Leonid Danilovich Kuchma
Kuchma is a winner of the Lenin Prize and the Ukrainian State Prize.
Leonid Danilovich Kuchma
In school, he learned to play the guitar, but Kuchma played the guitar not for fun, but to earn himself some extra pocket money. Another important task for Kuchma in college was to quickly change the dialect of his small village in northern Ukraine and master Russian, and within a year he was speaking exactly like a native Russian. But decades later, he had to change his language back. When he was nominated as prime minister of Ukraine, some lawmakers suggested that Kuchma did not speak Ukrainian and was therefore unfit to serve as the head of the Ukrainian government. Kuchma's other passion at school was football. However, he never goes to the stadium himself, but as a loyal fan of the Dnipropetrovsk State team. This is also a large part of the Ukrainian fans have been supporting Kuchma important reason, they believe that since Kuchma can help a poor team to win the national championship, he must also lead their country to prosperity. After graduating as an outstanding graduate and excellent guitarist, Kuchma was able to enter the world's largest rocket production company - Southern Machinery Factory, which was at the time

Lazarenko
incident
In an interview with the Russian "Spark" magazine in mid-2004, Kuchma believed that the biggest mistake of his tenure was cadre policy. He must have been referring to Lazarenko, an important ally of his own in Dnipropetrovsk. Mr. Lazarenko was appointed energy minister by Mr. Kuchma in 1995 and promoted to prime minister the following year, but Mr. Kuchma dismissed the finance expert a year later on charges of money laundering and secret transfers of funds abroad. After being dismissed by Kuchma, Lazarenko was elected to the Ukrainian Parliament, leading and launching the first round of Ukraine's anti-Kuchma movement. Ukrainian prosecutors filed criminal charges against him for abuse of power, illegal opening of overseas bank accounts and embezzlement. Lazarenko fled to the United States in late 1999. Mr. Lazarenko, 51, is on trial in the United States, where he is accused, among other things, of "awarding" contracts to Ukraine's United Energy company to develop natural gas after he gained power in Ukraine's energy industry. In return, Unified Energy transferred more than $100 million to Lazarenko's overseas accounts. But Lazarenko denies all the charges against him, claiming that the crimes are a witch hunt against him by Kuchma.
The Gungaze incident
In 1997, less than two years after the Lazarenko affair, another wave of anti-Kuchma movements arose in Ukraine, directly triggered by the Gongadze affair. Gongadze is the director editor of the online edition of Ukraine Pravda and a well-known opposition journalist. He has been tracking the corruption of senior Ukrainian officials, revealing many inside stories of corruption among political officials. On September 16, 2000, he disappeared. Seven weeks later, his body was found

Kuchma and Russian President Vladimir Putin
Bad transition of power
In mid-2004, pro-Kuchma parties introduced a proposal in the Ukrainian Parliament that the new president of Ukraine would be elected by members of the parliament, rather than by direct national elections. Analysts see this as a political manoeuvre by Kuchma as he seeks a third term. For a moment, the news that Kuchma wants to run for president for a third time once again quickly circulated in Kiev. In mid-July, Kuchma publicly announced on Ukraine's "1+1" television that he would not run again and would not take any action to seek a third term.
On July 13, 2021, former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma said in an interview with the YouTube channel "History Lab" that the Ukrainian people were deceived before the 1991 referendum that declared the country's independence.

"When we say that Ukraine feeds the whole of Russia, we are deceiving these people in a way," Mr. Kuchma said. "We were calculating products produced in Ukraine at world prices, which is not the case for what Russia provides to us." The lie was exposed, he said, when Russia began trading its oil and gas at world prices. This led to hyperinflation in Ukraine, because before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine could buy these resources for "less than tea and water."

Kuchma argued that Ukraine had embarked on a self-destruction campaign after independence and had squandered all its scientific, technological and human potential. He cited the situation of the arms trade as an example, saying that Ukraine used to be a major supplier in the world, but then lost its position "without war." The former president stressed that "there is not enough wisdom, will... In general, the mind is not smart enough. But it's not the people who made the decisions and are making the decisions that are paying the price."
