Lesya Orobets
Lesia Orobets (Ukrainian: Ле́ся Ю́ріївна Оробе́ць, born May 3, 1982, in Kyiv) is a former Member of Parliament of Ukraine and a civil society activist. As a founding director of the NGO Price of Freedom, she advocates for strengthening Ukraine's air defence and enhancing collective security along NATO’s eastern flank.
Lesia Orobets graduated with a Master’s degree from the Institute of International Relations at Taras Shevchenko National University in Kyiv, specializing in international law and English translation. Her academic training laid the foundation for her early career in the International Finance Corporation, World Bank Group, and Baker McKenzie law firm.
Orobets began participating in political campaigns and grassroots electoral activities at the age of 12, assisting her father, Yuriy Orobets, who was People's Deputy of Ukraine at the time.
In 2003-2004, she volunteered as the deputy head of a local election committee during the 2004 presidential elections, contributing to efforts to resist electoral fraud allegedly orchestrated by pro-Russian forces led by Viktor Yanukovych. She played an active role in the subsequent Orange Revolution, which emphasized human rights, political freedoms, and Ukraine's closer alignment with Western institutions and values.
Lesia Orobets ran for office and was elected twice as a Member of Parliament in Ukraine (2007–2012, 2012–2014). During her tenure, she worked on modernizing Ukraine and addressing challenges related to Russia's hybrid occupation.
According to the newspaper DELO (2010), Orobets was selected as the most influential politician-blogger of 2010. Additionally, the magazine Focus named Orobets one of the 100 most influential women in Ukraine – ranking her 54th in 2011 and 26th in 2012.
She was instrumental in implementing the External Independent Evaluation (EIE), an educational reform that replaced corrupt and outdated admission practices. The EIE expanded access to higher education for talented students from low-income backgrounds, promoting greater equity and transparency in the system.
Orobets also successfully advocated for stricter tobacco regulations aimed at preventing underage smoking and reducing exposure to second-hand smoke.
