Igor Piddubny (also spelled Poddubny; Шаблон:Lang-uk; born June 18, 1965) is a Ukrainian journalist, media manager, politician, and film director known for a number of documentaries that covered controversial topics in Ukrainian history and were aimed at Russophone audiences in both Ukraine and Russia. One of these documentaries, which delves into the life of Stepan Bandera, one of the leaders of Ukrainian nationalists, topped the ratings of UA:First, the national television channel in Ukraine, for the year 2015. Piddubny was also one of the founders of Robinzon TV, the first streaming television website in Ukraine. He received Merited Journalist of Ukraine award in 2015.

Media and political career

Early career: 1991–1999

Piddubny was born in Kharkiv on June 18, 1965.Шаблон:Sfn He graduated from Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics in 1991, and later took courses in journalism from the University of Vienna.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

Piddubny's career in journalism started amid the economic chaos, hyperinflation, and uncertainty that followed the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. In 1992, he worked for the newly formed Kharkiv newspaper ATV and became the deputy head of the Kharkiv office of Nika TV,Шаблон:Sfn a newly formed cable television company headquartered in Moscow. As both media projects failed and were restructured, Piddubny moved to the FM radio business. In March 1995, he became CEO of Radio 50, a local radio station, but after a period of media asset consolidation, the station changed its ownership, and in 1997, Piddubny had to leave.Шаблон:Sfn He briefly attempted his own advertising business, but returned to radio in 1998.Шаблон:Sfn

Politics and media: 2000–2010

From the early 2000s, Piddubny partnered with Arsen Avakov, a Ukrainian businessman and politician, identified with the "Orange" political block. The block was then at the core of the opposition Ukrainian politics, mainly formed by Viktor Yushchenko's "Our Ukraine" and Yulia Tymoshenko's All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland". Piddubny simultaneously headed several media projects sponsored and controlled by Avakov, including Шаблон:Ill, radio station Novaya Volna, TV and radio company Radio-Artel, etc.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Piddubny's longest involvement was with the currently defunct Kharkiv weekly newspaper, Pyatnica, where he served as an editor-in-chief from 2003Шаблон:Sfn to 2011 (in paper format)Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn and then until 2015 when it continued (as an online publication).Шаблон:Sfn

After the success of the Orange Revolution in 2005, Avakov was appointed the Governor of Kharkiv Oblast by newly elected president Viktor Yushchenko. However, due to regional political differences, the Orange political block was in the minority in Kharkiv Oblast. Considerable tension grew between centrally-appointed Avakov the two leaders of local government Hennadiy Kernes and Mykhailo Dobkin.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Amidst this tension, Avakov-controlled media and Kernes-controlled media continuously attacked their respective opponents.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn In early 2007, Piddubny's new Opel Signum vehicle parked next to his home was burned in a night-time arson attack.Шаблон:Sfn Both Piddubny and Avakov denounced the attack and alluded that only two people could have behind it;Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn however, seven years after the arson, the perpetrators had still not been found.Шаблон:Sfn

Meanwhile, in late 2005, Piddubny began his own political career in Kharkiv local government, joining All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" in December.Шаблон:Sfn In 2006 he was elected to the Kharkiv Oblast Council; later he became the caucus leader for the "Fatherland" minority in the council.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn In 2009, one of Piddubny's projects in the council was the electronic condolence book of Kharkiv Oblast which aimed to preserve information about local victims of World War II.Шаблон:Sfn

In the summer of 2010, Piddubny helped defending Kharkiv's urban forest from the road laying and the associated tree-cutting initiated by Hennadiy Kernes. The attempt to defend the forest failed, however, as the protesters were beaten and their camp destroyed by pro-Kernes titushky, and the road was eventually built.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn In 2010, Piddubny also served as an assistant to People's Deputy of Ukraine Шаблон:Ill Шаблон:Sfn

In the fall of 2010, Ukraine experienced a political shift when Viktor Yanukovych was elected president, reversing the Orange Revolution. In simultaneously held local elections, Piddubny was elected to Шаблон:Ill,Шаблон:Sfn but his patron, Arsen Avakov, lost his head-to-head controversial and contested electoral battle with Hennadiy Kernes for the position of Kharkiv mayor.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn As freedom of the press in Ukraine deteriorated,Шаблон:Sfn by 2011, most Avakov-controlled media were forced off the air or out of circulation.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

Media and politics: 2011–present

After the demise of most of Avakov's media, Piddubny remained the editor-in-chief of (online only) Pyatnycya at least until 2015.Шаблон:Sfn

By 2012, Piddubny's main project has become Robinzon.TV, the first Ukrainian streaming television website.Шаблон:Sfn It utilized YouTube as its underlying platform, and offered a mix of studio programs and live news, often from unpaid stringers armed only with mobile phones.Шаблон:Sfn In an interview, Piddubny said that the idea came from a Russian TV channel, Dozhd. He said that rather than create Robinzon.TV as a "political mouthpiece," his aim was something akin to a public broadcasting service.Шаблон:Sfn After the Ukrainian revolution of 2014, Robizon.TV was purchased by businessman and politician Yevheniy Murayev.Шаблон:Sfn

Piddubny remained in opposition in the Шаблон:Ill; occasionally, his verbal altercations with Hennadiy Kernes attracted national attention.Шаблон:Sfn In 2015, Piddubny was re-elected to the Kharkiv City Council; his current term ends in 2020.Шаблон:Sfn However, he no longer represents the All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland", and is listed as an independent member of the Council.Шаблон:Sfn

In 2015, Piddubny received the Merited Journalist of Ukraine award from the Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko.Шаблон:Sfn As of 2016, Piddubny considered film-making his primary work.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

Film making

Piddubny's career as a film director began in 2010 with an hour-long documentary, Undesirables (Шаблон:Lang-ru), inspired by his work on the electronic condolence book of Kharkiv Oblast.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Undesirables spotlights how many contemporary Ukrainians have ancestors who were persecuted by communists or Nazis, resulting in significant omissions in ancestry knowledge.Шаблон:Sfn The film was positively received.Шаблон:Sfn

Although Piddubny's documentaries deal with Ukrainian history, they are filmed in Russian and specifically aimed at Russophone audiences in both Ukraine and Russia. Piddubny gave two reasons for this decision. First, Ukrainian-speaking audiences know Ukrainian history much better and do not have as many questions (or hold as controversial opinions) as the Russian-speaking Ukrainians.Шаблон:Sfn Second, because the Russian audience is considerably larger, Piddubny could make more money.Шаблон:Sfn

Stepan Bandera: Ukraine between red and black

Шаблон:External media The documentary Stepan Bandera: Ukraine between red and black delves into the life of Stepan Bandera, a militant ideologist of Ukrainian nationalism. The documentary was filmed in 2014 in multiple locations, including Bandera's birthplace, Staryi Uhryniv; other Ukrainian towns associated with Bandera and his followers;Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Jezkazgan in Kazakhstan (the location of the largest Soviet labor camps for Ukrainian political prisoners); and inside Moscow archives.Шаблон:Sfn Like other Piddubny films, it was primarily aimed at the Russophone audiences of Eastern Ukraine and Russia.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

The film received overall positive reviews from critics, who thought Piddubny managed to maintain an independent viewpoint free of propaganda for either side, and that such an account of Stepan Bandera was long overdue.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Boris Bahteev, a Шаблон:Ill critic, believes, however, that Piddubny hadn't completely freed his worldview from the Soviet propaganda and mythology created around Bandera.Шаблон:Sfn

The documentary topped the ratings of UA:First, the national television channel in Ukraine, for the year 2015.Шаблон:Sfn It gained additional audience on YouTubeШаблон:Sfn and on 1+1 TV channel,Шаблон:Sfn and is being used in Ukraine in secondary schools as an educational aid.Шаблон:Sfn As of 2016, it remained the most-watched Piddubny film.Шаблон:Sfn

Crimea: Maximum Security Resort

Шаблон:External media Premiering in October 2015, the documentary Crimea: Maximum Security Resort is a four-part miniseries that explores 250 years of the Crimean history.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn It investigates the question who had a more righteous claim to the Crimean peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn The miniseries received positive reviews from Ukrainian critics.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

The miniseries utilizes many previously unpublished NKVD archive documents,Шаблон:Sfn prompting Inna Dolzhenkova, a Ukrainian Association of Cinematographers critic, to call the documentary "a painful slap in the face" to Ukrainians who became interested in the history of Crimea only after its annexation.Шаблон:Sfn

Ivan Mazepa: I appoint you a traitor

Шаблон:External media Filmed for 18 months between 2017 and 2019,Шаблон:Sfn the documentary Ivan Mazepa: I appoint you a traitor explores the life of Ivan Mazepa, a controversial Hetman of Zaporizhian Host who is asymmetrically portrayed in Russian and Ukrainian histories. Piddubny's film crew worked in Ukraine, Austria, Romania, Russia, and Sweden to present a comprehensive image of Mazepa.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Two Russian historians, Шаблон:Ill and Шаблон:Ill appeared in the film as consultants.Шаблон:Sfn

The documentary premiered in a Kharkiv theater in March 2019.Шаблон:Sfn Aside from Ukrainian television, the film was shown internationally within the Ukrainian diaspora in United States and in Europe, including Vienna, Budapest, and Stockholm.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn In 2019, it received Gran Prix at the historical film festival Poza ChasomШаблон:Sfn and was the subject of masterclasses at the Kharkiv State Academy of Culture.Шаблон:Sfn

The documentary received positive reviews from Ukrainian historians Шаблон:Ill Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn and Шаблон:Ill Шаблон:Sfn and Russian historian Boris Sokolov Шаблон:Sfn The documentary was criticized, however, because it was filmed in Russian rather than Ukrainian.Шаблон:Sfn
