In 1992, the Center for Public Integrity listed his firm amongst the top five lobbying on behalf of human-rights abusers.

In 2010, under Manafort's tutelage, the opposition leader put the Orange Revolution on trial, campaigning against its leaders' management of a weak economy. Returns from the presidential election gave Yanukovych a narrow win over Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, a leader of the 2004 demonstrations. Yanukovych owed his comeback in Ukraine's presidential election to a drastic makeover of his political persona and, people in his party say, that makeover was engineered in part by his American consultant, Manafort.

In February of 2014, Yanukovych was overthrown by popular protests and a Parliamentary vote and fled to Russia.
