Three million for Sviridenko. We disassemble a story with teaching a viceremier in kshe
It could be the story of the Ukrainian Dream. A diligent student from Chernihiv builds a public career, breaks on the top of the government vertical, goes to a private university and – receives millions for their lectures.
At the end of such a motivational novel, the main character should turn to readers and say to everyone: « You see, it is possible! Even in our country! ».
The most interesting thing is that the described script is not really a fiction. It is a literal retelling of the biography of the current first vicereme-minister of the economy. About Yulia Sviridenko’s government takeoff UP wrote detailed text when Yulia Anatoliivna prophesied Premier chair.

But Viceremierk reported about her academic achievements in the framework of this year’s wave Declaration.
It was found that in 2024 in six months of teaching at the Kiev School of Economics (KSS) Sviridenko received Three million one hundred two thousand five hundred six hryvnias.
But, unlike a beautiful novel, instead of inspiring, the readers of the real declaration of Sviridenko in Ukraine were outraged.
Perhaps because the monthly remuneration of the Ministry is at times exceeding the salaries of professors in top state universities. Maybe someone has seen in such big fees an attempt to legalize income …
The evil tongues from the media clip of the fifth president even began to argue that Sviridenko’s payment is a kind of « National Cashbek » from President KSSH Timothy Milovanov for promoting him in the supervisory board of state -owned enterprises. As well as millions of grants from international partners to which the Ministry of Economy purchases analytics and services at the KSSH Institute.
« Ukrainian Truth » is far from such a manner of unreasonable accusations, at least from respect for the high professional level of the analytical unit of the Kiev School of Economics.
Therefore, we came to comment directly to participants in history, sent appropriate requests, analyzed documents and offer readers and the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) to understand everything.
Soon access to materials on « Ukrainian Truth » can be paid.
But we believe that quality content should be accessible to everyone, so we will not impose restrictions on the last. Support us so that we can continue to continue working without restrictions – join the UP club!
Millions
Let’s start with the facts. On March 22, Yulia Sviridenko filed an annual tax Declaration for 2024.
Judging from it, the life of the viceremier in the year has changed much: the same small apartment is owned and larger, rented, in Kiev, the same two apartments in Chernihiv, the same used BMW X3 in use.
The only thing that has changed since 2023 is teaching fees.
If two years ago for their Services Sviridenko received just less than 852 thousand hryvnias, in 2024 the amount of fees increased more than three and a half times-to the mentioned 3.1 million hryvnias.
The logical question is: is it a lot for the teacher? There are no such private universities that would actively teach government officials in Ukraine.
Compared to the state, Sviridenko’s fees will seem outstanding even in comparison with the best Ukrainian universities.
For example, Anatoly Mazarakithe rector of the State Trade and Economic University, which once graduated with the current Minister of Economy, received a year of full employment of « X hour » and fees of 1 million 23 thousand hryvnias.
At the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, which Timothy Milovanov, President Sergei, dreams of buying Flower He received just less than 907 thousand hryvnias a year.
Rector Lukyanenko He had an annual salary of UAH 868 thousand.
That is, all three of them received less than Yulia Sviridenko in 7 months.

The Sviridenko-Bait could give no less the « head start » Sviridenko-Second Man in the Government. The first viceremier received an annual income in the Cabinet more than twice less than teaching fee: 1 million 205 thousand hryvnias.
It is worth saying that even some of the deputy ministers receive more than it. For example, Vitaliy Kindrat had a year of salary nearly 1.6 million, Taras Duck – 1.53 million, games Non -cafeteria – 1.22 million, and first deputy minister Alexei Sobolev – UAH 1.57 million.
By the way, Sobolev He also teaches at the Kiev School of Economics. But if in the government he earns more than Sviridenko, then in the second his income for the 2024 year is twice less-1.5 million hryvnias.
The UE addressed the head of the Ministry of Economy to explain the nature of such high fees.
For maximum correctness, Sviridenko with minimal contractions:
”I teach at the Private Institution « University » Kyiv School of Economics « since 2023 as an invited teacher (Professor of Practice) …
A separate contract is concluded under each of the areas of educational and scientific programs. In my case, it is « public administration », « economy » and « management » (three separate agreements – UP) are indeed listed in the Declaration).
Within these areas, I teach various topics in the courses « Strategic Management », « Economics of post -war reconstruction », « Macroeconomics », « Research Seminar ». The topics of lectures relate to global shocks in the world economy, features of martial law, reconstruction management in Ukraine, etc. The lectures are conducted in the afternoon (late at night or on weekends), so as not to damage my duties at the main place of work in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
In addition to the lecture load, I consult the applicants for writing diploma work, as well as conduct research and prepare materials for improving the curricula. For example, I am involved in preparing a strategic management course, preparing to launch a strategic innovation program. «
That is, if you summarize, Ms. Minister reads lectures on several programs, advises students and prepares a new curriculum for launch. And, importantly, all this in the afternoon. An academic hobby in the face of war, when the Minister of Economy seemed to be unnecessary …
« I am a little bit when I learned how much we pay Yulia Anatoliivna. Well there 100 thousand a month – I understand. But I did not wait for that, » – confesses in conversation with the UP President Kshe Timothy Milovanov.
« But we are a private structure with a budget somewhere in the area of $ 50 million a year. If the leadership of the Viberty decided that we need to pay so much Sviridenko, then it is probably. Although we will now conduct an internal investigation, whether it was a correct decision. equated to the level of Nobel laureates and other super -well -known people ”– explains Milovanov.

The UP asked to provide the said procedure for payments to teachers, and President KSSh gave us it. It is a document called KSE Policy on Faculty Remuneration dated April 20, 2023 signed by the rector of the University of KSSH Timothy Brik.
The following table is important for our history, which defines the amounts of rewards for invited teachers, or Professor of Practice.
Apparently, the current heads of government and business structures are divided into two categories and can receive from 80 to 120 thousand hryvnias a month, if they have tangible intra -Ukrainian experience and recognition, and up to 240 thousand, if they can transfer serious international experience.
That is, the payment of 440 thousand Sviridenko on three parallel contracts did not violate the formal internal procedures of the CSE. Whether it is an effective spending of donor funds, to decide the donors themselves.
It is important for society to find out whether there are such high conflict fees or income legalization attempts.
Government and academic conflict
The topic of conflict of interest in the triangle Sviridenko – Milovanov – KSH has been publicly pedagogical for those whom the non -compliant media would be called « dustbins », and we will say – committed to Petro Poroshenko Former journalists.
Their argumentation is built on several points.
First, it is about the long-standing professional connection of Milovanov and Sviridenko, who was a deputy in the Ministry of Economy.
Secondly, they indicate that the Ministry of Economy allegedly nominated Milovanov in the Supervisory Board of Ukroboronprom, and Sviridenko voted for the appointment of President KSSh to the supervisory of Energoatom.
Milovanov himself rejects a formal conflict of interest in conversation with the UP.
« We all have a very serious divorce. It was even at a time when Poroshenko was appointed to the National Bank’s Supervisory Board, and Gontareva taught in Kshe. And then we made it that I have no legal or actual influence on Ukrainian organizations – university and NGO, I do there is no position too, « – Milovanov convinces.
« That is, maybe politically not, but legally we have a very strong position. Me, even when I went teach to the « servant of the people » in Truskavetsthen NACC tried to pull, but nothing could be presented to us, « – adds President KSH.

The aforementioned work through the NGO « Kyiv School of Economics » with the government is very important. Unlike all other abstract accusations, there are at least specific relationships and money.
Therefore, at the request of the Ministry of Economy of the Ministry of Economy, that the Institute of KSSh, that is, the analytical unit of this structure, is the recipient and executor of the Project of International Technical Assistance (MTD) « Supporting Ukraine in Reconstruction and Restoration », where Sviridenko is the Beneficia.
The request for this grant was submitted by Milovanov before Sviridenko’s appointment, but was sold since 2022, that is, under the cadence of Yulia Anatoliivna.
The amount of MTD project – not much nor almost a million euros.
In addition, a large project of the Cabinet of Ministers together with US partners for $ 150 million began, where the Institute KSSh is one of the performers, and the Ministry of Economy – one of the beneficiaries began with the end of 2023.
As you can see from all of the above, not only friendship is not only friendship between Yulia Sviridenko and Timothy. There is also considerable money between their structures.
Although Milovanov himself complains in a conversation with the UP that working with the government is not only unpleasant after a time of the boorish manner of the behavior of the lower level officials, it is also risky for KSH.
« We did a lot for the government for our money, we were waiting for compensation. And when USAID disappeared, now we have a hole of $ 2 million, which we need to overlap. Despite the fact that people from the government do not pay do not pay, then they also scream at our people, constantly demanding something for tomorrow …
As for the high fees for Sviridenko, which the opponents of Milovanov are treated as « cachbeck » for the received grants and positions, no one will put a point over « and » better than the appropriate organs. If we do not betray the memory, then NACC is neat for such cases and created: to find out whether there is a conflict of interest and whether there is something in addition to the manifestation of honor, an overestimated payment of teaching services of the government member.
