The data need clarification, but it is interesting that the death of their "minister" was also reported by the propaganda media, although they immediately removed, ”Khlan said. Subsequently, the journalist Andriy Tsaplienko confirmed this information, citing sources both in the occupied and controlled territory of Ukraine. He said that Kovalev died in the occupied city of the Gola Pier and was killed in his own house, and his wife is now in intensive care.

"There are a lot of occupation" police officers "near his house," the journalist said about the late Sunday evening. Tsaplienko also recalled that an attempt was already attempted earlier. On June 22, 2022, the Head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov really confirmed that in the Kherson region a car Alexei Kovalev was blown up, suspected of cooperation with the Russian invaders. “I can confirm that some action has been taken.

The car is exactly blown. In what condition this collaborator and a traitor will be found out now, ”Budanov said at that time. However, on June 30 it became known that Alexei Kovalev survived after the attempt. The invaders were published on social networks a video with him, filmed in the hospital. "I was not intimidated, so I will continue to work with people in my constituency until my authority was completed in 2023," the collaborator said.

He also addressed those whom he called his "enemies": "Do not wait!". However, a little over two months passed, and a new attempt was made on Kovalev - apparently, with a more convincing result. The spokesman of the Odessa Ova Sergey Bratchuk, commenting on the probable murder of Kovalev, also urged to wait for official information and suggested that the firearms were used. Alexei Kovalev was killed in his hometown of the naked pier of Kherson region, where he was born in January 1989.

He received his education in Odessa, graduating in 2011 Odessa Law Academy, majoring in law. The first work in the official biography of Kovalev was the position of legal adviser of the Holopristan geriatric boarding house, but he became better known as a businessman agrarian. In particular, since 2017, the future People's Deputy has been the founder and director of Kherson agrarians LLC, since 2018-the director of the private enterprise LK-Agro.

According to the Bigdata platform, as of 2022, a group of companies of the family of Alexei Kovaleva numbered 26 companies that were part of the group or had to do with it. 46% of the group's legal entities operate in the agricultural market, in particular 12 companies specialize in growing cereals and melons, as well as vegetables in Kherson and Mykolaiv regions.

The roles of beneficiaries, founders and heads of companies of the MP family of the MP, managerial positions held (or did it before) three relatives appearing in the declaration of Kovalev: in 2020, already becoming a deputy, Alexei Kovalev declared income from business in the amount of 2 million 994 thousand 987 UAH. He also stated in the declaration that keeps in cash 4 million UAH and $ 50 thousand, as well as 255 thousand 33 UAH and 51 thousand 346 dollars in bank accounts.

He pointed out that he has two houses in the bare pier, owned by Natalia and Tatiana Kovalevy, and rent an apartment in Kiev. The declaration also listed several land plots in the Kherson region, one of which was issued on Kovaleva himself (arceded by his LK-Agro company), another designed for his mother. In the summer of 2019, 30-year-old Alexei Kovalev was elected People's Deputy of Ukraine.

He entered the Council as a majority from the party of the servant of the people, winning in constituency No. 186 (covers the city of Gola Pier and several districts of Kherson region). According to the investigation of Radio Liberty, the list of candidates-majority of the pro-presidential party Kovalev is due to Elijah Pavlyuk, who is called the "shadow curator" of monoburno.

According to several sources of publication, knowledgeable with the nuances of the 2019 parliamentary election campaign, Pavlyuk was then engaged in the selection of candidates for the servant of the people in Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions. “Kovalev is a mid -level agrarian businessman in Kherson region. Such candidates, of course, were welcomed, so it is clear why he became a majority.

Who exactly suggested Pavlyuk? Probably (and most likely) Vitaliy Buluk - a very famous agrarian in Kherson region, who communicates closely with Pavlyuk, ” - said one of the interlocutors Radio Liberty. The Council Kovalev was part of the Finance, Tax and Customs Policy Committee, heading the excise tax subcommittee and legislative regulation of the alcohol, alcohol and tobacco regulation.

Already in the fall of 2019, Kovalev found himself in the center of one of the first high -profile scandals in the then new Verkhovna Rada. Together with a number of deputies from other parties, he opposed the initiative of his one -party members to eliminate the so -called "Yatsenko sites" - electronic sites that were intermediaries between property experts and the electronic database Sells property in Ukraine.

The services of such intermediaries after investigation of journalists of the project Bihus. info were associated with MP Anton Yatsenko. Then Kovalev not only spoke one of the co -authors of the bill that made it possible to preserve the activities of such "sites", but also made great efforts. "Lesha was the person who walked and offered money to members of the committee so that the topic would not be touched with the sites," said Radio Liberty's interlocutor.

Other sources in conversation with freedom journalists called Kovalev "a risela, who" tried to make money on everything ", for which he received a humorous nickname" Lesha - Free Cash ". Kovalev was not put forward official suspicions or charges in any corruption.

At the end of 2021, Alexey Kovalev attracted the attention of buying media assets: he declared the purchase of Channel 4 (LLC Interradio LLC) for more than UAH 4 million as a "gift from parents" - 50% of the authorized capital of the company "gave" his father and mother. Then Kovalev officially confirmed that he had bought the 4th channel, and stated that his family decided to make him "even better".

Surrounded by Vladimir Zelensky claim that such a step on the part of the people's deputy was a surprise even for Bank. “Even the President was surprised when Kovalev announced the purchase of this channel. He didn't know about it. I was interested in what was happening. That is, it was definitely not. It was not our channel. Most likely, Kovalev thus wanted to insure Medvedchuk-Kozak, ”-said Radio Liberty one of the influential representatives of the authorities, close to Vladimir Zelensky.

When, after a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the Russian army quickly occupied part of the Kherson region, Alexei Kovalev suddenly went to cooperate with the enemy. He did it voluntarily: on April 7, 2022 it became known that Kovalev returned to the occupied territories and intended to stay there.

In a comment to the schemes, the People's Deputy then called himself a "pro -Ukrainian politician" and explained this decision as follows: "My district is here, my business here, I have everything here […] I was voted for me 25,000 citizens, so I consider them to be wrong. […] Also we have a lot of business, which is decorated, of course, not for me, on my relatives and so on. You know, looting began in the first days . . . From shops, warehouses, offices different materials were stolen.

” A few weeks later, on April 8, the parliamentary faction of the party's servant decided to suspend the membership of the collaborator in it. His actions were called "the betrayal of those parties and deputies of all levels that are involved in national resistance today.

" The pro -presidential force also reported that Kovalev had not joined such resistance and did not attend plenary meetings of the Council at that time, and his communication with the Russian military "raised suspicion of state betray Party of the Servant of the People.

Meanwhile, Kovalev fully proved to be an active collaborator on June 8, when he released a post in Russian on Facebook, mentioning his participation in the meeting of Sergei Kiriyenko, the Kremlin curator of the occupied territories, with "Kherson farmers". noted that "Russia is serious and forever", planning "full -scale integration of farmers of Kherson region into the economic model of Russia. " ”, - supported Kovalev's occupiers.

He also approved about the prospects of illegal change of the status Onions of Kherson region because of Russia planned annexation. On July 4, it became known that the Russians included Alexei Kovalev in the occupation "government" of Kherson region. He was headed by his expreigner of the FSB Sergey Yeliseyev, and Kovalev became his "deputy on agriculture".

Against this background, Ukraine and one -party Kovaleva took a number of measures to punish him for bold betrayal: already postfactum, commenting on the treason of Alexei Kovalev, suggested that the people of the people assumed that with him, as well as with the rest . “He consciously remained there and consciously began to probably prompt the soil. Doing under pressure what Kovalev does now do can only be a person torn from context, but not he is.
