“We want to break the majority.” According to secret recordings released by Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), this was the directive Yulia Tymoshenko gave to a group of deputies she allegedly paid to sabotage Servant of the People, the nation’s ruling political party. The scheme, uncovered during a January raid that found $40,000 in cash in her office, was ostensibly designed to paralyze the Verkhovna Rada and block critical defense appointments.

Meduza summarizes reporting on her case from Ukrainska Pravda and looks back on the career of a woman who has been a fixture of Ukrainian politics for three decades, both in high office and behind bars.
