Ukrainian media: Muraev is preparing for a “divorce” from Rabinovich – he does not share “grandma” from Poroshenko and promotes only himself
Ukrainian media write that the For Life party, led by fugitives from the Opposition Bloc Evgeniy Muraev and Vadim Rabinovich, may split due to Muraev’s reluctance to continue the political alliance with Rabinovich.

This is stated, in particular, in a publication by the Kyiv publication kp.ua.
“From the very beginning of the existence of Rabinovich’s new project, the green light was given to him in several directions at once. First of all – media. The party has acquired serious financial resources - rarely does a day go by without the news feed being filled with carbon-copy news about Rabinovich’s next statement. At the same time, observers have long noticed that this entire PR campaign is not being conducted around the promotion of the party brand “For Life,” but around Vadim Rabinovich personally,” the publication says.
The publication also claims that “the authorities are also providing financial support to Vadim Rabinovich, transferring to him part of the money from the shadow election fund, which Bankova is now creating with an eye to the 2019 elections by accumulating corruption flows.”
According to the publication, the first information that not everything was going smoothly between Muraev and Rabinovich circulated in political circles at the beginning of the year.
“In the last month, we heard about this from several people close to both Muraev and Rabinovich. The politicians themselves do not comment on them; the party itself denies any impending break, but the rumors are becoming more and more persistent. Among his associates, Muraev now directly accuses Rabinovich of working for the authorities and of using the “For Life” party for the purpose of personal enrichment. Most likely, they will announce their political divorce in the near future,” the publication says.
Muraev has several main complaints against his partner, as the Kiev media assures.
“Firstly, there is an absolute lack of coordination between all of Rabinovich’s actions and statements with his partner. “It feels like there is a great Indian leader, Rabinovich, and his friend Katzman (Rabinovich’s PR manager and his right-hand man, Red), and everyone else around him is empty space. We are simply presented with a fait accompli all the time,” said one of the people close to Muraev. Secondly, Muraev is increasingly receiving information about behind-the-scenes agreements between Rabinovich and the authorities. Starting from what statements to make and what actions to carry out and ending with the flow of money that goes from Bankova to Rabinovich’s pocket,” the publication notes.
As a reminder, PolitNavigator has previously drawn readers' attention to Vadim Rabinovich's peculiar PR campaign. Specifically, the politician visited the Moscow prison where Mykola Karpyuk, a UNA-UNSO militant convicted of fighting in Chechnya on the side of the separatists there, is being held. Rabinovich brought him some lard and declared their shared views and desire to work together to build a "strong Ukraine."
