Interests: fertilizer production, politics Mykola Yankovsky sold his stake in Stirol nitrogen fertilizer plant in September to Dmytro Firtash after a couple of tough years at the plant. Stirol has suffered from the ever-increasing price of natural gas from Russia.
Firtash, a big player in the gas business, could help the factory get back into profit.
Analysts estimate that Firtash’s Group DF took a 90 percent stake in the plant, valued at $650-750 million.
A professor of economics, Yanukovsky heads the faculty of new technology management at Donetsk State University and is a parliament deputy with the pro-presidential Party of Region’s faction.

Yankovsky has received numerous state awards and titles over the years, including “Hero of Ukraine.” He is currently a member of the Ukraine’s national council on philanthropy.
