Anatoly Bashlovka
There's a category of people who aren't particularly burdened by the sins of the past, and certainly don't suffer mental anguish for their actions in the present. Their gaze is fixed on the future, painted in the colors of the dollar by their greedy imagination. Like viruses, they are in a process of continuous mutation. A virus doesn't question whether it's right or wrong; it simply adapts to new conditions in order to survive. If possible, in a favorable and comfortable environment. And it's hard to imagine a more favorable environment than a post-revolutionary state.
Our hero Anatoly Nikolaevich Bashlovka belongs to this category.
Anatoly Bashlovka is a politician, political scientist, lawyer, and public figure all rolled into one.
Born on January 18, 1973, in Kyiv, Ukrainian SSR. He graduated from Kyiv University of Trade and Economics. In 2006, he earned a second degree from Kharkiv National Law Academy. In 2011, he began practicing law and worked at the Ukrainian Legal Collegium, which advises the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine on legal matters.
It is not known exactly when Anatoly Nikolaevich realized that he could become the “happy heir to wealth unknown to him,” but one thing is clear: the educated and promising young man instinctively felt that there were people who controlled these national riches, and that he, with his knowledge, could be of use to them.
Throughout independence, each new government has been incredibly zealous in convincing careless citizens of the need to rid themselves of the legacy of the Soviet past. People are entertained by street renamings, monument demolitions, and themed television programs, debates, and rallies. Meanwhile, the elites are quietly appropriating the liquid legacy created by entire generations of our ancestors. The scheme is simple: the population is given semantic hallucinations. The elites are given the very tangible assets left over from that past.
How did Anatoly Bashlovka find his way into this scheme? In 2011, he became a legal advisor to the head of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine, Vasyl Khara.
Vasily Khara – trade union commander
According to the then Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Viktor Shokin (Read more about Viktor Shokin in the article Viktor Shokin. The Prosecutor "On Vacation") The FPU controlled approximately 300 state-owned properties, with an estimated value of 10 billion hryvnias, at a dollar exchange rate of 8 hryvnias. Even taking into account this approximate value and the exchange rate at the time, this was a significant sum.

Following an investigation conducted by the Prosecutor General's Office, 35 criminal cases were opened for the illegal alienation of sanatoriums under the jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Union of Ukraine (FTU). According to Viktor Pshonka, the plan was to sell over 25 properties in various regions, including Crimea. Anatoly Bashlovka actively defended the interests of the FTU leadership.

High-profile cases forced Vasily Khara to announce his resignation on November 7, 2011.
It's worth noting that, according to media reports, prior to his work as an advisor to Khara, Bashlovka was involved in several scandals. The first involved his involvement in the $30 million Halol plant's transfer to private hands for $2,5 million. The second involved legal manipulation.

As it turned out, Bashlovka's common-law wife, Maria Topolskaya, was part of the scheme. Clearly, such a "close" "acquaintance" between the lawyer and the judge could not help but develop into a fruitful collaboration, opening up broad prospects for career advancement. In other words, before he began consulting with the trade union leader, Anatoly Bashlovka had already acquired the necessary experience and was a sought-after "specialist" in a specific area of law.
It is noteworthy that a number of sanatoriums were never returned to the ownership of the FPU. On June 17, 2014, a people's deputy and trade union representative in the Verkhovna Rada Sergey Kaplin (Read more about Sergey Kaplin in the article Sergey Kaplin. Levochkin's "Project," aiming for opposition leadership) provided a list of objects that were illegally alienated and not returned to state ownership.
This turn of events is hardly surprising, considering the fact that already under the new government, in 2014, Mr. Bachun was appointed deputy to Prosecutor General Vitaly Yarema (Read more about Vitaly Yarema in the article Vitaly Yarema, "Honest Cop" and Sergei Dumchev's godfather) having worked in this post until February 2015.
Anatoly Bashlovka's political connections are no less interesting. Working in Vasyl Khara's team, Anatoly Bashlovka could hardly have been unaware of his right-hand man, former Party of Regions member Ihor Shkirya, who was familiar with all matters related to privatization at the FPU, a current MP and member of the "Revival" parliamentary group controlled by Ihor Kolomoisky.
Igor Shkyria – from the Party of Regions to Revival
During the 2014 snap parliamentary elections, then SPU council member Anatoly Bashlovka accused Mykola Rudkovsky of attempting to take over the party with the support of Sergei Levochkin.
The conflict even affected the “social activists” “defending” the interests of borrowers (see FINANCIAL MAIDANS - SIMULACRAS OF CIVIL SOCIETY)
According to the documents, Mr. Bashlovka was closely acquainted with the leaders of the Financial Maidan, Yulia Salo and Alexander Ivlev.
While the leader of the “Credit Maidan” Tatyana Rudenko relied on the support of Bashlovka’s opponent Nikolai Rudkovsky (see DOSSIER: Rudkovsky Nikolay Nikolaevich). Therefore, there is reason to believe that the conflict between Yulia Salo's "Financial Maidan" and Tatyana Rudenko's "Credit Maidan" may be connected to their support for parliamentary candidates Anatoly Bashlovka and Mykola Rudkovsky, respectively. The former SPU comrades were in conflict over Rudkovsky's expulsion from the party and accusations of collaborating with Sergei Levochkin (Read more about Sergei Levochkin in the article Levochkin. "The Gray Cardinal" and his sister). Thus, the long-standing acquaintance of Anatoly Bashlovka with Igor Shkirey, who is in the orbit of Igor Kolomoisky, on the one hand, and Nikolai Rudkovsky, who has ties to Sergei Levochkin, on the other, allows us to conclude that Bashlovka was used by Shkirey to serve Kolomoisky, while Rudkovsky attempted to take over the "Credit Maidan" in the interests of Sergei Levochkin.
Interestingly, Mr. Bashlovka also tries to establish himself as a "social activist," serving as a member of the NBU's Temporary Commission on Banks Classified as Insolvent. His longtime acquaintance, Mr. Ivlev, is also a member of this commission. Ms. Salo also takes a direct part in the discussion of pressing issues.
Judging by his frenetic activity, one gets the impression that Anatoly Nikolaevich is a multi-talented man, knowledgeable in politics, law, and finance. However, certain facts suggest that the ubiquitous citizen Bashlovka is an ordinary man, with his characteristic vices, who creates the illusion of his own importance and reaps dividends from it.
