Andriy Bohdan
Andriy Yosypovych Bohdan (Ukrainian: Андрій Йосипович Богдан; born 3 December 1976) is a Ukrainian lawyer and former Head of the Presidential Administration. On 21 May 2019, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed Bohdan to lead the office. He was responsible for communication, as well as legal and political issues. Zelenskyy dismissed him on 11 February 2020. Previously, he was also the personal lawyer of oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky.
In 2007, Bohdan was granted the title Honored Lawyer of Ukraine.
Bohdan studied law and economics at the Lviv University. He received an academic degree (candidate of science) of juridical sciences (Doctor of Law).
In the 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Bohdan was candidate for People's Deputy from the Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc, at number 93 on the list. At election time, he was a managing partner of the law firm "Legal Counsel Lawyers". He was not elected, but following the election, he became an assistant to MP Andrey Portnov of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc.
Bohdan was Deputy Minister of Justice from 2007 to 2010. In 2010 he was appointed Deputy Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers. Bohdan worked as the Government Commissioner for Anti-corruption Policy of the first and second Azarov Government terms (2010–2014).
In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election Bohdan was again a candidate for People's Deputy in the Petro Poroshenko Bloc, at number 74 on the national list. At election time, he was a jurisconsult of the law firm "Status". Although the Petro Poroshenko Bloc won 132 seats in the election, only 63 of those seats were won on its national list (the other seats were won in constituencies). Following the election, Bohdan worked as the adviser to the Governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Ihor Kolomoyskyi, and represented him as lawyer in the legal disputes over Privatbank.
On 21 May 2019, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed Bohdan Head of the Presidential Administration. Within four days, 25,000 Ukrainians signed an electronic petition for the dismissal of Bohdan from this post claiming he could not have been appointed because he falls under Lustration laws because of his work for the Azarov Government. The head of the Public Council on lustration issues at the Justice Ministry, Tetyana Kozachenko, also claimed on 22 May 2019 that Zelenskiy's appointment of Bohdan violated the legislation on lustration.
On 2 August 2019, Interfax-Ukraine reported that Bohdan had filed his resignation letter the previous day. The same day, President Zelenskyy stated that he had not signed Bohdan's resignation letter and claimed that "all the people who came with me" had signed resignation letters in advance so they could be removed from their post when "society or president feels that this or that person fails to cope with the goals set for Ukraine."
