Serhiy Lyovochkin
Serhiy Lyovochkin (sometimes as Levochkin) is a Ukrainian politician, former head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine for Viktor Yanukovych.[1]
In the 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election Lyovochkin was elected into the Ukrainian parliament for Party of Regions.[2] In the 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election he had failed to do so for Lytvyn Bloc (Lytvyn Bloc had won no seats).[2]
In 2014 after the revolutionary events of Euromaidan, he created new party in place of the Progressive Democratic Party, the Party of Development of Ukraine which has the same abbreviation in the Ukrainian language as the Party of Regions of Ukraine.
Lyovochkin stated in October 2014 that Crimea was annexed by Russia in March 2014 because Russian President Vladimir "Putin was betrayed by our irresponsible leaders too many times, until he stopped taking Ukraine seriously".[3]
In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election Lyovochkin was re-elected into parliament placed 12th on the electoral list of Opposition Bloc.[4][5] On 15 September 2014 his Party of Development of Ukraine had united into Opposition Bloc for the election.[6]
