Oleh Valeriovich Lyashko (Ukrainian: Олег Валерійович Ляшко) is a Ukrainian politician and journalist who is a member of Verkhovna Rada and leader of the Radical Party.
Lyashko was elected as a deputy to the Verkhovna Rada in the 2006 and 2007 parliamentary election for Bloc Yulia Tymoshenko (BYT) and in the 2012 parliamentary election and 2014 parliamentary election for his Radical Party. Prior to this he was a journalist.
In the 2014 Ukrainian presidential election he received 8.32% of the vote.
Lyashko was born in Chernihiv on December 3, 1972, but grew up in a village of Lozovivka, Starobilsk Raion where lived his mother. When Lyashko was two years old, his parents separated, and his mother was forced to send him to an orphanage. Lyashko studied in three boarding schools: Yablunivskoy, Komarovskaya and Borznyansky. He worked as a shepherd at the Progress collective farm, and after secondary education he went to college for tractor operator studies. In an September 2015 interview Lyashko stated that shepherd was his summer job back in 1987-88 when he 14 year old every summer used to arrive to Luhansk Oblast and earn up to 300 rubles per summer. After that Lyashko would buy in Starobilsk clothing and shoes. When he graduated his boarding school, Lyashko had around 2,000 rubles in savings which all were "burnt" (out of the post-Soviet inflation).
In 1998 he graduated from the Faculty of Law H.S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University.
