The declaration for 2015 states that he received 549 thousand UAH, of which the salary was 73.4 thousand UAH (6.1 thousand/month), and his wife Olesya received 324.6 thousand for the year. The document states, that she is engaged in business activities. As in the declarations of previous years, Gerashchenko has two apartments of modest size and a 2013 Honda Crosstour appeared.
Litigation:
December 12, 2016 TV journalist, author of the program “Nadzvichyny Novyny”. The reason for the lawsuit is that the politician disseminated false information that discredited the journalist’s business reputation. On the air of the program “Shuster. Live" Avakov’s adviser called Stogniy the former press secretary of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Zakharchenko, which is not reality.
Compromising evidence and rumors:
On May 14, 2016, TV presenter Savik Shuster criticized MP from the Popular Front faction Anton Gerashchenko in connection with the publication of the journalists’ data by the Myrotvorets website. "This site accused journalists of collaborating with militants," Shuster said. He also noted that Gerashchenko is directly related to “Peacemaker”. “It’s a crime to publish a list of 4 thousand journalists, give their phone numbers, addresses,” Shuster said. The journalist said that he worked in hot spots for 7 years and covered about 15 military conflicts. “If you had ever had anything to do with me, I would have been dead a long time ago, because you would have given my information,” Shuster said.
On April 25, 2016, it became known that the most odious people's deputy of the Ukrainian parliament, Anton Gerashchenko, is quite rich. If you believe the investigation of some media, then the ex-adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov receives an annual income of 12 million hryvnia. However, Gerashchenko’s declaration appeared on the website of the Verkhovna Rada, according to which in 2015 he received 549 thousand UAH, of which the salary was 73.4 thousand UAH (6.1 thousand/month), and his wife Olesya received 324.6 for the year thousand. The document indicates that she is engaged in entrepreneurial activities. As in the declarations of previous years, Gerashchenko has two apartments of modest size and a Honda Crosstour of 2013 appeared. The publication “Strana” published incriminating evidence on the so-called fighter against corruption, separatism and everything Russian. Thus, referring to Gerashchenko’s ex-business partner, who wished to remain anonymous, details of the people’s deputy’s shadow schemes were announced. As it turned out, the politician began making money in the early 2000s, working in the Kharkov city council. “Then he met Alexander Sergeevich Bondar. Together they began to help interested people in allocating land plots. Then they “knocked out” the land for their enterprises. One plot was exchanged for an apartment in Kharkov, where an office was set up. It was registered to Alina Didenko, Bondar’s wife, although there was a sign on the door that this was the office of lawyer Marina Matsegora (a close friend, attorney for personal affairs, and official assistant to parliamentarian Gerashchenko, which is listed on the Verkhovna Rada website). These people form the main core of Anton Yuryevich’s business schemes,” the source said.
On April 16, 2015, it became known that the shot ex-deputy from the Party of Regions Oleg Kalashnikov, on the eve of the murder, sent letters to his friends, where he reported that he was receiving threats after personal data, including his home address, were published on the website “Peacemaker” - this is a “database on separatists”, initiated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Anton Gerashchenko. The resource “Peacemaker”, without a court decision, puts on public display the personal data of Ukrainian citizens whom the resource’s authors consider “separatists” or “agents of the Kremlin.”
In April 2015, it became known that Gerashchenko had significantly improved his financial situation by becoming an adviser to Avakov. In 2014, Verkhovna Rada deputy ("People's Front"), adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs Anton Gerashchenko received 120.6 thousand hryvnia in income, which is 12 times more than in 2013. This is stated in the deputy’s income statement published on the parliament website. In 2014, the deputy got a wife, who received 15 thousand hryvnia in financial assistance and 78.7 thousand hryvnia in alimony in a year. At the same time, any children, including those living together with Anton Gerashchenko and his wife, are not included in the declaration.
On March 23, 2015, the Ministry of Internal Affairs admitted to the murder of the coordinator of the Right Sector in western Ukraine, Alexander Muzychko, better known as Sashka Bely. After the death of Muzychko in Rivne on the night of March 25, 2014, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the prosecutor’s office reported that the Right Sector activist shot himself, accidentally. However, the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Anton Gerashchenko, said the day before that Sashko Bely was killed by one of the police officers, Vesti writes. “According to the conclusions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs commission, it was legal action police officer in the current situation,” Gerashchenko said, commenting on the situation with the ensuing fight between Muzychko and the law enforcement officer. This information Right Sector has not yet commented and is still waiting for results from the temporary investigative commission of the Verkhovna Rada on the death of Muzychko, which was supposed to conduct 37 examinations to draw up a final conclusion on the case of the murdered man.
Another partner of Gerashchenko is Vladimir Grechukha, who worked as a development manager for the ATB company. It is noted that he is a non-public person, but he is a wealthy character. “Gerashchenko and Bondar traveled around Ukraine and, following a tip from Grechukha, found the land plots and real estate needed for ATB, and then it was a matter of technology and experience. They bought it for their relatives and resold it or rented it out to the ATB office. They started in Krasnograd, where Gerashchenko was working in the district administration. For example, their last property in the city of Kanev was purchased for $110 thousand and sold for $1.1 million at the end of 2013. If my memory serves me right, they capitalized 25 real estate properties,” says Gerashchenko’s ex-partner. As the informant emphasized, Bondar and Gerashchenko are still working in the Kiev and Odessa regions.
As a result of journalistic investigations, it became known that at one time Gennady Kernes actively financed the youth association “New Kharkov - New Opportunities”. Many analysts believed that in this way Gennady Adolfovich prepared for himself loyal officials and politicians, so that he could later place them in important positions not only in the city of Kharkov, but also in Kyiv. It should be noted that at a certain period of time Gerashchenko was one of the key leaders of the Kharkov youth association. So in 2002, it was he who organized and held a rally on Freedom Square, in which about 3,000 people took part; the main demand of those gathered was to impose a ban on the construction of a McDonald's restaurant near the University metro station.
Anton Gerashchenko is a spontaneous personality and known to everyone in Ukraine. His comments on certain events were always distinguished by their efficiency and dubious reliability. People's Deputy and freelance adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov ( Read more about it in the article) has repeatedly become the object of various kinds of jokes and even attacks from Russian pranksters.
Recently, an assassination attempt was allegedly being prepared on him, so SKELET-info became interested in how valuable this character is both for the police and the country as a whole.
Brave realtor
Like his patron, Anton Yurievich Gerashchenko arrived in Kyiv from Kharkov, where he was born in 1979. Having received an economic education at the local KhNEU in 2000, he also managed to work at Kharkovoblenergo during this period.
Already in 2002, he managed to obtain a mandate as a deputy of the Kharkov City Council and it was from this period, according to various sources, that he began to earn serious money. His appointment in 2005 as head of the Krasnograd regional administration only strengthened this process.
Thus, in the materials of one of their journalistic investigations it was indicated that Gerashchenko, together with his partner, was involved in the allocation of land plots, registered them in the name of front men, and later sold or leased them to commercial structures. Even last year, income from the rental of more than 20 real estate properties brought Gerashchenko and his partners more than 1 million hryvnia monthly. Moreover, part of the property is located on the territory of the LDPR (!).
This is in stark contrast to what was stated in his 2015 declaration. For example, of the real estate objects, only three apartments in Kyiv and Kharkov of modest size are mentioned there.
Money doesn't smell
In domestic media, the Avakov-Gerashchenko duo also appears in possible involvement in smuggling.
This is due to the fact that the final recipient of profits from the schemes implemented by one of the significant suppliers of coal from the uncontrolled territory, Roman Maglevanny, is.
In turn, Kropachev began collaborating with Avakov and Gerashchenko in 2014 and, according to some sources, was the initiator of the creation of one Shakhtersk battalion, which later gained notoriety, incl. called "Tornado".
"Crust" per word
There is a well-known expression: “The loudest cry of “Stop the thief” is the thief himself.” This is quite applicable to the hero of our publication, because Gerashchenko himself accused everyone of smuggling: the SBU, the prosecutor’s office. The WOG company, which allegedly smuggled diesel fuel from the occupied Crimea, also got it from him. Maybe these facts really took place, but there was no comprehensive evidence from the prosecutor.
This looks quite natural, since for a long time the Avakov-Gerashchenko duo has been operating according to a proven pattern: some event occurs and it is quickly followed by a bold comment from Gerashchenko on behalf of the police. Moreover, in case of misinformation, he does not bear any responsibility for what was said, since he has parliamentary immunity.
By the way, in the situation with Pashinsky, Avakov’s adviser also made another nonsense out of his mouth. According to him, the random passerby on the road who was shot by the people's deputy has connections and enjoys significant support from Russia.
According to this logic, any unarmed man with whom, in a deranged state, someone from the current government wants to sort things out with a pistol, is a potential agent of the Kremlin.
By the way, the wounded man had to make do with his own funds to pay the expenses for the operation. Pashinsky's help was limited to 900 hryvnia.
However, the story with the alleged mercenaries of the Russian special services who were preparing an assassination attempt on Gerashchenko himself was especially funny. The whole country was shown a video, as well as negotiations between two people who, by outward appearances, were drug addicts.
The neighboring country probably did not have the opportunity to train more professional saboteurs.
Most likely, such performances are shown to the population for PR of the Popular Front and as an extra reminder: the under-reformed police still have at least some results of their work.
Although, if we assume that the Avakov-Gerashchenko duo “skim the cream” from smuggling and are not interested in returning uncontrolled regions to Ukraine, then the mantra “Traces lead to the Kremlin” will be used at every opportunity. After all, this kind of business can only continue to grow.

Scandals
Stogny filed a lawsuit against A. Gerashchenko
Konstantin Stogniy, a well-known television journalist, on December 12, 2016, filed a lawsuit against Anton Gerashchenko in the case of protection of honor and dignity. K. Stogniy stated that Gerashchenko knowingly told the media false information about the past of the journalist, who resigned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the end of 2010 and could not be the press secretary of Minister Vitaly Zakharchenko, who took office in November 2011: “Gerashchenko went on TV channels and spread deliberate lies that “Stogny was the press secretary of Minister Alexander Zakharchenko." Firstly, I don’t understand who “Alexander Zakharchenko” is. Apparently, Gerashchenko had in mind the Minister of Internal Affairs in 2014, Vitaly Zakharchenko. The fact is that I resigned from the internal affairs bodies long before the Maidan and was not familiar with Minister Zakharchenko. These things are obvious and easy to check.”
Defended Goluban, insulted Lutsenko
In 2017, Anton Gerashchenko came out in support of the commander of the third assault company of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yuriy Goluban, who was accused of fighting on the side of the Donetsk People’s Republic in 2014. Photos appeared on the Internet with a man very similar to Goluban, surrounded by Donetsk militias. Gerashchenko criticized people's deputy Igor Lutsenko for citing the ex-commander of the Alpha special forces unit and DPR military-political figure Alexander Khodakovsky, who confirmed that in May 2014 Goluban, his former subordinate in Alpha, was in the militia with him. .
It’s strange that Igor Lutsenko didn’t think to ask Givi and Motorola for their opinions before reposting Khodakovsky. It seems that Russians can always count on gullible elected representatives who post the lies of Russian propaganda.
Gerashchenko noted that Goluban retired from Donetsk “Alpha” back in 2009 and that with the beginning of the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, he volunteered for the “Kyiv-1” battalion.
Voting in the Rada with someone else's card
In March 2017, it was established that people's deputies voted with Anton Gerashchenko's card at a time when Gerashchenko himself was officially absent not only from the Verkhovna Rada meeting room, but also from Ukraine, since he was on a business trip in Austria. Radio Liberty journalists found out that Anton Gerashchenko’s card was used by his faction colleague Taras Kremen.
Statements
March 20, 2018
Anton Gerashchenko on his Facebook page:
- Nadezhda Savchenko needs to undergo a compulsory psychiatric examination for adequacy.
I came to this conclusion after carefully reading the proposal to bring to criminal responsibility and detain the still people’s deputy Nadezhda Savchenko.
Based on the results of studying the documents, I decided to vote for lifting her parliamentary immunity and will not vote for her detention and arrest. This is my personal position. I’ll explain why: firstly, I don’t want to create an image of a victim for her. For me, she is not a victim, but a perpetrator. And secondly, I think it is right that Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko, instead of submitting for the arrest of Nadezhda Savchenko, submitted documents for the consent of the Verkhovna Rada for her forced examination in a mental hospital.
