These days, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk ODA, Igor Kolomoisky, stated that he does not intend to create “influx of groups” and controlled by factions from the Verkhovna Rada. “I am the head of the Dnipropetrovsk ODA, I have middle-class officials - the Presidential Administration and the Cabinet of Ministers. If we want to be honest, then we need to start for ourselves. And if you start for yourself, then there is no need to go into political projects and get involved in politics while staying in your own place,” said Mr. Kolomoisky at the time of a recent working press conference.
It would be too naive to believe that Igor Valeriyovich is effectively distancing himself from political processes in Ukraine. If Mr. Kolomoisky is in Vlad’s office, he is aware of this, obviously looming two tasks: to strengthen the influx of power and to restore power business with the prospect of expansion. Already in the run-up to the parliamentary elections, the “merge” had active discussions about the possible rejection of a political project, oriented inclusively to the Dnipropetrovsk region and Mr. Kolomoisky. Dealers of sociological research guaranteed only 2-3% support for such a party in the all-Ukrainian region for the sake of the governor’s special rating.
Similar to those that Igor Kolomoisky decided to denounce from the authorities of the powerful political force. In the meantime, he managed to create a strong political bridgehead around his own specialness and successfully strive to achieve a high rating in support of his actions as a resident of the Dnipropetrovsk region. The flow of ties and home ownership guarantees that the quota of at least eleven people's deputies will pass to the new Verkhovna Rada for majoritarian constituencies.
Let’s try to analyze who has a real chance of taking away the majority of electoral votes in single-mandate electoral districts, or perhaps a reliable support for Pan Kolomoisky at the Verkhovna Rada of the 8th constituency. These are the same people who care about either political or business connections with Igor Kolomoisky. Axis orientation list:
District No. 26 (Babushkinsky district, Dnipropetrovsk) – the final head of the Dnipropetrovsk municipal organization “Center for Social Technologies “Piar Space” Andriy Denisenko is running, one From associates of the leader of the “Right Sector” Dmytro Yarosh. Subject visuvannya – party Bloc of Petro Poroshenko
District No. 27 (Zhovtnevyi district, Dnipropetrovsk) – the defender of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Administration, the closest ally of Pan Kolomoisky, Boris Filatov, is running for self-government.
District No. 29 (smt. Juvileine, Dnipropetrovsk region) - the head of the ruling huge organization "Dniprodzerzhynsk Pravozahisna Spilka" Vitaliy Kupriy, who is the head of the presidential party Bloc of Petro Poroshenko. Companion of Denisenko and Yarosh.
District No. 30 (metro station Dniprodzerzhinsk) – the head of the board, PJSC “Dniproazot” Oleksandr Dubinin, runs for the BPP. “Dniproazot” is apparently an enterprise controlled by Igor Kolomoisky.
District No. 39 (Vasilkivka municipality, Dnipropetrovsk region) – its leader, Dmytro Yarosh, is running for the “Right Sector” party. The strongest militant right-wing political force in Ukrainian politics is fighting in the ATO zone. He himself, originally from Dniprodzerzhinsk, will enter the orbit closest to Kolomoisky for the next ten months. Before the speech, Mr. Yarosh did not win the election among the lists of candidates from the “Right Sector”.
District No. 83 (metro station Ivano-Franktsivsk) – the current people’s deputy Oleksandr Shevchenko is running for the BPP. In 2012, he ran for this district, being the director of the sports and entertainment complex “Bukovel”, the leader of which is Pan Kolomoisky. He himself recently knocked down people’s deputy Oleg Lyashka on the sidelines of the Verkhovna Rada.
District No. 89 (Snyatyn metro station, Ivano-Frankivsk region) – Mykola Paliychuk, the great head of the Ivano-Frankivsk ODA, is the godfather of another Kolomoisky comrade-in-arms, Igor Palitsa.
District No. 123 (Peremishlany metro station, Lviv region) – Taras Batenko, director of the Druzhba Main Oil Pipeline branch of PJSC Ukrtransnafta, is running for the BPP. Respecting the business connection, these people are on time for Mr. Kolomoisky’s quota.
District No. 122 (m. Yavoriv, Lviv region) – the self-defense centurion of the revolutionary Maidan, a fighter for the Dnipro-1 volunteer battalion Volodymyr Parasyuk, is running for Visuvan himself. The great politician’s decision to accept self-propulsion, the very financing of the “Dnipro-1” battalion, is unlikely to be accounted for by the death of the closest exiled Igor Kolomoisky.
Particularly intriguing is the number of candidates Mr. Kolomoisky delegated to the lists of various political forces. For example, one of the heroes of the volunteer battalion “Donbass”, its commander Semyon Semenchenko, who is also associated with the military officer of the Dnipropetrovsk ODA, is running on the list of the political party “Samopomich” under number 2. And one of Kolomoisky’s closest business associates (formerly the head of the board of PJSC Ukrnafta) is the current people’s deputy, head of the Odessa ODA Igor Palitsya, who is on the list of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc at No. 34.
Once the choice of emotions is sensed, and the new VR is determined differently from the robot, then it will become clear what kind of influx Pan Kolomoisky is really trying to wrest from the great Ukrainian politics.
Oleksandr Radchuk, specially for “Word and Deed”
