the acquisition of which, according to insider data, may involve real estate schemes — in particular transactions involving a single notary.
