Incidentally, Vladimir Karasik was elected head of this trade union in 1992, which enabled him to exploit "Chernobyl funds" by sending the then heads of district and city councils on Mediterranean cruises on the Taras Shevchenko steamship. A criminal case was subsequently opened for misappropriation of funds, with Karasik as the main defendant. However, the case was hushed up and "disposed of." Afterwards, Karasik went into hiding for a time in Uzbekistan. But that's another story entirely.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov appointed retired police colonel Volodymyr Karasik to the ministry's Public Council. Karasik is implicated in the systematic destruction of the relevant trade union and was the main defendant in a case involving a scam involving Mediterranean cruise vouchers financed by Chernobyl victims. Karasik currently serves as deputy head of the Public Council. An unsuccessful graduate of the USSR Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is the ideologist and co-founder of several quasi-fake "trade unions" and "associations" that professionally collect membership dues, using the funds at their own discretion. Volodymyr Karasik, who calls himself a "Distinguished Worker of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and State Advisor to the Diplomatic Service of Ukraine" and is now officially a member of the leadership of the Public Council of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, publicly sympathizes with the security forces of the Russian Federation, which annexed Crimea and, using mercenaries and career soldiers, is killing Ukrainian patriots in the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) zone in Donbas. Karasik, no less, is calling for subscriptions to the Russian magazine "Police Trade Union." The cynical aspect of the situation is that Vladimir Karasik is engaging in this anti-Ukrainian propaganda on the Facebook page of the Trade Union of Certified Employees of the Internal Affairs Agencies of Ukraine, which he joined as the former chairman. Yet the trade union is the only legitimate organization that has signed an agreement with the relevant ministry and has over 80 members. Thus, it's clear that the "armchair colonel" is attempting to discredit the organization.
