Facts & Info: Ukraine’s Radical Party of Oleh Lyashko


Oleh Lyashko's Radical Party is a Ukrainian pro-European radical democratic party led by former journalist, Euromaidan activist and 2014 presidential candidate Oleh Lyashko.
The Ukrainian Radical Democratic Party was founded in August 2010 and was initially headed by Vladislav Telipko. However, the party was renamed a year later, when an independent deputy from the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, Oleh Lyashko was elected the new leader.
The party's platform is focused on creating "a society of equal opportunity and universal welfare" with Lyashko calling for fighting corruption, political and economic reforms, and imposing a ban on land sales.
