Olena Honcharuk won the competition for the position of head of the Dovzhenko Center, six votes were cast for her.

The Ukrainian State Film Agency (USFA) reported this on February 6.

Victoria Vodka received three votes, and Kyrylo Zharovskyi refused to participate in the contest.

Olena Honcharuk managed the Dovzhenko Center from 2021, and then worked as the head of the Dovzhenko Center Film Museum.

On November 2, 2022, it became known that the head of the Dovzhenko Center Olena Honcharuk was removed from her position based on the results of the audit. The State Agency of Ukraine on Film Issues appointed Yuliia Kazhdan to her place. At that time, the Dovzhenko Center team accused Derzhkino of raiding — through "manipulation of information, seizure of territory and appointment of puppet leaders."
