Kriachko Mykhailo Valeriiovych

"New face" from "Servant of the People"

Mykhailo Valeriyovych Kryachko (born May 24, 1980, Zaporizhzhia) — People's Deputy of the IX convocation from "Servant of the People" (No. 61 on the list), Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Digital Transformation.

From "Strong Ukraine" to the "Ze-Team"

From 2010 to 2013 he headed the Zaporizhzhia regional faction. In 2015, he was the head of the Novomykolaivka district party organization of "Strong Ukraine" — a party close to the Party of Regions. Such a past casts doubt on the image of a "new face" in politics that "Servant of the People" promoted.

SMM director of the presidential campaign

Operating director of the company SMMSTUDIO, whose owner Mykhailo Fedorov was responsible for promoting Zelensky in social networks during the 2019 presidential campaign. Kryachko was Zelensky's trusted representative in Zaporizhzhia, representing the "Ze!" team in the region. SMMSTUDIO managed the president’s advertising campaign in social networks. That is, the person who received a parliamentary mandate and the head of the profile IT committee directly profited from the digital campaign of his patron.

Declaration and 47 unfulfilled promises

Declared two apartments, an unfinished construction in Zaporizhzhia, a Mitsubishi, and 450 thousand UAH in cash assets. In the first year, he made 47 promises to voters — none were fulfilled as of the time of verification.
