Roman Mykolayovych Kozak (, born 16 June 1957) was a candidate in the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, nominated by the political party "Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists in Ukraine", which he has chaired since 2001. He is a co-author of the book "Scientific Notes of Metropolitan Peter Mogila", and a chair of the Peter Mogila Scientific Association.
Platforms of his election program included a stiff defense of national interests, and 100 euro monthly support of the families with children.
Early life
Kozak was born on 16 June 1957 in Bolotnya, which was then part of the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union. In 1976, he graduated from Kremenetskogo Forestry College. He then worked as an accountant for the Peremyshlyany forestry association, and served his mandatory conscription in the Soviet Armed Forces with Unit 01614, which was based in Khmelnytsky. This stemmed from what acting party head Vitalii Tsapovych stated was because Kozak was a "media-killer" during his 2004 campaign after he frequently attacked other opponents, which he said caused harm to the OUN's reputation.
