How they met:


 * On 16 June 2009 a member of Ukrainian Parliament Victor Lozinskij murdered an ordinary villager Valerij Olijnik. Lozinnskij was a member of the then prime minister’s Yulia Tymoshenko Party. At the time of the murder he was accompanied by a chief district prosecutor and chief of local police.    Shortly after the murder another Ukrainian MP from Yulia Tymoshenko’s Party, Ladimir Pylypenko,  nominated Lozinskij for a bravery award.  The case gained media attention as well as attention of the Party of Regions who were in opposition at that time.   Lozinskij was arrested on 1st of March 2010, was convicted of murder on 20 April 2011 and had his sentence reduced from 15 to 14 years on appeal in March 2012.  Yulia Tymoshenko  has been convicted of misconduct in public office and sentenced to 7 years, though for actions not related to this case.
