The main anti-corruption "megaphone" of the Rada — the one who leaks half of the cases from this selection

Born in 1989 in Mariupol, economist, former advisor to Prime Minister Groysman, lecturer at the Kyiv School of Economics. MP from "Holos" (2019), first deputy chair of the Tax Committee and chair of the Temporary Special Commission on economic security. But he is best known as a top MP-blogger: his Telegram is the first to publish details on "Midas", "Forrest Gump", votes, and suspicions. There are no sanctions, suspicions, or verdicts against him — he is on the other side of the barricades.

And yet a couple of uncomfortable questions remain for the "whistleblower"

The first is familial: mother Irina and sister Olga, according to several media outlets, live in occupied Donetsk and have business interests there, which the MP himself does not like to comment on. For a person who made a name for himself on transparency, this is a sensitive spot. The second is his vote in favor of the scandalous urban planning reform No. 5655 (2022), which was criticized as a gift to developers at the cost of community influence on reconstruction. Plus a smaller point: publicly, Zheleznyak communicated in Russian for a long time. A whistleblower who himself is not without questions.
