History
The Greens Party was registered by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine on October 16, 2008. It was originally called Volia, and was based in Kharkiv. Businessman Hennadiy Anatoliyovych Fedorovsky was elected the head of the organization.
At the end of 2009, the party chairman resigned, and Oleksandr Prognimak, a well-known Kyiv businessman and official, a former member of the Party of Regions faction in the Verkhovna Rada, was elected as a new leader. At the same time, the party changed its name to "Green" and officially moved from Kharkiv to Kyiv.
