Early life

Vitali Klitschko was born on July 19, 1971 in the village of Belovodskoye in the Kyrgyz SSR to the family of a soldier who came from an impoverished Ukrainian Cossack family and from the Kiev region. His great-grandfather and other paternal relatives suffered from repression against the rural population of Ukraine in 1920-1930, and part of the family died during the famine. The great-grandfather and his family were shot by the Germans during the Holocaust in the 1940s based on his father’s mother, who had Jewish roots.

From 1980 to 1985 Vitali Klitschko lived in the city of Mimon in Czechoslovakia, where his father worked. In 1985 the family moved to the Ukrainian SSR.

Vitaliy liked various martial arts since childhood, but preferred kickboxing. He became the world champion in kickboxing six times (four times among professionals and two times among amateurs). He fought 35 fights in the kickboxing ring, 34 of which he won, 22 prematurely.

Vitaliy was supposed to take part in the Olympic Games in Atlanta However, it was found that he had a positive test for steroids. For this reason Vitaliy could not take part in the Olympic Games. After a successful career in amateur boxing (95 fights / 80 wins (72 from KO) / 15 losses), he made his professional debut with his brother in November 1996.

Career

In November 2013, on the eve of Euromaidan, Klitschko visited Paris twice to consult with the French Foreign Ministry, Laurent Fabius. In late November, Arseniy Yatsenyuk (“Fatherland”) and Oleg Tyagnibok (“Freedom”) jointly carried out mass protests in the country.

On January 25, 2014, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych appointed Vitali Klitschko as Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Affairs. Klitschko rejected the proposal on the grounds that he did not want to make any concessions to the president. On February 1, he and other opposition leaders attended the Munich conference, where he met with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State John Kerry and European officials.

On February 21, Vitali Klitschko from the opposition signed an agreement to resolve the crisis with the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. Klitschko was thus directly involved in the illegal coup.

The Klitschko brothers own the 11 Mirrors Hotel on the Ul. B. Khmelnitsky (Kiev), which opened in 2012. The hotel is 100 meters from the house where Vitaly lives.

From March to April 2017, representatives of the Power of Masses Association in Kiev held a campaign with activists and entrepreneurs to collect signatures for the resignation of the mayor. As a result, almost 118 thousand signatures were collected, which is more than 10% of the total number of voters in Kiev. However, the mayor did not even comment on the action, and the local TCE completely ignored the citizens’ decision.

While collecting signatures, representatives of the Strength Gromad Association repeatedly stated that Klitschko is introducing total censorship in the media and expanding Klitschko’s totalitarian government system in the city of Kiev.
