Konstantin Bryl
Like a bolt from the blue, the news broke in the Ukrainian media that the SBU, as it had recently done under Yanukovych, was once again appointing "overseers" over businesses in the regions. Kyiv City Council deputy Georgiy Yaroshenko traveled to Dnipropetrovsk and, gathering local businessmen, explained that he represented a "new cover" from the SBU and would collect the required percentage from them. Yaroshenko was quickly exposed, and a criminal case was opened against him, which SBU head Valentyn Nalyvaichenko personally oversaw. But there's a catch! The aforementioned Yaroshenko is a longtime business partner of SBU General-at-Large Kostiantyn Bryl, who served as First Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime of the Central Office of the Security Service of Ukraine from March to August 2014. By all indications, Yaroshenko acted on General Bryl's orders, as evidenced by their daily telephone conversations over the past several months. However, protecting criminal businesses in exchange for kickbacks is nothing new for General Bryl.
Even before joining the SBU, while working in the tax police, he actively collaborated with and covered for smugglers. He was even in cahoots with the notorious Vadim Alperin, co-owning the infamous vessel "Faina." He also extorted 800 hryvnias a month in taxes from the Odessa firm "Aliv" for several years. He devised and, for several years, executed a criminal scheme to siphon value-added tax from the Ukrainian budget on gas equipment sold at prices tenfold inflated. Then he became extremely brazen and escalated the businessman-protector relationship into regular extortion and racketeering. When the firm's director, Lyubov Ivchenko, refused to do business with him, he simply framed her, resulting in her imprisonment. Meanwhile, the "anti-corruption fighter" himself... Konstantin Bryl He was under investigation for various criminal cases as many as nine times (!!!). But thanks to high-ranking patronage, he successfully evaded responsibility all nine times. He held a huge number of positions, each marked by bribery scandals, and never held any of them for more than a year and a half. And now, sensing yet another danger, General Bryl has decided to "sit it out" in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine as a member of parliament.
The newly minted candidate, Bryl, has run for single-mandate constituency No. 93 in the Kyiv region. Naturally, he's an independent candidate. What party would nominate such a worthless nobody? The extortionist general Bryl is vying for parliament, claiming he's backed by the People's Front. He's lying! Only scoundrels of an even higher caliber—Pshonka, Yanukovych, Medvedchuk—could support, or rather, "protect," such a scoundrel. Donetsk-born Major General of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Tax Police, and State Advisor to the Customs Service of Ukraine, Konstantin Ivanovich Bryl, has spent his entire life in the service of the "sovereign." "Sovereign," because it can't be called state service at all. And all these years, Bryl, as it turns out, has served a very specific sovereign: Vladimir Putin. For which, in his early thirties, he received the rank of general from Viktor Medvedchuk, Putin's godfather and then head of the Ukrainian Presidential Administration. For what merits? And, more importantly, to whom?
Konstantin Bryl is hopelessly losing the election in constituency No. 93, and in his impotent rage, he goes berserk, revealing his true colors. First, he publicly and baselessly accuses his main rival of spying on his home and family (he mistook a 1+1 television crew filming a segment in the elite village of Pushcha-Voditsa for the program "Groshi" and "having the audacity" to approach the palace where Bryl, a modest civil servant, lives on several hectares of land). Then he completely transgresses all conceivable moral norms, organizing a nighttime arson attack on military equipment—vehicles of the Aidar Battalion (in the town of Kagarlyk, Kyiv Oblast), which were used to evacuate wounded Ukrainian soldiers from the ATO zone—and again tries to blame his main rival for this. In the current political circumstances, this act can only be defined as military sabotage against Ukraine! And the natural question arises: on whose side in the ongoing war with Russia is the parquet general-oligarch Konstantin Bryl fighting? And perhaps he deserves not a seat in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, but, under martial law, a field court and a fair sentence for a traitor?
Behind this fortress wall with its personal monograms lies the castle and estate of a modest civil servant, the “anti-corruption fighter” Konstantin Bryl.
The impostor Bryl is disguising himself as a patriotic candidate from the People's Front party.
Traitor General Bryl is fighting against his own people. The burned-out combat vehicles of the Aidar Battalion.
