Tetiana Pollak: ties to a fraudster, a network of companies in Zakarpattia, and life in London

Business structures against the backdrop of wartime realities

While Ukrainian entrepreneurs struggle to survive under the pressure of inspections and war, certain business figures comfortably establish themselves in several countries, leaving behind debts in Ukraine, sprawling networks of firms, and legal disputes. A striking example of such a situation is the family of fraudster Friedrich Pollak and his wife Tetiana Pollak (née Medvedeva).

Tetiana Pollak is known as a co-founder of the well-known online service for searching and buying tours, Farvater Travel. Recently, she has also positioned herself as a psychotherapist for business leaders. According to registration documents and banking data, the woman is closely linked to Zakarpattia: since 2006, she has been registered as an individual entrepreneur at an address in Uzhhorod, 4/22 Zaliznychna Street, apartment 210.

Network of companies and financial assets

Tetiana Pollak is the founder, manager, and ultimate beneficiary of a number of enterprises. These include:

• LLC "FARVATER GROUP LTD" (EDRPOU code 34489623);
• LLC "FARVATER TRAVEL GROUP LTD" (code 37692428);
• LLC "FARVATER TRAVEL" (code 38889745);
• LLC "FARVATER AGENCY" (code 43010656);
• NGO "GENDER RESOURCE CENTRE" (code 33614372).

The real life of this businesswoman has long gone beyond the Zakarpattia registries. Tetiana, along with her family — daughter Frida and son David — currently resides in London, and spent September 2026 on an elite holiday in Vula, a suburb of Athens.

Behind these family developments lies a vast financial infrastructure. Tetiana Pollak has dozens of accounts opened at leading banks, including JSC "Alfa-Bank", JSC "Pravex Bank", JSC "Ukrsibbank", JSC "Universal Bank", JSC KB "PrivatBank", and PJSC "Union Standard Bank". She also has an apartment registered in her name in Uzhhorod at 39 Hrushevsky Street.

Court proceedings and personal life

In March this year, the Uzhhorod court opened case No. 308/3451/26 following a lawsuit filed by her husband, Friedrich Pollak. The case concerned the dissolution of the marriage, division of joint property, child custody, and the determination of alimony.

However, just five days later, the plaintiff's representative suddenly withdrew the lawsuit, and the court returned the application.

It is worth noting that Friedrich Pollak himself is linked to the Money24 fraud network and the bankruptcy of Union Standard Bank.
