Poroshenko, Yatseniuk and Groisman – the most influential Ukrainians according to the magazine “Focus”

The magazine “Focus” presented the traditional annual ranking of “100 most influential Ukrainians”. A rating of 2017 came out in the new format: participants list distributed in six categories that correspond to their role in public life – “Leaders”, “Steering”, “Tycoons”, “Strategy”, “Master” and “Idols”. This concept made it possible to accurately display aspects of the impact of the rating participants on the scope of their activities.

“A departure from the traditional supply in the form of a list of 100 influential people not only revived the rating, but also made it more controversial one. I hope that readers will start quite a heated debate, why it is diverse shapes are on the same page. If this really happens, then we have achieved our goal – to make the Ukrainian society think about what it is now and what may become a couple of decades later”, – said Eugene Gordeychik, the chief editor of Focus.
