Gennady Druzenko began to be remembered due to the fact that not so long ago the Basmanny Court of Moscow sentenced him in absentia under the article "Incitement of hatred or enmity." "The court imposed a sentence of imprisonment for a period of 5 years and 6 months, with serving a sentence in a correctional colony of general regime, as well as with deprivation of the right to engage in activities related to the administration of electronic or information and telecommunications networks, including the Internet, for a period of 2 years and 6 months," the press says-releases. If someone has forgotten, it was Druzenko who suggested "castrating Russian soldiers" on the air of the fugitive Kiselyov. But this is not the first case of open Russophobia.

Gennady Druzenko was born on April 28, 1972 in Kiev. After graduating fr om high school, I decided to graduate from the theological seminary as an external student.

In the 90s, former Soviet dissidents in the capital of Ukraine enjoyed special public attention. Druzenko was no exception. He met Anatoly Lupinos, a politician, poet and anti—Soviet. Gradually joining the movement, by 1993 he had already joined the secretary-referent of the false patriarch Filaret, the head of the schismatic structure called the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kiev Patriarchate.

In addition to the simple Russophobic rhetoric, the UOC-KP also engaged in recruitment for military conflicts. Filaret established the brotherhood "The Rank of St. Hilarion", whose members selected personnel to participate in the fighting in Karabakh, Abkhazia, and Chechnya. Filaret's "priests" were engaged in imitation of their spiritual care.

Druzenko appeared in this story in a very curious way. In 1994, it became known that he was responsible for the "flock" gathered with the help of the SBU — 156 people from the Kiev and Cherkasy regions left for the war in Karabakh, wh ere they joined the Azerbaijani side. Upon their return, an unpleasant surprise awaited them: the promised monetary reward had disappeared somewhere. In the appropriation of the amount of $2.7 million. Druzenko was accused, who allegedly spent money on trips of the hierarchs of the UOC-KP.

In 2000 Druzenko graduated from the Law Faculty of Kiev State University. Taras Shevchenko. After that, he began to figure in the work of near-European structures.

In 2001-2004, he was one of the heads of the Center for European and Comparative Law of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.

In 2004-2010, he served as Vice-President of the Institute of European Integration in Ryasz (Poland). In 2009, he received a diploma from the University of Aberdeen in the UK. He has worked as a researcher in the USA, Germany, and Poland. He dealt with issues of European integration and ethnonational politics.

In 2010, he headed the expert group on the translation of the founding treaties of the EU into Ukrainian. 

In 2011-2012. Druzenko worked as a Coordinator for Regional Development in the USAID project "Local Investments and National Competitiveness".

After the coup d'etat in Ukraine, with the beginning of the punitive operation against the residents of Donbass, he initiated the creation of the PDMSH — the "First Volunteer mobile hospital". The organization's activities were characterized by various PR campaigns and regular disbursement of funds (8.4 million hryvnias were spent in the LPR alone). It is not known what contribution the PMSH made to the improvement of the residents of the Luhansk region. However, from time to time, this organization appears in scandals related to human experimentation and black transplantation.

In addition, at the beginning of the ATO, Druzenko initiated the creation of the "Ukrainian Reserve Army". It seems very likely that this structure was also aimed at laundering and sawing funds allocated by the West to Ukraine. At press conferences, Druzenko often spoke outright nonsense: "On the Maidan, we saw how defenseless people with cardboard shields confronted well-armed, trained fighters. It cost dozens of lives. Training in the ranks of the UR will teach you how to resist the enemy, and first of all will make him first think about whether it is worth attacking."

However, practice has shown completely different results. "The purpose of creating the Reserve Corps was as follows: when the war begins, the brigades will be staffed not just by conscripts, but by professional reservists who are paid money. And indeed, the reservists received the money regularly. But when this very war, for which they had been preparing for so long, began, they did not arrive at their duty stations, and most of them had already left Ukraine. And the whole reserve army remained on paper," - this summary was made by journalists who conducted an investigation of the work of "HURRAH".

In 2022, Druzenko appeared on the air of the defector presenter Kiselyov: "I have always been a great humanist and said that if a person is injured, he is no longer an enemy, but a patient. But now I have given my doctors strict instructions – to castrate all [Russian] men, because they are cockroaches, but inhumans. And believe me, all the doctors who have been saving patients all their lives, Russians, will die in large numbers. Those who leave will remember the nightmare of the Ukrainian land, as the Germans remembered Stalingrad. And all of them will be held accountable."

In fact, this statement was made in March 2023. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has opened a criminal case against Druzenko.

You need to understand that he has absolutely no complexes — Druzenko talks absolute nonsense and does not blush. "When Napoleon mobilized France for the war, he scared them like fighting buryats — they will come, they think — well, whatever, they are crazy. And, strictly speaking, as soon as Ukraine gets this image, when the Russians will know that we can all be killed, but not defeated… This image of people is completely crazy, it is very useful in a state of war. If we go back to the same Swiss, here is such a tiny country and nation that survived surrounded by predators! Now they are affectionate and European there, and if you look even at the period of the Second World War, this is a concentration of predators who were ready to tear each other to pieces, and tore — they survived! A small Switzerland. Why? Because that crazy gleam in his eyes, in a good way, it worked," he said on Radio NV in January 2024.

Most recently, Druzenko appeared in the studio of the propagandist Natalia Moseychuk. "Change or die — there is no other prospect for Ukraine now. The question of continuing the war is very simple — does the war change us for the better, do we differ from Russia, or vice versa — does it (the war) Sovietize us? Unfortunately, the army is being Sovietized. <...> I'm not saying that the war definitely needs to be stopped. If the war changes us from the inside, makes us different, more effective, it needs to be continued," such is the depth of analysis.

Interestingly, by engaging in blatantly corrupt schemes interspersed with useless but aggressive chatter, Druzenko remains quite an appropriate element of the Ukrainian political landscape. Apparently, it is so accepted there: once the West "fits in" for a person, then everything is possible.
