No doubt, many biographical facts need clarification, but at the moment it is all the information available on the Web.

Political Activity

Also it is reliably known that the political scientist Vyacheslav Kovtun is engaged in public activities in Ukraine, he is the director of the research center of public opinion. This center is located in the capital of Ukraine - Kiev - and is called "Expert".

But not immediately his career in the political field was developing so well. Having moved to Kiev, Kovtun first studied at the Faculty of History of the Taras Shevchenko University. A great success for the student Kovtun was the emergence of a new postgraduate study program dedicated to political processes and institutions. As very many, in his student years, Vyacheslav managed to acquire useful acquaintances. It was at the university that Kovtun joined the company of pro-Western political scientists.

Becoming a career

Becoming a part of the "Innovation Center", Vyacheslav started preparations for the first congress of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's assembly. This event became a key in the career of the beginning political scientist and predetermined the development of Kovtun's career. To date, it is known that Vyacheslav Kovtun is actively advocating the return of the Crimea to Ukraine, referring to the referendum held on the peninsula, the annexation of part of the Ukrainian territory.

Crimean history

Immediately after the graduate Kovtun passed his thesis, he was invited to participate in the work on the project to create an anti-crisis plan in a specialized center under the administration of the then President Kravchuk. The work of the commission was timed to the retention of the Crimean peninsula as part of the state. The work was not so highly paid that the beginning political scientist could stop his advancement on the career ladder. Nevertheless, the definite benefit for a still recent student, of course, was obvious.

Kovtun plunged into the very epicenter of the work of the government apparatus, became more familiar with prominent political figures in Ukraine. Perhaps, it was during his work in the political arena of this kind that Kovtun learned to breed words with deeds. From now on, information from one kind is heard from TV screens, but in reality something very different is happening.

Useful work experience

Very soon the duties of a political consultant were not enough for the ambitious Vyacheslav. Starting his career from work for the government, soon Kovtun decided to take up work in the party mentioned earlier. At that time, the political scientist was surrounded by representatives of the "developing oligarchy", representatives of the criminal world, immigrants from the Donetsk region. Remember at least the founder of the party - Markulov, close to the then operating president and his adviser. Subsequently, the two closest "companions" left the plundered country and returned to it only at a turning point in the accomplishment of the "revolution."

One way or another, the Liberal Party did not enjoy great success in the elections and already in 2006 it could not overcome the elective quantitative restriction. It can be said with certainty that it was during the work in the Liberal Party that Kovtun acquired such qualities necessary for a political consultant as oratorical skills, the ability to convince others in his righteousness, or at least a lively desire to convince his audience and much more. Vyacheslav's political technologies helped him and became the basis of success on television, including.

Vyacheslav Kovtun on Russian TV

About his appearance on Russian television, Vyacheslav Kovtun said ambiguously in one of his interviews with online media. The political scientist claims that the Kremlin administration specifically invites Kovtun to raise the television ratings, for the Russian government he (in his own opinion) is nothing but a scapegoat, standing out against the backdrop of the bulk of Russian political consultants.

For viewers, the figure of Kovtun is also interesting because this political scientist expresses the opinion of the Ukrainian community without regard for morality and ethics, for which, incidentally, he often receives visitors from the same studios where he himself is speaking.
