Andriy Volodymyrovych Parubiy (Ukrainian: Андрій Володимирович Парубій; 31 January 1971 – 30 August 2025) was a Ukrainian politician and a member of the Ukrainian Parliament since 2007, serving as its chairman from 2016 to 2019. He was assassinated on 30 August 2025.

Parubiy was born in the Lviv region to a family with long traditions of Ukrainian nationalism. In the late 1980s, he engaged in pro-Ukrainian political activism and was elected to the Lviv regional council in 1990. He co-founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine the following year. Being a regional politician during the 1990s, Parubiy distanced himself from far-right political organizations in 2004 and actively participated in the Orange Revolution.

In 2007, he was elected to the Ukrainian Parliament on the Our Ukraine political ticket. During the Euromaidan, he was in charge of the Maidan self-defense, commanding more than ten thousand people by February 2014. After the victory of the revolution, he was appointed Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, a position from which he oversaw the initial stages of the Russo-Ukrainian War.

In August, Parubiy stepped down from the position and later he was voted into the Parliament on the ticket of the People's Front. He was elected first as deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada and later, in 2016, as its chairman. During his tenure, he supported Ukrainian integration into the NATO and the EU. Parubiy was described by the BBC as a politician of the national-democratic camp.[9]

He was assassinated in Lviv on 30 August 2025 by an unidentified gunman who fled on an electric bike.

Early life and education

[edit]

Andriy Parubiy was born in Chervonohrad, Lviv region, on 31 January 1971. His ancestors served in the Austro-Hungarian military and, after its collapse, in the Ukrainian Galician Army that fought in the Polish-Ukrainian War from 1918 to 1919. His uncles fought for the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, and after World War II, the whole family was sent to Siberia for ten years. His father was active in the Ukrainian independence movement and made a political career after 1991, reaching the position of deputy mayor of Lviv. On his mother's side, his family is from the Kharkiv region[10]

In 1994, Parubiy graduated from the history department of University of Lviv and received a diploma with the specialization as historian.[10] In 2001, he completed a program in political science and sociology at the graduate school of the State University Lviv Polytechnic.[11]

Career

[edit]

Start of political involvement, 1987–2004

[edit]

Andriy Parubiy started his career in 1987 as laboratory technician in the archaeological expedition of the Institute of Social Sciences [uk][12] In 1988, he co-founded the organization "Heritage", which looked after the graves of Ukrainian Insurgent Army soldiers and defended anti-Soviet protesters.[9] Parubiy was arrested by the authorities of the Ukrainian SSR for organizing an unsanctioned rally in 1989.[13] In 1990, he participated in an election for the local council. The day before the vote, he was arrested and learned of his successful election to the Lviv regional council while under arrest.[9]

In 1991, he founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU) together with Oleh Tyahnybok.[14][13] The party combined radical nationalism with neo-Nazi features and symbols, including its name and the Wolfsangel-like sign.[15][14][16] According to The Jewish Chronicle, the party restricted membership to ethnic Ukrainians, and was based on the fascist ideology of Hitler.[17] The party considered "the Russian state to be the cause of all troubles in Ukraine".[9] From 1998 to 2004, Parubiy led the paramilitary organization of SNPU, the Patriot of Ukraine which aimed to assist the Ukrainian army and fleet.[9][16] Parubiy left these organizations in 2004.[15] From 1994 to 1998, he was a representative in the Lviv city council and in 2002 was again elected in Lviv regional council[12][18] where he rose to the position of its secretary.[19]

Revolutionary activity, 2004–2014

[edit]

Parubiy participated in the Orange Revolution in 2004.[13][20] After its victory, he joined the newly created Our Ukraine party from which he was elected into the Lviv regional council in 2006 and to the Verkhovna Rada during the 2007 parliamentary elections.[10] He then became a member of the deputy group that would later become For Ukraine!.[13] Parubiy stayed with Our Ukraine and became a member of its political council.[21] In early February 2012, Parubiy left Our Ukraine because their "views diverged".[22] Later, he briefly joined the political party Front for Change[23] and in 2012, he was re-elected into parliament on the party list of Batkivshchyna.[24] In 2011, he participated in the Bolotnaya protests in Moscow.[25][26]

From December 2013 to February 2014, Parubiy was a commandant of Euromaidan.[27] He coordinated the volunteer security corps for the mainstream protesters.[28] In December, these self-defense groups consisted of 5,000 people,[29] rising to 12,000 in February.[9] During the protests, Andriy Parubiy was injured twice, in early December[30] and in late January.[31] On 18 February, he called on protesters to block the parliament building.[32] He was then appointed Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.[33] This appointment was approved by then-new Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko on 16 June 2014.[34]

After the revolution, 2014–2025

[edit]

As Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Parubiy supported the operation against pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.[35] In May 2014, at a Ukraine–NATO working group in Brussels, Parubiy requested that NATO experts should come to Ukraine to help plan the reform of Ukraine's security and defence sector.[36]

Parubiy resigned as Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council on 7 August 2014. He declined to say why, stating "I believe it is unacceptable to comment on my resignation in a time of war", and he would "continue to assist the front, primarily volunteer battalions".[37] President Poroshenko signed a decree confirming Parubiy's dismissal the same day.[38] Later, Parubiy acknowledged that the dismissal happened due to different views over the resolution of the conflict in Donbas.[9]

In September 2014, Parubiy became a founding member of his new party People's Front.[39] At the Ukrainian elections of October 2014 he was re-elected as People's Deputy on the People's Front party list. On 4 December, he was elected as Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada.[40] After this, he left the party's faction in the parliament.[41] In the same month, he was a target of an assassination attempt; a grenade was thrown at him near the hotel "Kyiv".[9]

After the resignation of Volodymyr Groysman, on 14 April 2016, he was elected as Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada.[1] On 15 February 2019, Parubiy signed a decree on the establishment of the parliamentary reform Office. The VR Chairman noted that it is planned to involve 15 employees in the work in the Office in accordance with the directions of parliamentary work.[42]

After Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected President of Ukraine, he called for early parliamentary elections. Andriy Parubiy called such an action unconstitutional[43] and later accused Zelenskyy of a lack of knowledge of Ukrainian legislation.[44] In the July 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Parubiy was placed second on the party list of European Solidarity.[45] The party won 23 seats (on the nationwide party list and 2 constituency seats) and thus Parubiy was re-elected to parliament.[46] After Russia invaded Ukraine, he joined the territorial defense forces, and a few months later left to concentrate on his work in the Parliament.[26]

Assassination

[edit]
Main article: Assassination of Andriy Parubiy

On 30 August 2025, Parubiy, aged 54, was fatally shot by an assassin in Lviv.[47] The shooting occurred around noon local time in the Frankivsk district of Lviv when a gunman fired multiple rounds at the former parliamentary speaker.[48] Lviv journalist Mykola Saveliev reported that Parubiy was shot with a Makarov pistol, and four of the multiple bullets hit him. The assassin had been staking out a neighboring building for several days before the killing.[49]

Unverified footage shows the attacker dressed as a delivery driver walking up to Parubiy, shooting him, and fleeing on an electric bike.[50] On September 1, 2025, Volodymyr Zelensky announced that police and security services had detained a suspect.[51][52]

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the killing as a "terrible murder" and announced that all necessary resources would be deployed to investigate the case and find the perpetrator.[53] Ukrainian law enforcement agencies, including the national police, regional police in Lviv, and the security service, launched investigations into the killing. The Prosecutor General's office initiated a special investigation dubbed "Operation Siren" to examine the circumstances of the assassination.[48]

Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described Parubiy as "a patriot and statesman who made an enormous contribution to the defence of Ukraine's freedom, independence and sovereignty."[54] Former president Petro Poroshenko called the assassination "a shot fired at the heart of Ukraine."[55] His Parliamentary political party, European Solidarity, asked Volodymyr Zelenskyy to award him the title of Hero of Ukraine.[56] Member of the Ukrainian Parliament Volodymyr Ariev stated that six months before the assassination, Parubiy asked for state security to be provided and that his request was declined. The State Security Administration responded, stating that Parubiy didn't qualify for protection under the rules for providing security protection for former officials.[57]

Political positions

[edit]

In 2010, Andriy Parubiy brought a smoke bomb into Parliament to protest the signing of the Kharkiv Accords, which continued the lease of bases for the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea from 2017 to 2042.[9] The following year, he introduced a bill to denounce the accords.[58]

In 2017, after meeting with NATO representatives in Tbilisi, he introduced an amendment to legislation setting Ukraine's foreign policy goal as NATO membership, not just the achievement of the criteria for it.[59] The following year, he said that the law on national security of Ukraine took into account the position of NATO experts.[60] Later, he supported President Petro Poroshenko's proposition to introduce the aim of joining NATO into the Constitution.[61]

In 2016, Andriy Parubiy was against holding direct talks with representatives of the DPR and LPR separatists, calling them terrorists.[62] In the same year, he said that he had not supported the Minsk agreements from the start, claiming that Putin could be stopped only by military force and sanctions.[63] Later, he supported a bill on the reintegration of Donbas, which was criticized by the EU and the UN for a lack of attention to the human rights of people from the occupied territories and by Russia for a lack of mention of the Minsk agreements in the text.[64] In 2019, before the Normandy summit, he participated in protests that urged Zelensky not to compromise on Ukraine being a unitary state, its EU and NATO membership, and holding elections in Donbas before Ukraine had full control of the border.[65] In 2022, after Russia invaded Ukraine, he advocated against negotiation, claiming that this was the only chance to destroy that "empire".[9]

In 2015, Andriy Parubiy expressed support for the reform of Ukrainian prosecutors by former Georgian politician David Sakvarelidze.[66] In 2018, he called it "shameful" when the parliament didn't absolve political activists from the requirement to declare their assets.[67] In the same year, he supported the introduction of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Court, saying that it was Ukraine's obligation to the IMF.[68] In 2019, Parubiy defended the medical reform by Ulana Suprun.[69]

In 2018, Parubiy supported a law to allow Ukrainian law enforcement to block websites without a court decision for 48 hours.[70] The following year, after the pro-Russian Ukrainian channel NewsOne planned to conduct a teleconference with a Russian TV channel, Parubiy urged the introduction of a law to make this impossible in the future.[71]

In 2017, Parubiy said that there would be no amendments to the language norms of the law on education, contrary to the advice of the Venice Commission.[72] He supported the law on the protection of Ukrainian as a state language.[73][74] Later, he called attempts to overturn the law via court a "Russian revanche".[75] In 2016, Parubiy expressed support for the autocephaly of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine on national security grounds.[76] In 2019, he visited Istanbul as part of a Ukrainian delegation to obtain a tomos on autocephaly for the church.[77]

In 2010, Parubiy asked the European Parliament to reconsider its negative reaction to former Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko's decision to award Stepan Bandera, the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, the title of Hero of Ukraine.[78] In 2016, he said that decommunization was as important as judicial reform or national security issues.[79] In 2019, after Ukrainian court overturned renaming of the two prospects in Kyiv, Parubiy stated that "In Kyiv, there shall be a Bandera Avenue and a Shukhevych Avenue, as stipulated by the law on de-communization".[80]

Andriy Parubiy stated that both protesters and law enforcement during the Revolution of Dignity were shot by Russian snipers.[81] In 2018, commenting on the attack in Kerch, he said that children died because of the "madness" of the "Russian world".[82]

It is noteworthy that of these various Ukrainian nationalist parties the SNPU was the least inclined to conceal its neofascist affiliations. Its official symbol was the somewhat modified Wolf's Hook (wolfsangel), used as a symbol by the German SS division Das Reich and the Dutch SS division Landstorm Nederland during World War II and by a number of European neofascist organizations after 1945. As seen by the SNPU leadership, the Wolf's Hook became the "idea of the nation." Moreover, the official name of the party's ideology, "social nationalism," clearly referred back to "national socialism" – the official name of the ideology of the National-Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) and of the Hitlerite regime. The SNPU's political platform distinguished itself by its openly revolutionary ultranationalism, its demands for the violent takeover of power in the country, and its willingness to blame Russia for all of Ukraine's ills. Moreover, the SNPU was the first relatively large party to recruit Nazi skinheads and football hooligans. But in the political arena, its support in the 1990s remained insignificant.
