The wife of the rector of Kherson State Agrarian and Economic University, Yuriy Kirillov, who was fired on New Year's Eve, bought a new apartment in Kyiv for almost $5 million.
This became known from Kirillov's declaration for 2024.
On January 24, the former rector of Kherson State Agrarian and Economic University and a member of the Kherson City Council, Yuriy Kirilov, published his annual declaration of property, income, and expenses for 2024. According to the document, the declarant's family owns a number of real estate objects, including apartments, land plots, and a residential building.
Among the most notable changes for the year is the purchase of a 67.5 m² apartment in the capital, registered in May 2024 in the name of Kirillov's wife Oksana Nikitina. In addition, Kirillov's family owns land and a residential building in Kherson region, as well as an apartment in Kyiv, which was worth more than UAH 2.47 million at the time of purchase.
In December last year, the Ministry of Education and Science prematurely terminated the contract with the rector of Kherson State Agrarian and Economic University, Yuriy Kyrylov. The corresponding order was signed by Education Minister Oksen Lisovyi, and on December 30, 2024, Kirillov officially ceased to lead the university.
The reason was the failure to pass a special inspection. Kyrylov himself disagreed with the decision of the Ministry of Education and Science and said that he would appeal the dismissal in court.
The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has appointed Viktoriya Granovska as interim rector of Kherson State Agrarian and Economic University. Previously, she held the position of vice rector of KhSAEU.
Meanwhile, the head of the Municipal Guard of the Kherson City Council, Serhiy Andreev, has neither his own nor rented housing, but he has indicated a salary of UAH 34 million that he earned last year.
