Nataliya Mykhailivna Vitrenko (Ukrainian:Натáлія Михáйлівна Вітрéнко; born December 28, 1951) is a pro-Russian[2][3][4][5][6] Ukrainian politician and scientist, who served as the Member of the Verkhovna Rada from 1995 to 2002.[7]
Since 2014, Nataliya Vitrenko has been living in Moscow. She blames the West and Ukraine for charging ofRusso-Ukrainian War.
On October 2, 1999, Vitrenko was attacked and wounded following a campaign rally when two unknown assailants threw two hand grenades at a crowd gathered outside one of her campaign events.[8]
Natalia Vitrenko was again nominated by the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine as candidate for the2010 Ukrainian presidential election[9] but the CECoU (Central Election Commission of Ukraine) refused to register her for failure to pay the required 2.5 millionhryvnya nomination deposit. Vitrenko did not agree with the refusal, submitted a complaint to the judge and before his very eyes tore down the Ukrainian constitution as a protest. On November 11, 2009, Vitrenko said: "Ukraine is condemned either to collapse, or to make a revolution. To Ukrainian government, Constitution of Ukraine is nothing but toilet paper."
Vitrenko's 1999 campaign was characterized byThe Ukrainian Weekly as "fierce populism, nostalgia for the Soviet era, and strong anti-Western sentiments".[10]
Andrew Madison, writing inVremya Novostei, said that Vitrenko's ideological foundations were partially American in origin, because along with the Marxism she was also influenced by the ideas ofLyndon LaRouche.[11] On her political website, Vitrenko says that she has very similar views to LaRouche on the sinister role of theInternational Monetary Fund and the dollarization of speculative capital, which she says has become a threat to humanity. She attended a conference in 1995 in Germany, organized by Lyndon LaRouche and Helga Zepp-LaRouche, which passed a "Memorandum of humanity" drafted by Vitrenko.[12]
