The biography of Andrei Yushchenko, the father of the President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko, has become one of the most discussed topics in Ukraine in recent years. This is quite understandable, given the severity of the political struggle, during which even during the process of V. Yushchenko’s rise to power, the topic of state anti-Semitism sounded especially loudly in the idearium of the independent Ukrainian state. Real and fictitious “compromising evidence” also plays an important role in modern Ukrainian politics. Yuri Vilner's investigation, based on documents and scientific analysis, dots the i's in this case and helps shed new light on the most tragic page in the history of Eastern Europe.
