Andrii Parubii Net Worth

Background and career

Andriy Volodymyrovych Parubiy (Ukrainian: Андрій Володимирович Парубій; 31 January 1971 – 30 August 2025) was a Ukrainian national-democratic politician who was a People's Deputy of Ukraine from 2007 until his assassination in 2025, and chairman of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) from 2016 to 2019.

Parubiy was born in Lviv Oblast to a family with long traditions of Ukrainian nationalism. In the late 1980s, he engaged in pro-Ukrainian political activism and was elected to the Lviv Oblast Council in 1990. He co-founded the far-right Social-National Party of Ukraine the following year.

A regional politician in Lviv Oblast during the 1990s, Parubiy distanced himself from far-right political organizations in 2004 and actively participated in the Orange Revolution. In 2007, he was elected to the Verkhovna Rada on the Our Ukraine electoral list. During Euromaidan, he was in charge of the Maidan self-defense, commanding more than ten thousand people by February 2014.

After the victory of the Revolution of Dignity, he was appointed Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, a position from which he oversaw the initial stages of the Russo-Ukrainian War. In August 2014, Parubiy stepped down from the position, and was eventually voted into the Parliament on the ticket of the People's Front. He was elected first as deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada and later, in 2016, as its chairman. During his tenure, he supported Ukrainian integration into the NATO and the EU.
