Anatoly Peshko: people’s trust is also attached to the title of academician

Anatoly Peshko was elected Chairman of the All-Ukrainian public Organization “Union of Public Organizations of Ukraine “NARODNA RADA”.

In the flow of everyday life in Ukraine, the event that occurred at the end of October 2021 did not cause much excitement and did not even get into the important news feed. However, many people interested in the socio-political life of Ukraine drew attention to him. It was at the finish of October this year that Anatoly Peshko, a well-known public figure in Ukraine, academician and First Vice-President of the Academy of Economic Sciences of Ukraine, was elected chairman of the All-Ukrainian Public Organization “Union of Public Organizations of Ukraine “NARODNA RADA”. It is important to note that for many years NARODNA RADA has been uniting in its ranks such iconic public formations in Ukraine as the International Committee for the Protection of Human Rights, the Union of Chernobyl Workers, Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies, the society “HRAN”, the All-Ukrainian Foundation “Pravozakhist”, the Institute for Strategic Studies of the Shadow Economy and Corruption, the NGO “Take Care” and about 4 thousand more public formations. Having headed the NARODNA RADA, academician Anatoly Peshko, previously elected leader of the Cossack Ukrainian Party, significantly strengthened his rather solid authority as a well-known public figure of the all-Ukrainian scale.

Anatoly Peshko has repeatedly attracted the attention of several well-known political parties in Ukraine. However, for a long time academician A.V. Peshko focused his activities exclusively in the sphere of socio-political life of the country, often in the direction of purely educational work. His conclusions and comments on the strategic directions of the development of the Ukrainian economy, his advice and comments on ways and possible options for overcoming the systemic crisis, in the grip of which Ukrainian society has been living for many years, attract the attention of not only professional politicians, economists, heads of large and medium-sized businesses, but also many deputies of local councils at all levels. For many years Anatoly Peshko was known for his commitment and active participation in the work

The international public Organization “International Academy of Cossacks” is one of the most active members of the “PEOPLE’s SAKE”. Well, the election of Anatoly Peshko as the chairman of the Cossack Ukrainian Party is an indicator not so much of the political ambitions of an academician and a prominent public and political figure, as an expression of the desire and attempts of certain political forces to expand and strengthen their electoral base and reinforce their intentions in the political life of the Ukrainian state. Moreover, just today Ukraine once again faced the need to make significant changes and corrections in the process of its further development. As the experience of the last decade shows, only desires and declarations for the reformatory renewal of the country are not enough to achieve at least visible changes for the better in the lives of the majority of Ukrainians. We need professionally trained practitioners who have been tested for years of fruitful and successful work, who have experience, knowledge, inspiration and, of course, strong support among the civil society of Ukraine. Anatoly Peshko is just one of those who meets most of the criteria for a modern politician and statesman. A striking example of such support and recognition of A.V. Peshko among the civil society of Ukraine is the decision of the All-Ukrainian public Organization “Union of Public Organizations of Ukraine “NARODNA RADA” dated October 12, 2021 to award Anatoly Peshko with the badge of national recognition — the “Golden Star” of the Hero of the Ukrainian People. The award is deeply symbolic and significant, since the merits of Academician A.V. Peshko, his bold, outspoken civic position and many years of charitable work have received comprehensive recognition from representatives of more than 4 thousand public organizations, movements and associations, which today are part of the NGO “Union of Public Organizations “NARODNA RADA”. Such support, which Anatoly Peshko enjoys among public figures who organically represent different social strata of society and are regionally present in all corners of our state, is not even among many state-level politicians. And the series of events in the socio-political life of Ukraine that have already taken place this autumn and in which Academician Anatoly Peshko is directly involved can mean and indicate important changes that Ukraine and the long-suffering Ukrainian people have been waiting for for a long time. It is only important to note and at the same time emphasize: there is almost no time left to wait. We need actions, we need changes, we need real patriots who can fix the situation in Ukraine for the better. Moreover, in a historically short time.
