So there you go!
Home life
maiden name Yulia Tymoshenko Grigyan.She was born in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, November 27, 1960 in the family of Vladimir Abramovich Grigyana and Lyudmila Telegin.
Yulia Tymoshenko Parents divorced when she was 3 years old.His mother worked as a manager in the taxi pool.Also little daughter, in its content and the family needed her mother's sister.
Of course, money is not enough almost anything.However, as she told me later, Yulia Tymoshenko, despite the difficult conditions of life, the mother was able to round up all of their loved ones warm, attention and care.Little Julia grew up surrounded by love from all sides.
Years of training
Education in primary and secondary school was held in the school number 37 in the same Dnipropetrovsk.However, the last two years she spent teaching in the secondary school № 75. It is becoming well-known politician, Yulia Tymoshenko arrives with one of his campaign visits.
According to the memoirs Tamils Furman (class teacher of the senior classes), she studied without three, however, and was not an excellent student.
Julia in childhood and adolescence are actively interested in sports.She visited a section of rhythmic gymnastics.Everyone who knew the girl, were convinced - it "threatens" a career in sport.
before the end of the school Yulia Grigyan replaces his father's name to the parent.All documents referred to graduate Telegin.
After leaving school in 1978, she enters the Dnepropetrovsk Mining Institute.But having studied there for only one year, it takes away the documents and translates the economic faculty of Dnepropetrovsk State University.This institution Julia gets diploma of higher education in the specialty "Economic Cybernetics".
Life Yulia Tymoshenko
Grigyan-Telegin got married very early - at the age of 18.Then she studied in the first year of university.
Versions dating her future husband, Alexander Timoshenko, a lot.The most common, it also tells about herself and participant in the events, says that the future spouses brought the wrong call.One evening in the apartment Julia phone rang on the other end turned out to be a friendly young man who made a mistake when dialing.Conversation ensued, which resulted in the young people agreed on their first meeting.
A year later, a happy marriage in the family Tymoshenko's daughter Eugenia.
Marriage of Alexander Tymoshenko only in the life of Yulia Tymoshenko.However, like all famous people, it is attributed to a lot of novels on the side.Such rumors are born because of the lengthy separations of spouses (Alexander stayed a long time in prison), besides herself Lady S on duty is always surrounded by spectacular and influential men.A light sexual innuendo, always present in the exterior of the policy, the public seems to confirm speculation.
However, analysis of the novels of gossip does not help to know what nationality Yulia Tymoshenko.
popular version
a long time been considered the standard version, which has a well-known politician Russian-Armenian origin.In support of her Armenian roots The names Grigyan who wore maiden name Yulia Tymoshenko.
Nationality is certainly not determined based only on the names.Therefore it is necessary to analyze some policy statements and the facts of her life.
itself Tymoshenko has repeatedly claimed that his father's old all "to the tenth generation" - Latvians.A misunderstanding with the last name was the fault of employees of the passport.They accidentally changed the name of the Baltic Grigyanis on Grigyan.There is also a version of that original sounding names were Grigyas.
also possible that the ending was changed deliberately, in order to avoid negative attitudes in society.
Latvian girl Yulia Tymoshenko
What nationality Julia ancestors from his father, is not easy to make out.If you believe the words of the policy of the many generations of ancestors of Latvians, on the territory of modern Latvia must live not one or two families Grigyanisov (or Grigyasov).But such evidence was found.This surname is simply not typical for the residents of the Baltic countries.This fact is confirmed by the Latvian linguists who claim that the form Grigyanis can only be derived from the Armenian family.
But if Yulia Tymoshenko talks about his Latvian roots of the truth, and reason not to trust it not, where did all of her long-lost relatives of the Baltic?
Were there boys?
lack of surnames in the territory of present-day Latvia can only be explained by the fact that for several generations of the family were born only girls, so that name was almost lost.The lucky owners of it only became father and grandfather Tymoshenko.
But whence came the ancestors of Tymoshenko?
grandfather Abram
Father Tymoshenko had a name and patronymic of Vladimir Abramovich.And if he is really a thoroughbred Latvian why his father's name was Abram?Find a man with such a purely Jewish name and surname Grigyanis (Grigyas) in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia almost unreal.With certainty it can be argued that the roots of Vladimir Grigyana (father Tymoshenko) have Jewish ancestry.
Armenian ancestors
All attempts to find relatives of the policy on the territory of modern Armenia failed.Last Grigyan was very rare in this country.In Yerevan, registered only one such family.
At the same time it is known that the population of Nagorno-Karabakh is quite a lot of families with the surname Grigyan.This genus is an ancient, even aristocratic origin.
There is also evidence that the name Grigyan quite common in the Bessarabian Jews and Gypsies.This information once again brings to the quest for "the Jewish trace".
study of information about relatives on the paternal side yield only half the answer to the question, to what nation belongs to Yulia Tymoshenko.
What nationality policies mother
Mother Tymoshenko was born in Dnepropetrovsk August 11, 1937, in the family Nelepova.The first time she got married at age 18, took her husband's surname Telegin.The marriage quickly fell apart.Some time later, her second husband Lyudmila became the father of Julia - Vladimir Abramovich Grigyan.However, the marriage did not last long.The mother returned to the surname of her first husband, and she bore the name Julia's father almost to the graduating class.
It is, in fact, all the information about kinship Lyudmila Nelepova-Telegin-Grigyan.Neither the Lady Yu, nor her mother had not spread in detail about his family.Even the most nimble journalists were unable to get more information about it.
Aunt-writer
some light on this half of the family Tymoshenko casts her mother's sister - Antonina Ulyahina.She devoted her famous niece as much as two books: "Julia, JUlechka 'and' Julia, Julia" (both were published in Dnepropetrovsk in 2007).They have memories of parents and Antonina grandparents (great-grandparents of Tymoshenko).However, the author has managed not to make any mention of their names and surnames.Only sentimental stories and childhood memories.
reliable facts about the nationality of the mother "gas princess" in this book to get, of course, impossible.However, after a careful reading can come to some conclusions.
Grandma Julia on some pages of the book says Ukrainian phrases.But neither Tymoshenko mother nor her sister do not speak the national language.Also, Julia herself did not speak to him until 1999.All early her interview recorded exclusively in Russian.Besides herself Lady S has repeatedly stated that the seized Ukrainian language in that period of time.
These facts suggest that the great-grandmother, "says" the Ukrainian specifically to subtly suggest (prove) the reader Ukrainian origin policy.
rare mention of the book also prompt reflection.Grandmother Tosha author calls, as its very name is Dasha.Such names are unique to the Russian-speaking population.In the Ukrainian village soon apply Dara Odarka, Tusya, Darin.
In addition, it is safe to say that the family name has Nelepova exclusively Russian roots.All
described can rightly be regarded as evidence of Russian origin, the mother of Yulia Tymoshenko.
Who is she - Yulia Tymoshenko?
What nationality known politician, did not manage to find even after a careful study of the origin of all blood of her family members.Unfortunately, the main reason lies in the very Tymoshenko, who reliably hid that part of his personality.
Of course, in today's world nationality has absolutely no value.The citizens of Ukraine is not even a column in a passport.After each mixed for at least two or three different levels.Because of this "cocktail" it does not affect the character or the tastes and preferences of the person ... Because the issue national identity has become almost irrelevant to others.
However, a successful and simple-minded politician should be honest and forthright to their constituents, including in matters of origin.Especially when they have overcome more than one hundred people.In addition, if the active interest provoked by the very political person.This knows itself Julia.
Without a doubt, Julia would have received lots of positive feedback and even increasing political rating if at least partially solve this mystery.
