Head of Zmiiv District State Administration
Vitaliy Anatoliyovych Koshelenko — head of Zmiiv District State Administration (since 2015), deputy of the Kharkiv Regional Council, deputy chair of the commission on human rights, freedom of speech and information.
Police, motor transport, and a surprising appointment
Worked for several years as a driver and carpenter. From 1992 — three years in the police. Then — manager at LLC "Business and Cultural Center", director of "Zmiiv Auto Transport Enterprise-16343", executive director of "Autotrans-2005". In 2015, unexpectedly for many, appointed head of Zmiiv District State Administration. A classic "leap" without obvious qualifications from transport management straight to district leadership.
Reserve land — to relatives and cleaners
Deputy Yevhen Murayev established that Koshelenko privatized land within the territory of the National Park "Homilshanski Forests", the boundaries of which are not legalized. The plots were obtained by relatives of Koshelenko's wife — the Mezheritsky family, friends — the Nemchenko family, and even cleaners in Koshelenko's house from the Kaltakhchyan clan. The scheme is classic: the protected land is de jure "free", and the circle of recipients is exclusively the official's close clan.
Cash exceeding 2.9 million and income mismatch
According to the declaration, the total cash of the declarant and family members amounts to 2,973,428 UAH. The NACP system records that the amount of cash assets exceeds declared income by more than 10 times. The head of the district administration with a career in motor transport — and nearly 3 million in cash.
