Biography[]

Early life and education[]

Serhiy was born on June 22, 1981 in the city of Zbarazh, Ternopil Oblast.

In 1997, he received 2nd place for the defense of scientific works of the Small Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Serhiy graduated from school with a gold medal and entered the Ternopil Academy of National Economy (now Ternopil National Economic University).

During his studies at the academy, Serhiy was an active participant of a number of youth organizations. Together with an affinity group, Serhiy established an informal union of "Artists".

Career[]

In 1998, Prytula passed casting for the position of a broadcaster and in January 1999 he appeared on "Radio Ternopil 106.1 FM" under the nickname "Siryi" - "Grey".[2] In 1999, Serhiy paid for a course in one of London's colleges and passed the first exam session externally. In 2000-2001, he studied in London.

Disappointed with studying, Prytula started working. He went through all the stages while working in London: from a builder and loader to a waiter and cook's helper.[2]

Having returning to Ternopil, he occupied the position of Student Dean of the Institute, and resumed work on "Radio Ternopil".[2]

Ever since 2017, he was a host of Vidbir, Ukraine's National Selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Comedy Club Ukraine[]

In 2006-2009, Serhiy was a resident of "Comedy Club", the participant of weekly parties and TV shows.[2] In "", he cultivated a sarcastic image, by sharply addressing Ukrainian celebrities.

Political career[]

Prytula took part in the July 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election with the party Voice, but election results allowed only 17 members of the party to become MPs, while Prytula was 30th.[3][4] He was a member of the political council of the party from April 2020 until February 2021.[5][6]

Prytula was the candidate of Voice for the post of Mayor of Kyiv in the 2020 Kyiv local election.[7][8] In the election he received less than 8% of the votes (in total he received 56,900 votes), securing third place but losing the election to incumbent Mayor Vitali Klitschko who was re-elected in the first round of the election with 50.52% of the votes.[9][10]

Prytula left Voice in June 2021, but emphasized that he did not leave politics.[11] He claimed the party had "moved so far away from our initial principles."[11]

Late September 2021 Prytula stated that he was working to create his own political party, he promised to provide details later.[12]
