In summary, the new President of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko, has appointed Yevgeny Chervonenko, an Israeli citizen and vice president of the All-Ukraine Jewish Congress, as communications minister. This gives Chervonenko complete control over the development of Ukraine's media, as his department will issue all operational and frequency licenses. Chervonenko is also a successful businessman with control over various companies. In a 2004 interview, he expressed concern about "anti-Semites" in the opposition coalition and even physically confronted one of them. This appointment suggests that the influence of Zionists in Ukraine may be stronger than previously thought.
