Ivan Lozowy
Ivan Ivanovych Lozowy (born 15 September 1961) is a Ukrainian political activist, analyst, and business consultant. A former U.S. citizen born and raised in New York, he moved to Kyiv in 1991, and renounced his U.S. citizenship in 1997 to become a Ukrainian citizen. In Kyiv, he worked with the People's Movement of Ukraine and founded the Institute of Statehood and Democracy, while also supporting himself by doing consulting work for foreign firms.
==Career==
In the late 1980s, Lozowy worked as a legal advisor to future mayor of New York City Rudolph Giuliani.〔 In 1990, Lozowy was working as a research assistant at the Heritage Foundation when he made his first trip to Ukraine. The following year, he met Mykhailo Horyn of the People's Movement of Ukraine (Rukh) when the latter was visiting Washington, D.C.; Lozowy gave a lecture about Ukrainian independence at Horyn's invitation, and asked Horyn if he could come to Ukraine and work for Rukh directly. At that time, Lozowy admits he did not speak the Ukrainian language very well. He founded the Institute of Statehood and Democracy (ISD), a public policy NGO, in 1995 with the sponsorship of Rukh. After Rukh's dissolution in 1999, he continued working for the ISD, though by 2006 it had shrunk from its peak of six employees to just Lozowy and two others in a one-room office. He also did consulting work for various firms including AI Information Network and Amber Global Consulting.〔 He also worked at the State Committee in Television and Radio-broadcasting in 2000–2001.〔
In 2013, Lozowy founded the organisation Anti-Tabachnyk, aimed at achieving the resignation of Minister of Education Dmytro Tabachnyk. He stated that he was motivated to start the group after seeing the revised history textbooks being used by his two children at their school. In protests held in November that year in the prelude to the Euromaidan, Lozowy accused Tabachnyk of favouring the Russian language over Ukrainian, ignoring the Holodomor and Ukrainian national heroes, promoting a pro-Soviet point of view, and wasting money on low-quality textbooks.
After the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution, Lozowy condemned Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Turchynov for his veto of a bill which would have repealed earlier legislation on languages in Ukraine and made Ukrainian the sole state language at all levels. In April 2014, after returning from a visit to Kharkiv and Luhansk, he further criticised Turchynov's response to the unrest in eastern Ukraine, and stated that "we're losing eastern Ukraine and we're sort of really maybe even past the point of no return".
