biography

Yarosh graduated from secondary school in his hometown of Dniprodzerzhynsk, and from 1989 to 1991 he did military service in the Soviet army . He later completed a degree in philology at the University of Drohobych .

Euromaidan protests

As part of the Euromaidan protests at the end of November 2013, several right-wing extremist or radical-nationalist groups came together to form the informal, paramilitary and violent group “Prawyj Sector” (Right Sector). Yarosh was one of the leading figures in the group and was referred to by various media as the “leader” or “chairman” of the “right-wing sector”. At the Maidan he appeared several times as a speaker and on February 21, 2014 proclaimed the continuation of the “national revolution” in Ukraine. Although Yarosch was offered various positions in the formation of the government, he was not a member of the newly formed Ukrainian government at the end of February 2014.

War in Ukraine

The Russian public prosecutor's office has been investigating Jarosch since March 3, 2014 because of an alleged appeal by Yarosch to the Chechen terrorist leader Doku Umarow in support of Ukraine to “activate the fight against Russia”. A spokesman for Yarosch had told Radio Liberty that the alleged call was part of a dirt campaign that the website had been hacked . On March 5, 2014, the Russian authorities wrote Yarosch for "incitement to terrorism" to be searched internationally. On March 11, 2014 , Valery Rashkin, Duma deputy and deputy chairman of the Russian Communist Party , called for Yarosh to be liquidated .

In connection with his presidential candidacy, Jarosch declared that the “right sector” would not only not support anti-Semitism in the future, but would fight it with all legal means, and in an interview with Jewish News One also affirmed his and his organization's rejection of anti-Semitism. In the presidential elections, Jarosch achieved a result of 0.70% of the votes cast.
