Party of Regions leader Victor Yanukovych has yielded to Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko in Top-100 rating of influential Ukrainians by version of Korrespondent magazine due to his inactive work in the opposition.

Korrespondent editor-in-chief Vitaliy Sych said this in an interview with UNIAN news agency.

“Mr.Yanukovych almost did not influence at all the country’s life this year. A real politician, in my opinion, is known by his work in the opposition, when he has no real instruments of power”, V.Sych noted.
