A former U.S. citizen born and raised in New York, he moved to Kiev permanently in 1991, and renounced U.S. citizenship in 1997 to become a Ukrainian citizen. In Kiev, 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. CareerIn the late 1980s, Lozowy worked as a legal advisor to future mayor of New York City Rudolph Giuliani.[1] 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.; Horyn gave a lecture about Ukrainian independence at The Heritage Foundation's invitation, and Lozowy 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 1996 with the assistance of Rukh. After Rukh's having split up in 1999, he continued working for the ISD, though by 2006 it had downsized 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.[2] 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.[1] 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.[2] 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Revolution, Lozowy condemned Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Turchynov for his veto of a bill which would have repealed earlier legislation on languages in Ukraine and made Ukrainian the sole official language at all levels.[3] In April 2014, after returning from a visit to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".[4] In the summer of 2014 Lozowy fought with the Aidar battalion against the Russian incursion into eastern Ukraine in the Luhansk oblast and went on a mission to Krasniy Yar, in the outskirts of the city of Luhansk, on August 3, 2014.[5] Thereafter he created the "Friends of the Aidar Battalion" group on Facebook and assisted the battalion doing volunteer work and with equipment.[6] Personal lifeLozowy was born in 1961 in New York City to parents Ivan Hryhorovych (1927–1983) and Liudmilla Elizabetivna (born 1936).[7] He grew up in New York, where his mother still lives,[8] and went on to attend the New York University School of Law, graduating in 1986. The following year he went on to study international law at the Panthéon-Assas University in Paris.[9] He is married to Olena, a schoolteacher, with whom he has two children, Oleksandra and Lyudmila.[9] Soon after moving to Ukraine, Lozowy decided that he wanted to settle there permanently, and began researching the procedure to obtain Ukrainian citizenship. He swore the Oath of Renunciation of United States Citizenship in 1997.[8] Lozowy's choice made him one of the first former Ukrainian Americans, along with Roman Zvarych, to renounce U.S. citizenship in favour of Ukrainian citizenship.[10] In interviews, Lozowy has stated that he is proud of his citizenship, because it helped him to feel closer to the people of Ukraine and to fight against "the anti-national activities of the government".[11] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.wz.lviv.ua/ukraine/123106|title=Іван ЛОЗОВИЙ: "Наш основний метод боротьби – заяви"|trans-title=Ivan LOZOWY: 'Our main method of struggle – declarations'|work=Vysoky Zamok|date=2013-06-03|accessdate=2014-03-04}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://nbnews.com.ua/ua/news/105541/|title=Активисты представили "список преступлений Табачника" и устроили перформанс с казнью|trans-title=Activists present 'list of Tabachnyk's crimes' and stage mock execution|work=Nezalezhne News Bureau|date=2013-11-18|accessdate=2014-03-09}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.pohlyad.com/news/n/40692|title="Законом «Про мови" ми намагаємось сподобатись тітушкам і російським націоналістам», – експерт|trans-title='With Law on Language, we are trying to please titushky and Russian nationalists'|work=Novy Pohlyad|date=2014-03-04|accessdate=2014-03-20}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.rferl.org/content/ukraine-lozowy-interview-corruption-east/25351904.html|first=Daisy|last=Sindelar|title=Interview: 'We May Already Be Past The Point Of No Return'|work=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty|date=2014-04-16|accessdate=2014-04-22}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.radiosvoboda.org/a/26519179.html|title=«Війна війною, а для когось це мати рідна» – Лозовий про функціонерів|last=Ваннек|first=Людмила|newspaper=Радіо Свобода|access-date=2016-12-22}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/FriendsOfAidar/|title=Друзі батальйону "Айдар" Public Group {{!}} Facebook|website=www.facebook.com|access-date=2016-12-22}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://party.civicua.org/b0044884.htm|title=Лозовий Іван Іванович|trans-title=Lozowy, Ivan Ivanovych|publisher=Political Compass|accessdate=2013-12-07}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://www.kyivpost.com/guide/about-kyiv/word-with-ivan-lozowy-25121.html|first=Larissa|last=Babij|title=Word with Ivan Lozowy|work=Kyiv Post|date=2006-09-27|accessdate=2014-03-09}} 9. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://gazeta.ua/articles/opinions-journal/_v-ukrajini-nemae-na-kogo-pracyuvati-i-za-kogo-golosuvati/435842|title='В Україні немає на кого працювати і за кого голосувати'|work=Gazeta.ua|date=2012-05-17|accessdate=2013-12-07}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.ukrweekly.com/old/archive/1998/219809.shtml|first=Roman|last=Woronowycz|title=Roman Zvarych, former New Yorker, now Ukrainian parliamentarian|work=The Ukrainian Weekly|date=1998-05-24|accessdate=2013-02-24}} 11. ^{{cite news|url=http://news-day.com.ua/society/2632/|title=Большинство украинцев гордятся своим гражданством — исследование|trans-title=Most Ukrainians proud of their citizenship — survey|work=News Day Ukraine|date=2011-08-25|accessdate=2014-03-09|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140309070819/http://news-day.com.ua/society/2632/|archivedate=2014-03-09|df=}} External links
