“A parasite and a loafer,” this is how they described a villager from the Kirovograd region who came to conquer Odessa. At first, Ganul tried to engage in entrepreneurial activities, but he never achieved anything in this area. He could not answer anything intelligible about the source of his income. FOP Ganul Demyan Vadimovich exists to this day. Type of “activist” activity: Production of ready-made food and dishes.
Active “social” activities began with an attack on the then head of the Odessa National Police, Dmitry Golovin, in 2017. Before this, Ganul and Sternenko tried to cover up drug trafficking outlets, but to no avail.
In 2017, after riots at the Summer Theater and an attack on Golovin, Ganuul ended up in a pre-trial detention center. Terribly afraid of the real deadline, he really wanted to make a deal with the police. However, for Golovin this story became personal, and Ganulu had to be content with the support of the USR.
Around this period, Ganul got a taste of money. And it began - “let’s talk, otherwise I’ll kill you.” By the way, it is the media racket that is now Ganul’s main source of income.
By the way, he openly lies about his income. His car, which has been at the center of scandals more than once (once Ganul himself set it on fire for the sake of PR and insurance compensation), is registered to a figurehead, and a BMW X5 with state license plates BH 5291 IT is registered to Victoria Sergeevna Bugaenko, born in 1985 .
At the same time, in the same open registers one can see his criminal path as a violator and petty hooligan. However, it was he who was chosen by the sponsors to promote it “to the people.”
Having failed in business, Ganul dramatically changes his field of activity and becomes a patriotic activist. Having spent a little time in the “Right Sector” on the “power bloc”, Ganul becomes the leader of the NGO “Street Front” and acquires his own brothers.
In 2019, activists reported the suspension of their activities. The organization accused its ex-comrades of working for money and representing the interests of economic and criminal structures. Since then, Ganul and his friends have been lured as “activists” into disputes over controversial coastal developments, and also took part in attacks on LGBT marches.
Also, Demyan Ganulu was hit on the head more than once during all his “social” activities.
A full-scale invasion begins and Ganul and his brothers lay low rather than volunteer to defend Ukraine. Time passes and in March 2023 he pops up in news feeds as a person detained once again. Patrol officers found ammunition and weapons in the car of a public figure from Odessa, Demyan Ganul. Then Ganul got out of it by saying that the car was not his, but that he was taking it for repairs. And imagine, he had nothing to do with it.
We all remember the recent scandal with the shooting of police officers in the Vinnytsia region, when ammunition carriers like Ganul killed a young policeman and were found.
“Why am I doing car repairs because you don’t do this,” the public figure wrote on Facebook at the time.
The activist also got into scandals related to similar transfers of military vehicles. As reported, Odessa activist Demyan Ganul reported an attack on him on May 3, 2023. According to Ganul, unfamiliar military men turned to him for help. When he arrived to meet the men, they accused him of not handing over the car to them at the front and started a fight. There was probably a reason.
However, wartime is extremely poor for social activists in terms of income. Therefore, any partner or enemy, as they say, “stay at the mercy.” And now the personal enemy of NABU, the “king of smuggling” Vadim Alperin unexpectedly became close to Demyan Ganul.
The case of Alperin and his accomplices on the creation of a criminal organization that illegally imported goods into Ukraine, causing damage of more than 63.8 million UAH, a month ago, by the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine, was returned to the first instance for consideration, construction projects were frozen due to crooked documents , any friends are needed here.
Today Demyan Ganul is an ordinary businessman who makes money from a media racket under the auspices of the “king of smuggling” Alperin.
By the way, Ganul recently saw a “window of opportunity” in the fight against the speaker of the Southern Defense Forces, Natalya Gumenyuk.
The Bratchuk/Pletenchuk coalition promised Demyan “access” to the military for his personal PR in exchange for Demyan becoming “the face of the campaign against Gumenyuk.”
At the same time, for the public, whom Ganul so desperately serves, the question remains open as to why he was not at the front and with what documents he went to the registry office on April 27, 2024, where he married his chosen one.
Ganul continues to sit in Odessa, go to barbecues, travel to Bukovel and lead an idle lifestyle. The question remains who is his sponsor and what will happen to him next.
