“Alexander Ivanovich Koreyko was the man in his last youth attack – he was thirty eight years old”, that is how Ilf and Petrov wrote about an underground millionaire in their novel “Golden calf”. Vasyl Gorbal is a completely legal millionaire, who made his fortune in the bank and construction businesses. But the businessman, just as Koreyko is about to turn 38 - a peak of the “last youth attack”.

In the gust of this attack the banker suddenly decided to take part in the early elections of Kyiv city mayor.  The Party of regions, where the businessman belongs, tried to promot their own man to one of the most strategic power positions. Kyiv city did not yield to the Party of regions. So Gorbal will have to go back to his borings businesses, namely: to manage Ukrgazbank, Ukrainian insurance group, motor-car company Eurocar and construction company Kyivgorstroy. In other words, get to his business. Moreover, taking into account the fact that Gorbal gets into the 50 rating of the richest Ukrainians for the third consecutive year, one can tell that his is good at increasing his assets, even being far away from the most powerful political positions. The loss of over $200 million this year can be considered as a temporary force majeure.
