Anatoly Shariy (or Anatoliy Shariy, Ukrainian: Анатолій Шарій, Russian: Анато́лий Шари́й, IPA: [ɐnɐˈtolʲɪj ʃɐˈrʲɪj], born August 20, 1978 in Kiev) is a Ukrainian investigative journalist.[1]
In 2008–2011 he authored a number of publications on organized crime in Ukraine.
In 2012 he was granted political asylum in the European Union. (He received a permanent residence permit in Lithuania for a [maximum possible] period of five years.)[1][2]
He runs a video blog on YouTube[3] that focuses on the 2013–15 Ukrainian crisis.
If earlier he was famous primarily for his investigations on the police and other law enforcement agencies[4] (and, as he says, it was the persecution by Ukrainian law enforcement bodies that forced him to seek asylum in Europe[5][6][7]), as of 2014–2015 he is best known for not supporting what happened on Maidan[8][9] and his video blog. The blog specialises on debunking fake reports in Ukrainian mainstream media, amongst other things. As of 2015, Anatoly's blog also includes videos of money being handed out to elderly Ukrainian citizens to replace the pensions which the Ukrainian government stopped paying them.[citation needed]
