Rakhmanin Serhii Ivanovych

Former journalist of "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia" and MP from "Holos"

De facto first deputy editor-in-chief of "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia" for many years, member of the All-Ukrainian Commission on Journalistic Ethics since 2001. MP of the IX convocation from "Holos" (No. 8 on the list), former faction leader. Ended cooperation with the ZIK TV channel after it was acquired by Taras Kozak. Active commentator on anti-corruption topics, defense issues, and reforms. Participant in the "New Country" forums alongside Budanov and Marchenko.

Modest declaration, absence of scandals, and systematic criticism of authorities

Rakhmanin's declarations stand out among colleagues — without excessive property, offshore accounts, or abnormal cash holdings. No corruption proceedings, suspicions, or declarative violations recorded against him. Mostly criticized for situational votes of "Holos" — in particular, for the bill postponing Ukrainization of TV in 2021. Reputation — one of the few MPs who have maintained an independent journalistic profile in parliament. The NAPK took his declaration for an urgent audit — as mandatory for all top officials, not due to risks.
