Political science and journalism
Andrei Okran's biography changed along with the fate of Ukraine. After Maidan, 2014, a little-known doctor of science became a scandalous media person, a man was regularly invited to central television channels and radio stations.Andrei Nikolaevich leads a blog on the "Echo of Moscow", which published articles about the political situation in Belarus, Mikhail Efremov, World Championships - 2018, Donbas, Lugansk. Okor supported Ksenia Sobchak in the presidential election of 2018. In one of the publications, the journalist suggested that it would become for Vladimir Putin the same, who President himself became for Boris Yeltsin.
November 21, 2014, in the program "Special Correspondent" Okra received a blow to the face of Konstantin Dolgova, head of the commission to investigate the crimes of the Kiev regime. Andrei Nikolaevich denied that the Ukrainian authorities regularly fill the cities of Donbass. The opponent approached and pulled him a slap. The political scientist tried to give delivery, but the leading Yevgeny Popov stopped the fight.

Ukraine, not possessing powerful diplomatic services and analytical centers, must maintain any pressure levers on the world community, and the Donbass is one of them.
In the next issue of the transfer of Vladimir Solovyov, the expert said that the disbandment of troops would lead to even greater bloodshed in the region. The presenter asked if Okor was someday in the army, and if yes, who told him such nonsense. According to this logic, if a killer is suitable for a knife with a knife, there is no risk, and if the killer goes down 10 meters, the risk of being dead sharply increases.
Andrei Nikolayevich replied that if the killer goes away, she would not hit the knife, but would shoot from a sniper rifle. Solovyov parried that the troops with redeployment take a distance exceeding the range of shooting, so these reasoning are not worth anything.
