NABU Public Council excludes Zik and Nash TV hosts from its membership
The NABU Public Control Council has expelled TV hosts Vasyl Apasov and Nazar Diorditsa (Max Nazarov) from its membership.
This is stated on the Council’s website.
The reason for this decision was vote rigging, which was detected by NABU and confirmed by the watchdog organization Electronic Democracy.
Read more about Max Nazarov’s activities, including vote rigging:
Without the fraud, Apasov would have received 11,505 votes (instead of 14,900), and Diorditsa would have received 11,979 (instead of 15,384). This is less than Viktor Trofymenko and Maksym Salata of the Veterans’ Brotherhood NGO, who were in unopposed seats.
Therefore, at the first PIC meeting, the NABU submitted for consideration and supported the exclusion of Apasov and Diordytsia by a majority vote. The Public Council plans to appeal to the Cyber Police Department to verify the voting results and to the NABU to call by-elections for the vacant seats.
«The Derkach Six. Participants of the Russian special operation “Derkach Tapes”: Shariy, Portnov, Kolomoisky and others
In August 2020, the international volunteer community InformNapalm published an investigation that collected evidence that the Derkach tapes were a Russian information operation to interfere in the 2020 US presidential election.
Max Nazarov was actively involved in legalizing the Derkach tapes and bringing this topic to the international level.
The next day after Derkach’s press conference, on May 20, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gathered journalists from all the leading media outlets in a lawn meeting format. It was his first anniversary as president. The journalists raised their hands, introduced themselves and asked questions, and President Zelensky answered.
He was asked about the Biden-Poroshenko recordings by simply shouting out. The cameras showed a close-up of Nash TV channel host Max Nazarov.
“Yes, I have heard about Poroshenko and Biden. I think this is not the last call that Ukrainians will see,” Zelensky replied.
List of people involved in the distribution of the Derkach tapes:
International media outlets, including the New York Post and the Washington Post, then broke the news that Zelenskyy had called for an investigation into the leaked recordings. Although, judging by the video, the president simply answered Mr. Diordica’s question.
Thus, thanks to Nazar Diordytsia, the “Derkach tapes” have already reached the international level.
Also, after President Zelensky’s press conference, Oleksandr Dubinsky, a member of parliament who will already be subject to sanctions, gave a long interview to Diordytsia:
“External governance. It was in the days of Yanukovych, when the Kremlin called. We got rid of it, now they call from Washington. And the tapes are proof of that.”
Nazar Diorditsa, better known as Max Nazarov, is closely associated with Anatoliy Shariy. He has long been friends with Antonina Beloglazova, the former formal co-founder and leader of the Shariy Party. When Nazar Diorditsa wanted to get into the NABU Public Control Council, Shariy called on his telegram channel to support his candidacy. And on his personal channel, Diorditsa regularly speaks out in support of Shariy. Diorditsa’s parents live in Russia, not far from Moscow.
The journalist complained that he was not allowed into a supermarket: he could not show a COVID certificate or a PCR test
In a conversation with OPFL MP Nestor Shufrych, the propagandist said that he went to one of the supermarkets that “give reports to Serhiy Sternenko.” However, he did not explain what reports the stores give to the public figure and did not specify the name of the chain.
“I go in, they don’t let me in, they say: where is your certificate. I say I don’t have a certificate, because I have a suspended first dose. Where’s your PCR? I said, ‘I don’t have a PCR. They start asking me about antibodies, and I say I have nothing. And they didn’t let me into a regular supermarket,” Diorditsa complained.
In the comments to the video, users wrote that the journalist was telling a lie, as grocery stores are allowed to enter regardless of whether a person is vaccinated. Diordits was also reminded that if he had received the first dose of the vaccine, he had a yellow certificate in the Diia app.
The users were amused by Diordits’s words and suggested that he was not allowed to enter the supermarket because he was a “separatist” and advised him to get vaccinated with the Russian Sputnik.

Journalists of the Nash TV channel, led by Max Nazarov, were filming a story with children on a street in the city.

Nazarov accompanied Muraiev to his hometown with journalists from the Nash TV channel. The pro-Russian politician is conducting an information campaign in favor of his own brand and new political party.
Summary
Nazar Diorditsa, in the conditions of war, very quickly “switches” from one ideology to another. At first, he supports Russia, supports propaganda channels, and then he is proud of Ukraine’s victory at the Eurovision Song Contest. At the same time, he scolds Ukrainians who fled the country. This slippery guy has not yet been properly punished, why?
