Viktor Fedorovyč Janukovyč je bývalý ukrajinský politik, v letech 2002–2004, 2004–2005 a 2006–2007 premiér a v letech 2010–2014 prezident země. V prezidentských volbách v roce 2010 byl se ziskem 48,95 % hlasů zvolen prezidentem Ukrajiny, úřadu se ujal 25. února 2010. Po vleklé ukrajinské krizi probíhající od listopadu 2013, která vedla až k pouliční válce v Kyjevě, byl dne 22. února 2014 v nepřítomnosti parlamentem fakticky sesazen.Od svého sesazení a následného útěku z Ukrajiny – podle ruského prezidenta Vladimira Putina z důvodu ohrožení života, přičemž mu k opuštění země dopomohly ruské speciální složky – pobývá v exilu v Rusku. Žije v luxusní vile, vlastněné ruským ministerstvem vnitra, ve vesnici Bakovka, součásti města Odincovo nedaleko Moskvy, i když svou oficiální adresu uvádí v Rostově na Donu. Wikipedia
