In 2002 she graduated from the Donetsk State Academy of Management and received a diploma of retraining in the specialty management of organizations.

A family

Married to Yuri Vasilievich Solod. Two sons Rostislav (17 years old) and Yaroslav (10 years old). In September 2017, the media wrote that Royal and her husband adopted a one-year-old girl Masha from an orphanage in the city of Slavyansk.

Career and business

The Royal decided to work in business from the age of 18. She likes to tell reporters: “I studied well at school, I dreamed of teaching. However, perestroika began, friends and classmates went into commerce.”

The Royal started successfully, in the ETKO joint venture, under the wing of the elder brother Konstantin Koroloevsky, one of the shareholders. In 1993, this enterprise was engaged in the sale of scrap metal. In an interview with the press in those years, Korolevskaya diligently brushed aside the assumptions about her patronage by her brother. Having spent five years as the financial director of CJSC META (this is the name of the ETKO joint venture after the renaming), Korolevskaya was promoted to the financial director of the joint venture.

During 1992-2001, Korolevskaya worked as a manager at the Etko enterprise, financial director of the Meta company and commercial director of the Meta Company.

In 2000, Korolevskaya took up the production of ice cream, having bought out the shares of Luganskholod. She later claimed that “I bought the plant only out of love for my native region,” and she doesn’t eat ice cream. In 2001-2006, Korolevskaya holds the post of chairman of the supervisory board of the enterprise and gives TM her last name: "Royal Ice Cream"). The Royal's ambitions didn't stop there.

At Luhanskholod, they set a goal - to get into the Guinness Book of Records, for this they made the longest ice cream roll in the world.

At the end of 2006, the main owners of OAO Luganskkholod were the private enterprise Luginvestcon (24% of shares) and LLC Holodinvest (12.5% ​​of shares). The founders of these companies are Natalia's parents - Yuri and Larisa Korolevskie.

In addition, the structures of Natalia Korolevskaya supervised the construction of the Oxford housing complex in Lugansk, which is being carried out by the Moscow Investment Construction Company OJSC.

Royal appreciates and is proud of their connections.

I am friends with many businessmen from Russia, as I lived and worked in Moscow. My brother works in the team of Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov,” says Natalya Korolevskaya. To date, she denies any involvement in the business.

In the same period of time (2000-2001) Royal comes into politics. She becomes a deputy of the Lugansk Regional Council, where she worked as the secretary of the permanent commission on industry, construction, housing and communal services and trade.

In the 2004 presidential election Royal supported Viktor Yanukovych. She often explained her position as follows: “I really live in a region where 70% of people support the Party of Regions. I understand this mentality."

Korolevskaya met Yulia Tymoshenko in the fall of 2005; in her interviews with the media, she openly admired and expressed deep sympathy for the leader of the BYuT.“I have repeatedly met this person, and apart from the crazy energy and positive that comes from her, I don’t feel any other feelings,” she said.

This did not remain without a reaction, and already in 2006 Korolevskaya passed to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc party. She became secretary of the Parliamentary Committee on Economic Policy.

It should be noted that during the 2006 election campaign, Luhanskkholod even produced a heart-shaped ice cream called Yuliya.

In the early parliamentary elections of 2007, Korolevskaya was again elected a people's deputy from the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc and she headed the Committee on Industrial and Regulatory Policy and Entrepreneurship.

Then, in December 2011, she was elected leader of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party (USDP), which is part of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc.

But a year later, Korolevskaya was expelled from the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc faction through a systemic violation of factional discipline.

Korolevskaya did not blame the leader of the BYuT for what happened, she claimed that her exclusion from the faction was by decision of Alexander Turchinov and the leader of the parliamentary faction of the BYuT Kozhemyakin.

In the same 2012, the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party (USDP) was renamed the Party of Natalia Korolevskaya "Ukraine - Forward!". She noted that, despite the renaming, the ideology of the party, as well as the political position, will remain the same.

Some congratulated her on the new political project, others called Machiavelli in a skirt: having stepped over her friendship with Tymoshenko, Korolevskaya moved on.

And already on December 24, 2012, her was appointed Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine in the government of Mykola Azarov.

In the early parliamentary elections of 2014, Korolevskaya went to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the Opposition Bloc party, becoming a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the VIII convocation together with her husband. And already in March she received the post of Deputy Prime Minister for Social Policy and Pension Reform in the shadow cabinet of ministers created by the Opposition Bloc party.

In the course of her political activities, Natalya Korolevskaya twice on May 9, 2016, this happened during a solemn procession to the Eternal Flame in Slavyansk. As a result of the attack on June 2, 2017 in Odessa, she received an eye burn and partial loss of vision.

Compromise and rumors

At the beginning of 2013 in the funds mass media there was a scandal about Natalya Korolevskaya did not receive a higher education and forged her own diplomas. This happened after People's Deputy Gennadiy Moskal reported that Natalia Korolevska turned to the police with a statement about the loss of her diploma from the Eastern Ukrainian National University after her appointment as Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine.

In a few days, Natalia Korolevskaya provided journalists with copies of her higher education documents, among which was a duplicate of the VNU diploma dated January 8, 2013. However, following the results of a journalistic investigation, according to documents, Natalia transferred to VNU on a fake certificate from a non-existent educational institution. According to the testimony of the teacher, whose signature is on the Royal record book, she was not among his students.

In October 2013, journalist Oleg Peretyaka filed a complaint with the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Pshonka about the commission of a crime by the Royal and officials of the Ukrainian National University. However, this application was not considered by the Prosecutor General's Office.

In November 2004, the media actively exaggerated the information that Natalya Korolevskaya, through her brother Konstantin (a Russian politician), facilitated the arrival of Yuri Luzhkov to the famous "separatist" congress in Severodonetsk.

During the election campaign of Viktor Luzhkov, in his speech, he encroached on the integrity of the Ukrainian state. Natalya Yurievna denies this: “I have a good relationship with Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov, and when he came to Severodonetsk, I really met him. But these relationships do not give reason to say that I invited him, and he arrived, ”said the Royal.

Compromise and rumors:

Employees of a number of TV channels - incl. TRK Ukraina, STB, ICTV, Novy Kanal, Kanal 5, Kanal 24 received the same task from their editors: to take a comment from Natalia Korolevskaya and to integrate it without fail into the story about the opening of the Parliament session. Mustafa Nayem wrote about this on his Facebook page. According to the author, the editorial conspiracy came to light on the sidelines of the Rada and caused a riot among journalists. “Roughly since the summer of last year, jeans from Natalia Korolevskaya have flooded the market. “We know how much you are worth and we will buy everyone,” is a direct quote from one of the managers of her headquarters,” Nayem specified.

In 2015, Korolevskaya was accused of collaborating with the LPR authorities. However, these accusations were based only on assumptions, as well as oral statements by politicians from the pro-government coalition. The GPU publicly promised to investigate these allegations.

Maintaining the official page of Natalia Korolevskaya on the social network Facebook costs the owner $15,000 per month. The main costs go to providing intrusive advertising and paying for the so-called. "bots" - providing the page with fictitious popularity of fake accounts. This was stated by the top Ukrainian blogger Mykola Malukha, known under the nickname jesfor, during the live broadcast of the VTORNIK TV program. “According to my own conservative estimates, about 10 - 15 thousand dollars were spent in the first month or two. If it had been without advertising, I don’t think that during this time it would have gained 2,000 supporters, and now there are about 17,000,” Malukha said.

The Prosecutor General's Office is investigating criminal proceedings against People's Deputy Natalya Korolevskaya and ex-People's Deputy Alexander Efremov. Prosecutor General Vitaliy Yarema said this at a press conference. "We actually registered criminal proceedings about four days ago and are conducting an investigation into the appeal of MP Irina Gerashchenko," he said. On January 12, the GPU reported that they would launch an investigation against Korolevskaya and Efremov regarding possible separatist activities and financing of militants. In her appeal, Irina Gerashchenko asked the GPU to pay attention to the statement of the leader of the Stakhanov "Cossacks" Pavel Dremov that the head of the LPR, Igor Plotnitsky, is a protege of the Royal, and Efremov's people are in his entourage.

In 2014, employees of the Kyiv City Employment Center were paid a one-time bonus on the occasion of the Social Worker's Day in an amount higher than that specified in the Bonus Regulations, which led to the excessive use of funds for payment wages for a total amount of UAH 805.9 thousand, this fact was established by the State Financial Inspectorate of Ukraine. Informational resources public service employment was also used for money laundering, so on July 12, 2013, additional server equipment for the data center was delivered in the amount of 11.5 million hryvnias, but they did not start using this equipment - it is not needed. Also, for a total of UAH 65.3 million, equipment was purchased that is still in warehouses and cannot be used because another UAH 20 million is needed to install and launch it, that is, it was deliberately purchased not for use. In the Social Insurance Fund against accidents at work, the audit of the State Financial Inspectorate established violations in the amount of more than 610 thousand UAH. These are funds that were transferred to enterprises for services that were not actually provided. And it must be said that such problems have not remained in the past, corrupt officials are actively striving for power further, in particular in the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine, which are now facing the choice of the chairman of the board, the chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, the deputy chairman of the board, the deputy chairman of the FPU is such Saenko Vladimir Vladimirovich . A criminal case was initiated against him under three articles, he was actually behind bars, then he was released, he is now in charge of all these schemes that are in the social insurance funds. The media have accused Saenko of raiding and corruption, money laundering and fraud many times, nevertheless he claims to be the head of the FPU. Moreover, Vladimir Saenko continues to cooperate with the "family" and "earn" money for them on the state budget of Ukraine. He maintains contact through the former advisers of the Royal - Bundukov, Pogodin, Minaev, Serum and Sanchenko.

Under the leadership of the Royal, social insurance funds turned into a testing ground for non-transparent transactions with the funds of insured persons. In order to calmly pump money out of the state, the Royal put members of her party in the positions of heads of the Social Security Funds. "So, for example, on March 5, 2013, the godfather of Korolevskaya, Oleg Vasilyevich Pogodin, was appointed director of the Social Insurance Fund for Temporary Disability, where he famously built corruption schemes to launder millions from the state budget, later he was introduced to the boards of other social insurance funds, where he continued to apply his abilities.Pogodin was already appointed First Deputy Minister in January 2014. According to the same principle, close people of the Royal, who were listed as advisers, were introduced into all structural divisions of the Ministry and subordinate bodies, while they did not take any responsibility, but carry out the role of "watchers" and are looking for any opportunities through their schemes to steal money. One of the leading positions is occupied by Oleg Bundukov, who did not hold official positions, but was directly related to corruption schemes. Now both Pogodin and Bundukov are trying to consolidate the same schemes in other Funds social insurance, in the Fund social insurance for temporary disability," the media wrote.

In 2012-2013, the theft of funds continued. In particular, only in the Odessa region for the period from March 2012 to March 2013, the working bodies of the Fund conducted corruption transactions in the amount of 21.3 million hryvnias. The money laundering scheme was built as follows: an employee of the Odessa regional branch of the Fund negotiated with outsiders to open fictitious companies, to which funds were transferred to pay sick leave. At the same time, workers in these firms did not exist in principle. Funds were sent to the accounts of fictitious firms on behalf of the Fund's officials, after which they were transferred into cash and distributed among the participants in the scheme. The amount of such transactions for different companies ranged from UAH 900 thousand to UAH 1 million. These firms have been identified and criminal cases have already been initiated against them. Another widespread scheme was the use by employees of the Fund of access to the State Register of Compulsory State Social Insurance. Under the leadership of Valentin Dubovenko, who is still the director of the executive directorate of the Social Insurance Fund of the Odessa region, using the information of the insured, they prepared application-calculations with incorrect details, and when the banks returned them, they changed the details to pre-opened accounts of other companies. The amount of such transactions amounted to more than 900 thousand hryvnia. The relevant authorities finally paid attention to the activities of this character, and yesterday the Primorsky Odessa Court decided to detain Dubovenko. The Compulsory State Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine in case of unemployment was also introduced "own" person - Larisa Sidelnikova, who headed the State Employment Center. S.P. Officers became Sidelnikova's deputy. he was one of the controllers of financial flows and processes that brought them profit. This is construction, PR-companies, purchase of computer equipment, etc. Glubochitska, 58 in the Shevchenkovsky district of Kyiv, according to information from law enforcement agencies, the acquisition was carried out at a significantly inflated price - for UAH 140 million, while the market value of the property, according to the results of the examination, was UAH 69.3 million. The building is currently not in use.

At the beginning of 2013, the Ukrainian media widely discussed the issue that Korolevskaya did not have a higher education. The scandal erupted after People's Deputy of Ukraine Gennadiy Moskal wrote on his Facebook page that Natalia Korolevskaya went to the police with a statement about the loss of her diploma of graduation from the East Ukrainian National University (VNU) after her appointment as Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine, which calls into question the legitimacy of the following diplomas she received. A few days later, Korolevskaya provided journalists with copies of documents on higher education, in particular, a duplicate of the VNU diploma, dated January 8, 2013. In December 2013, an article was published based on the results of a journalistic investigation conducted by Oleg Peteryak throughout the year. According to him, according to the documents, Natalia Korolevskaya transferred to VNU on a forged certificate from a non-existent educational institution, and according to the teacher, whose signature is in Korolevskaya's record book, he did not have such a student. In October 2013, the author of a journalistic investigation filed a complaint against the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Pshonka about a crime committed by Natalia Korolevskaya and officials of the East Ukrainian National University. This statement was not considered by the Prosecutor General's Office, but was sent for investigation to the Lugansk district police.

They note that the Lugansk region is pitted with illegal diggers controlled by the Royal. The left coal mined on them was paid for by the Ministry of Coal Industry. The son of the ex-minister Poltavets had a common company with the Royal, through which the money passed. Another source of income for Natalia and her husband is Ukrspetsmet: scrap remelting and supply of aluminum alloys under the guise of waste. Illegal coal was handed over by state-owned enterprises as their own, SE Coal of Ukraine pays money for it, the state-owned enterprise pays off with the supplier of the “leftist” - SE Sverdlovanthracite, and its own coal lay unsold in the warehouse.

In 2012, Natalia Korolevskaya with her party "Ukraine - Forward!" intends to go to parliament, and Yulia Tymoshenko is fighting for her survival in prison. At the same time, it is interesting that it was Natalya Korolevskaya who actually determined the fate of her boss. It was she who, as the head of the election headquarters in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, failed the presidential campaign, despite the fact that Yulia Tymoshenko allocated the most money to her for this election campaign in 2010. And not without reason, shortly before the elections, Yulia Tymoshenko herself unexpectedly fell at the Avangard stadium in Luhansk. It was already predetermined by fate that Natalya Korolevskaya would trip her boss in Lugansk during the elections. The headquarters of Natalia Korolevskaya was inactive during the presidential elections, and the money was simply stolen, for which Natalya Korolevskaya was subsequently removed and expelled from the BYuT. The royal, as you know, is a vindictive nature and does not forgive such insults, therefore her "participation in the release of Yulia Tymoshenko" is more her own PR than participation in the ill-fated fate of her already former boss.

In addition to slogans, the Royal decided to use the strategy of the "new" leaders and the "new" country. The problem turned out to be in this case only in the small - poor performance and a bad performer in the person of Natalia Korolevskaya. A very poorly thought-out strategy and tactics of the election campaign led to the fact that the Royal found herself, with her own powerful PR during public speaking, on the verge of defeat, sometimes in the most harmless situations. Royal, accustomed to the fact that journalists only listened to her, clearly did not expect significant activity on their part. The first very tangible defeat of Natalia Korolevskaya took place on the Inter channel with Yevgeny Kiselev. Natalia Korolevskaya unexpectedly turned out to be not ready to answer the most elementary questions - about the new leaders of the country, who supposedly are already leading Ukraine forward in full force. For a long time, journalists literally tortured Korolevskaya as to the names of her leaders, and Korolevskaya strenuously concealed their names, possibly in order to make unknown heroes out of them. The first attempt to avoid questions about leaders was the proposal to attend the "Civil Forum" of leaders, held on April 18, where, according to the statement of the Royal, the new leaders already known by that time were to be presented. But as it turned out, not all journalists were invited to the Civil Forum, but only those who wrote either for money, i.e. in fact, the same "jeans", or journalists loyal to the Royal herself, in whom they were sure that they would not write anything superfluous. Therefore, the new leaders at the "Civil Forum" were never announced, and instead Gaitana entertained the invited people with her songs. Natalya Korolevskaya, under pressure from journalists, nevertheless gave up and announced a number of names. These names have been slightly supplemented, based on the information that was found on Natalya Korolevskaya and her "new" leaders on the Internet. The result was a small list: Alexey Logvinenko, Evgeny Suslov, Dmitry Spivak, Andrey Panaetov, Ruslan Sekelo, Evgeny Filindash, Vitaly Butenko, Irina Kasyan, Irina Turovskaya, Galina Kulik, Igor Umansky, Vitaly Butenko, Evgeny Shapovalenko, Alexander Kholopov. Some of these people are representatives of the BYuT, in fact, all the same "carcasses", and the other part are representatives of the civil movement "Forward!", Which Natalya Korolevskaya simply bought in the regions as the so-called "new" leaders. Moreover, Korolevskaya could not buy everyone she wanted, hence a series of scandals resulted, for example, with the Afghans, on behalf of whom Natalya Korolevskaya acted without their consent. Yevgeny Filindash, who had already been to the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Joseph Vinsky's "People's Ownership", and the "United Left and Peasants" PP, did not quite fit into the "new" leaders either. Also Igor Umansky, former acting. Minister of Finance in the government of Yulia Tymoshenko and Vitaliy Butenko, a representative of DTEK, which is engaged in fraud in the West to potential investors in the Ukrainian energy sector. It was with DTEK that Natalia Korolevskaya cooperated on issues related to the energy sector of Ukraine and privatization, while DTEK itself worked directly with the PR and Rinat Akhmetov. Therefore, even in this area, Korolevskaya is already unwittingly associated with the PR.

On December 23, 2011, she was elected leader of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party (USDP), which is part of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc. On March 14, 2012, she was expelled from the BYuT faction for systemic violations of the faction's internal charter. According to Korolevskaya herself, her exclusion from the faction took place without the consent of Tymoshenko by the decision of Turchynov and the leader of the BYuT parliamentary faction Kozhemyakin. Later, on the air of the Inter TV channel, Alexander Turchinov confirmed this information and stated that there were serious problems in communication with Yulia Tymoshenko.

In 2008, the online publication "Comments: Luhansk" (lugansk.comments.ua) named Natalia Korolevskaya third in the list of the richest people in the Luhansk region, estimating her fortune at $ 235 million.

In one of the interviews, MP from the BYuT faction - Mikhail Volynets said that Natalia Korolevskaya, as a minister, cares less about ministerial duties, and more about her own benefit. So he gave an example of the fact that Korolevskaya actively promoted the not entirely decent Viktor Poltavtsev to work in the coal industry. Also, following the words of the deputy, Royal sent financial flows to those industries and companies over which she had control.

Natalia Korolevskaya is considered the favorite of Yulia Tymoshenko.

Seven years ago, Borispol customs officers seized from Natalia Korolevskaya a small golden elephant, which her husband had given her, considering this thing to be smuggling. Natalya Yuryevna was removed from the plane and interrogated at the airport for more than six hours. Then there was a trial at which Korolevskaya argued that she was not smuggling. The story ends well. Natalya Yuryevna proved her innocence, and her husband bought the golden thing at the auction.

According to information circulated in the media, somewhere around 2000, my parents bought the Royal JSC "Lisichansk Plant of Rubber Technical Products". A few years later, the enterprise was brought to bankruptcy, thrown into reorganization, with huge wage arrears to the team. There was one more company - "Korta" LLC. She took care of everything and nothing. She kept kiosks in Lugansk. The royal one didn’t bring her to mind either, she lost to her companions - her brother and sister Temniks. Mikhail Temnik was a co-founder with his brother Korolevskaya Konstantin in the ETKO joint venture. They say that Natalia simply gave away a non-core business for a percentage. In the same way, she also covers two other firms registered in the name of Temnikov - Selby and Colormet. The ETKO joint venture was renamed into META CJSC, the Spaniards acted as the foreign partner of the Royals in this structure: a certain Antonio Garcia Munte Lopez and his company "COMERCIAL BARGIA MUNTE S." from Barcelona. The META firm was the backbone of the Korolevs' scrap metal business, until her older brother Konstantin and the older brother of her future husband Yuriy Solod Alexander decided to work together, resulting in the emergence of the notorious Ukrspetsmet firm, founded by Solod and Korolevskaya. The META firm had many subsidiaries with different prefixes: META Company, META Invest Group, Agro Meta. The latter firm was repeatedly mentioned in the press as a commercial structure owned by the parents of the Royal. "Agro Meta" has transformed and changed owners. It was bought by a well-known agribusinessman in the region, the owner of a number of agricultural enterprises united around CJSC SPF "Agroton", Yuri Zhuravlev. Further, the Royal went into politics, as the most profitable business. If the press is to be believed, a number of businessmen, who had previously been seen as especially sympathetic to the BYuT and Tymoshenko personally, were promoted by Korolevskaya on substantial donations.
