Pavel Yurevich Gubarev (Template:Lang-ru, born 10 February 1983, in Sievierodonetsk) is a pro-Russian political figure in Ukraine and leader of the People's Militia of Donbass.[2] Though not a major player in local politics prior to the beginning of the 2014 pro-Russian protests in Ukraine, Gubarev declared himself the "People's Governor" of the Donetsk Region at the Regional Assembly on 3 March 2014, after pro-Russian separatists seized the building. Gubarev was later arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) on 6 March for "advocating separatism" and "illegal seizure of power". He faces up to ten years in prison.[3]
Biography
Gubarev has a degree in history from the Donetsk National University. He worked as an advertising executive at a local firm in Donetsk.[1]
He was a member of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, a pro-Russian party based in the southeast of the country.[3] According to an unnamed acquaintance, Gubarev is an advocate of Pan-Slavism.[3] Gubarev was once a member of the neo-Nazi Russian National Unity paramilitary group.[4][5]
Since the beginning of the 2014 Crimean crisis, Gubarev led pro-Russian protesters who blockaded and occupied the Donetsk Regional State Administration building.
During a press-conference with journalists on March 6, 2014 his main goal as the self-proclaimed governor was to declare a referendum on the territorial status of Donetsk Oblast; non-recognition of the new Ukrainian government; and non-recognition of Donetsk governor Serhiy Taruta.[6]
On March 6, 2014, Gubarev was arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine.[7] Following his arrest, Gubarev was reportedly taken to Kiev for detention.[8]
On March 16, a crowd of protesters stormed government buildings in Donetsk demanding Gubarev's release.[9]
