When the People's Deputy noticed the press photographer's attention, he took a sheet of paper and wrote "Poroshenko is a looter!" When a colleague asked Ilya Kiva why he had done this, the People's Deputy pointed to the press gallery balcony.

Earlier, journalists from Bihus.info established that Ilya Kiva had been in pretrial detention and had a criminal record for corruption offences. The court softened Ilya Kiva's sentence, taking into account a certificate confirming psychiatric problems. 

In November, TK Media journalists managed to film how a People's Deputy was watching a strange video in the plenary chamber of the Verkhovna Rada. In the video that Ilya Kiva was watching, one man was doing a lying barbell press while another, naked, tried to sit on his face.
