You're reading: Brodskiy still entertains with his willingness to dish dirt on rivals

Without politicians like loudmouth Mykhailo Brodskiy, politics would be less interesting.

A businessman-turned-politician, he has been storming already violent Ukrainian political seas for the last decade. He likes to throw in startling accusations without following them through. A liberal by his own definition, he likes to fight. He would have had better chances to push his agenda had he not fallen out with Tymoshenko in 2006. Some voters find Brodskiy’s antics entertaining, but most don’t see him as a serious candidate.
