Polishchuk Viktor Stepanovych

Oligarch of the “Yanukovych family,” owner of "Gulliver" and "Eldorado," relative of the Medvedevs

A businessman from the Forbes-100 list. Owns the household appliances chain “Technopolis”/“Eldorado,” the tallest shopping and entertainment center in Kyiv “Gulliver,” and RLC warehouses; formerly owned the bank “Mykhailivskyi.”

Connections with the Russian Federation and “Rodina” party

According to media reports, his wife Liliya Rezva is the niece of Svitlana Medvedeva, wife of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Polishchuk is unofficially called the “wallet” of the regionalist Oleksandr Klymenko and is considered part of the “Yanukovych family” (friendly relations with Oleksandr Yanukovych; press secretary — the notorious Olena Berezovska). In 2014, he bought the “Leninska Kuznia” from Poroshenko, and in 2015 — the bank that belonged to Oleksandr Yanukovych.

Schemes and proceedings

“Schemes” connected him with the seizure of about 95 hectares of state land of the Radio Transmission Center in Brovary (the SBU case was closed). The “Mykhailivskyi” bank went bankrupt — the court recovered 870 million UAH from him and top managers. In 2022, the State Bureau of Investigation intercepted his Rolls-Royce cars departing with forged documents.
