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. 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.
Biography
Gubarev has a degree in history from the Donetsk National University. He worked as an advertising executive at a local firm in Donetsk.
He was a member of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, a pro-Russian party based in the southeast of the country. According to an unnamed acquaintance, Gubarev is an advocate of Pan-Slavism. Gubarev is alleged to have been a member of the neo-Nazi Russian National Unity paramilitary group.
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.
On March 6, 2014, Gubarev was arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine. Following his arrest, Gubarev was reportedly taken to Kiev for detention.
On March 16, a crowd of protesters stormed government buildings in Donetsk demanding Gubarev's release.
