Biography

Korolevska was born in the

Donetsk state academy of management in 2002 (speciality "Manager of organizations").[5] From 1992 Korolevska worked in several management functions, starting in a company set up by her older brother Kostiantyn,[14] earning a "Leader of middle business" award in 2004.[5]

Political career

From 2002 until 2006 Korolevska was a deputy of the

Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in the years 2003, 2004 and 2005.[17]

Korolevska became a member of

Bloc Yulia Tymoshenko) in autumn 2005 because "she is sure that the block of Yulia Tymoshenko is the future".[15] Korolevska decided to enter national politics: "I knew the most complex problems of the Donbas and sincerely wanted to solve them, but saw and understood that it is impossible to do so at the level of the regional council. It is in this spirit that I arrived in the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) in 2006. Disappointment came quickly enough: it seems that everyone here is well aware of the difficulties, but nobody makes an attempt [to] resolve them and to help the people."[18] During the 2006 and 2007 parliamentary elections, she was elected as a deputy to the Verkhovna Rada. During these tenures Korolevska served as the chairperson of the committee on the issues of industrial and regulatory policy and entrepreneurship in the Verkhovna Rada.[12][19][20][21][22]

Korolevska represented her party in early December 2011 at the Congress of the European People's Party (party leader Tymoshenko was in custody at the time).[23][24]

On 23 December 2011, Korolevska was elected the leader of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party (just like her former party, that party was also a member of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc).[2] Hence she did not change faction in the Verkhovna Rada.[2]

On 14 March 2012 Korolevska was expelled from her “Bloc Yulia Tymoshenko-

Batkivschyna”-faction after refusing to vote for the inclusion of a proposal in the agenda of the Verkhovna Rada (according to the faction, Korolevska claimed her "voting card" was stolen and that she wanted to vote for the proposal[25]).[26]

The faction stated Korolevska was expelled "for breach of parliamentary ethics and cooperation with the

Presidential Administration"; she had been reprimanded previously.[25][27] Two deputies of the “Bloc Yulia Tymoshenko-Batkivschyna”-faction, who were like Korolevska members of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party,[28] resigned from the faction in protest against Korolevska's expelling the same day.[29]

On the 22 March 2012 party congress the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party was renamed

constituencies and thus failed to win parliamentary representation.[30]

Despite that in June 2012 her party had stated it would not cooperate with the

second Azarov Government on 24 December 2012.[33]

On 24 February 2014, just after the "

Maidan revolution",[34] the Verkhovna Rada dismissed Korolevska.[1]

Korolevska was a candidate in the 25 May 2014 Ukrainian presidential election;[35][36][37][38] but withdrew her candidacy on 1 May.[39]

Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine launched an investigation into Korolevska's alleged involvement in funding separatism.[44][45]

Korolevska was re-elected, placed 4th on the party list of Opposition Platform — For Life this time, in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[46] Her husband Yuriy Solod was also re-elected in constituency No. 47 for the same party.[46] Ukrainian journalists discovered that Korolevska failed to disclose her ownership of real estate in Russia's Moscow Oblast for 16 years in a row; in addition, she has allegedly owned real estate and a plot of land in Russia since 2005.[47] In February 2023 Korolevska and her husband Solod asked for the deprivation of their parliamentary mandates for "health and family circumstance."[10] On 24 February 2023 parliament withdrew their mandates.[10]

Political positions

“Almost 20 years spent talking about European values and the principles of democracy has led us to the world of illusions and double standards.”

Korolevska during the Yalta European Strategy conference 2011[48]

Korolevska political goal is "to create an efficient, transparent and stable economy"[49] with less Government involvement.[17] She claims to stand for political reforms to combat poverty and corruption.[49] Korolevska wants to involve the non-government sector more in decision-making.[48] She is against re-privatization.[50]

In February 2012 she accused the Azarov Government of being "amateurish" "and it doesn't seem to notice that the country is on the verge of default".[51]

In early March 2012, Korolevska called for

electoral districts in the 2012 parliamentary elections[54][55]) on 14 March 2012.[28]
