Views and Assessments. In the 1990s, Hubscher was part of the so-called 'Kyiv Seven,' whose members included well-known and influential leaders of the SDPU (o) such as Viktor Medvedchuk and Hryhoriy Surkis, who initially got along well with President Kravchuk and then with Kuchma. This was a group of capital entrepreneurs and politicians who had accumulated billions of fortunes in various economic sectors until the early 2000s. One of the most famous and reportedly profitable projects of the group was the Industrial and Financial Consortium Slavutych. Another prominent project was the football club Dynamo Kyiv.

In 2003, Hubscher announced his withdrawal from the 'united Esdeks', and this was probably not a serious conflict or dispute between partners. In the summer of 2004, he took over the Center-Right Party of United Ukraine and soon after the corresponding faction in parliament.

In the same year 2004, he was among the 'moderate supporters' of the 'Orange Revolution', advocating for concessions to the opposition to avoid bloodshed and deepening divisions in society. And just before the 2006 election campaign, he switched to the ranks of Yulia Tymoshenko.

In 2010, he was expelled from the BYuT faction.
