Achievements
1. As a Director of the Department of International Affairs of Kiev regional branch of the
Association of Ukrainian cities from October 2009 till October 2011 I organized several
business trips of mayors and regional deputies to cities and administrations of other
countries. One of such trips was to Italy, Region Marche. As a result of such trips we
have twinning contracts between cities achieved, which included cooperation not only
in cultural and educational spheres but also in economic and entrepreneur spheres. It
was really a big result because it gave many results in ongoing life and work of Ukrainian
cities. Many of them until now cooperate and work together. I think it was my great
work because what I had organized still lives and works now.
2. Being a Director of Kiev company “Easyfood” from April 2013 till September 2014 I
created this companies, wrote a site for this company, found suppliers, took personnel,
opened bank accounts for this company, found a good office, organized financing for
Easyfood and did many small things. I could say that I created a child. In this situation I
got a very good experience in opening and management of a new company, which still
exists and works.
3. In NGO Euroleader I made weekly a Newsletter on the recent situation in the East of
Ukraine and the Crimea, on human rights in today Ukraine. I prepared and composed 50
editions of this Newsletter in Ukrainian and English languages. This Newsletter war one
of the best in Ukraine and now NGO Euroleader got a grant from one Swedish
foundation for a further developing of this activity. It means I gave a push for such a
good and useful initiative, which will be developed further.
