[edit] Early life

Arseniy Petrovych Yatsenyuk was born on May 22, 1974 in Chernivtsi to Jewish-Ukrainian parents[5] in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (modern-day Ukraine). After he began studying at the Chernivtsi University in 1992, Yatsenyuk set up a student law firm.[4] He graduated from the university in 1996, and later attended the Chernivtsi Trade-Economics Institute of the Kiev National Trade-Economics Institute in 2001.[6]

From December 1992 to September 1997 he was the president of "Yurek Ltd." law firm, based in Chernivtsi.[6] From January 1998 until September 2001, Yatsenyuk worked in the postal and pension "Aval" bank, based in Kiev.[6]

[edit] Political career

From September until November 2001, Arseniy served as an "acting" Minister of Economy of Crimea, and from November of the same year until January 2003, served as the official Minister of Economy of Crimea.[6]

From November 2003 to February 2005, Yatsenyuk served as the first vice-president of the head of the National Bank of Ukraine under Serhiy Tyhypko.[4] After Tyhypko left the National Bank, Arseniy Yatsenyuk was put in charge of the National Bank.[4]

After Vasyl Tsushko was appointed as the new Governor of Odessa Oblast, Tsushko asked Yatsenyuk to serve as his vice-governor, which he served from March 9 to September 2005.[4][6] From September 27, 2005 to August 4, 2006, he served as the Minister of Economy of Ukraine in the Yuriy Yekhanurov-led government.[4][7] Arseniy Yatsenyuk then headed talks about Ukrainian membership in the World Trade Organization. Yatsenyuk also heads the Ukraine-European Union commission.

From September 20, 2006, he served as the first vice-president of the Head of Government of the President of Ukraine, and the representative of the president in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.[8]

Arseniy Yatsenyuk was proposed for the post of Foreign Minister by the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko. Yatsenyuk was chosen for the post by the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) on March 21, 2007[9] with 426 votes (from 450 maximum),[10] but only after the Ukrainian parliament twice denied the post to Volodymyr Ohryzko.

[edit] Speaker of the Parliament

In the early parliamentary elections held on September 30, 2007, Yatsenyuk was elected to the parliament from Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc (number 3 in the bloc's member list). On December 3, 2007, he was nominated for the position of the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada from the democratic coalition formed from the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc and Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc.[11] On December 4, 2007, Yatsenyuk was elected the Chairman of the Parliament.[12] His candidacy was the only in the ballot, and he obtained 227 votes in favor (from the democratic coalition; opposition abstained from the voting).[13]

During the Ukrainian political crises of September 2008 Yatsenyuk offered his resignation on September 17, 2008. A vote on his dismissal on November 11, 2008, was declared invalid by the counting commission of the Parliament[14][15] (the vote was proposed by opposition party Party of Regions).[16]

On November 12, a total of 233 of 226 required deputies satisfied the resignation statement of Yatsenyuk and thus dismissed him from his post of Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada.[1][17] The voting was carried out through the parliaments voting system and not by means of secret ballots, as stipulated by the parliamentary regulations.[18] After his dismissal Yatsenyuk told journalists that he will form a new political force "for change in the country."[19][20]

On November 21, 2008 Arseniy Yatsenyuk was also dismissed by President Viktor Yushchenko from the National Security and Defense Council.[21]

[edit] Post-Speaker career

On December 16, 2008, Yatsenyuk announced plans to create a political party on basis of the Front of Changes public initiative.[22] In an interview with Den of February 4, 2009 he claimed to have no allies among the current politicians.[23] According to polls held in the last months of 2008 a political party lead by Arseniy Yatsenyuk would pass the 3 percent election threshold in the next Ukrainian parliamentary election.[24][25][26]

On April 5, 2009, Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced his candidacy for President of Ukraine in the next presidential election.[27] Political analyst Taras Kuzio claimed Yatsenyuk's Jewish origins could hurt his chance of being elected.[28]
