Biography and career
Born in 1989 in Mariupol, Donetsk region, Zheleznyak began his political career as an assistant to people's deputies. In the eighth convocation of the Verkhovna Rada, he advised Viktoria Ptashnik from the Samopomich party, and earlier – MP from the Party of Regions Oleksiy Plotnikov. These roles shaped his understanding of the political structure of Ukraine and skills in working with government bodies.
Since 2015, Zheleznyak has worked as an adviser to the Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine Aivaras Abromavicius, which has strengthened his position as an expert in economics and parliamentary relations. Today, he represents the Voice party and performs a number of key functions: deputy chairman of the faction and first deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy.
Declarations and financial issues
Zheleznyak's activity on social media is accompanied by attention to his declarations. In his electronic declaration for 2020, Zheleznyak indicated that he used a 2014 Tesla Model S, which belonged to his father-in-law Yuri Vorobyov, and that his ex-wife Antoaneta drove a 2020 Jaguar I-PACE and, earlier, a 2017 Renault Zoe, which were registered to Ukrug LLC, also owned by Vorobyov.
Zheleznyak's total income for 2020 was UAH 1 million 81 thousand, most of which was his salary in the Verkhovna Rada. Questions about the origin of funds for expensive cars were raised by journalists, but connections with the father-in-law's family explain the use of these vehicles.
