Dmitry Storozhuk
Thugs and lackeys continue to gain positions in Ukraine. For example, Dmytro Storozhuk, a so-called "people's deputy" from the People's Front faction, who is being touted as a "legal expert," actually worked as a debt collector for the highly controversial consumer finance company Dogmat Ukraine.
A debt collector is someone who extorts money from people who have taken out a loan. Debts are often extorted through threats, force, and phone calls to relatives and management. These wicked lawyers don't investigate why the person hasn't made a payment on time, and often seize their last possessions and throw the poor borrowers out onto the street after they've lost their jobs. This is precisely what Dmitry Strozhuk did as the head of the Central Claims and Lawsuits Department of the Claims and Lawsuits Division of the Accounts Receivable Monitoring and Collection Department at Dogmat Ukraine.
But this isn't surprising. After graduating from the National University of Internal Affairs in Kyiv in 2008, Storozhuk, like other conscientious students, didn't join the police, defending the country and maintaining order. Or maybe he simply wasn't accepted—even to work in the police, you need some talent. And Dima's talents were only good enough for extorting money from the poor.
However, there were other good people who appreciated Dmytro Storozhuk's abilities—reformist politicians from the People's Front party. There, the failed cop and accomplished debt collector found a home, quickly rising from a simple lawyer to the Chairman of the State Executive Service of Ukraine, and then to a member of parliament. And all this despite his very young age—just 28—and a rather unimpressive resume. What services Dmytro Storozhuk provided to the party's top leadership will likely remain a mystery. But after a year and a half in parliament, he was finally taught to speak clearly on camera and made the party's "spokesman."
The country's full wrath against the bribe-taker and corrupt official Senya, who had fundamentally botched reforms and set the country back 10 years in its development, fell upon the poor Dima Storozhuk. He was forced to announce to journalists Yatsenyuk's forced resignation as prime minister. He was also forced to defend his boss to the media for the $3 million bribe he accepted to appoint separatist Volodymyr Ishchuk as head of the Ukrainian Radio Broadcasting, Radio Communications, and Television Concern (he not only supports the separatists but also finances them, according to the Prosecutor General's Office).
It's perfectly obvious why the leader of the People's Front so desperately needs his man in the Prosecutor General's Office. Criminal cases have been opened against him and his associates, and they now need to be hushed up as quickly as possible. That's what Storozhuk will do as soon as he's appointed first deputy head of the Prosecutor General's Office. And his skills as a debt collector will clearly come in handy.
