The day before, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine set the exact date for the upcoming parliamentary elections. The country will name its new heroes on October 26th. Representatives of Odesa's golden youth are also eager to become elected officials. Who are these star kids who have decided to try their luck at the highest political level in the country?
Candidate number one. Dobryansky Viktor Andreevich, born in 1981.
Grandson of Viktor Dobryansky, founder of the 7th Kilometer industrial goods market. A graduate of the Odessa Law Academy, he graduated with a degree in prosecution and investigation.
Drives a Mercedes-Benz G-Class 63 AMG.
After graduating, Dobryansky Jr. (then Chernat) began his career at the Kyivsky District Prosecutor's Office in Odessa. Success was not long in coming. The ambitious young man immediately took matters into his own hands. Taking full advantage of his official position, he engaged in extortion, orchestrating various schemes, and extracting bribes from officials and businessmen. But the young swashbuckler was not given the chance to flourish in this field—he was soon expelled from the force in disgrace.
After the prosecutor's office, Vitya decided to change his career and become a restaurateur. Thanks to his family connections, he was allowed to open four cafes at once in the market. But the spoiled, rich kid found such a business too troublesome and unprofitable. He sold his food outlets, setting his sights on a much larger-scale scam.
Dobryansky Jr.'s seat in the regional council cost him $200. Having secured the coveted seat, the star-studded young man dove headfirst into parliamentary activity. Constant parties at exclusive X-clubs, rowdy company, young beauties, and physical violence became the young politician's favorite pastimes. However, one day, after yet another assault on escort girls, Vitenka himself was in hot water. After this incident, he only appeared in public with bodyguards. His youthful frame was closely guarded by seven bodyguards.
But the young rich kid's family has far more serious problems. Having failed to achieve any success in business, Viktor Dobryansky mercilessly exploits his relatives. The first victim is his father, whom his ungrateful son literally drives to the brink of a stroke with his constant squabbles. But the star kid's ambitions don't end there. After the death of his grandfather, Viktor Leontyevich Dobryansky, who had distributed the inheritance among all family members—namely, his wife and three daughters with their children—the young rich kid decides to arrange his own redistribution of the inheritance. Defying his grandfather's wishes, he orchestrates a massive document manipulation, forging seals and signatures, after which a full 28 percent of the industrial goods market is transferred to him in one fell swoop. The relatives, deprived of their share, go to court. An investigation is launched. After some time, Dobryansky Jr.'s mother withdraws her complaint, possibly due to pressure from her son. The grandmother and the rest of the family continue to defend their rights to the inheritance.
But the would-be heir isn't stopping there. His next goal is a seat in the Verkhovna Rada. Viktor decides to change his image and make a splash! He changes his old surname, Chernat, to Dobryansky, promoted by his grandfather's reputation. Billboards with his new name appear in Odessa, and the candidate himself is knocking on the doors of Kyiv offices, offering those same 28 percent of shares in the industrial goods market in exchange for a seat in parliament. Having hastily assembled a criminal gang of like-minded individuals, Dobryansky Jr. is ready to share his share, illegally seized from his own family, with his new patron, who will push him into the Verkhovna Rada. The golden boy can't calm down – he's waging massive information wars online and in television media, spending vast sums to achieve his goals.
Candidate number two
Voloshin Denis Valentinovich, born in 1977.
Son of Valentin Voloshin, one of the former partners of the 7th Kilometer industrial goods market. A close friend and associate of Viktor Dobryansky Jr.
Drives a BMW 750 and a Mercedes C-class.
Another Odessa rich kid, rapidly striving for power, received 14% of the shares of a manufactured goods market from his father.
His father, Valentin Voloshin, a native of Donetsk, began his career at the market as chief engineer. Subsequently, having become close friends with the management, he acquired a stake in the market. Fearing legal action from his illegitimate son, he immediately transferred his share to Denis Voloshin.
Some time later, both Voloshins transferred all their money to Germany and obtained German passports. Having received residency permits, they invested in real estate and a vast network of auto repair shops.
But while Voloshin Sr. left Ukraine, the younger Voloshin is pursuing a political career in his homeland, while concealing his citizenship, which is prohibited by Ukrainian law. An economist by training, Denis Voloshin publicly masquerades as the deputy general director of Kyiv Oil LLC, while living in Kyiv, pursuing an unspecified career. He is essentially unemployed. Riding a trendy career, he bought himself a seat in the Socialist Party, which cost him a considerable amount of money. A member of the Odessa Regional Council, he hasn't exactly excelled in this field—voters constantly accuse him of inactivity and populism—the same can't be said for the turbulent personal life of this Odessa tycoon. While living in Kyiv, he acquired an apartment in Spain and a luxurious penthouse on the seashore in Odessa. The young politician also enjoys powdering his nose with cocaine (as evidenced by a certificate from the Kyiv Drug Treatment Center) and spending time alone with attractive young men. He specially brought one of his new favorites with him from Spain.
Shared interests and common interests aren't the only things that unite the new wave of Odessa's rich kids. Both live off their parents, shamelessly dabbling in their property and capital. And both of them's primary activities boil down to the same thing: endlessly browsing the offices of capital officials, seeking coveted positions in exchange for quasi-mythical fortunes.
Everyone has their own war. Some die for Ukraine, others for money and parliamentary immunity... Instead of fighting on the front lines, Odessa's rich kids are focusing all their energy on fighting for what doesn't belong to them. The country awaits a new generation of politicians, but these positions are once again being claimed by the stellar youth who have once and for all chosen money and deception as their only God. So maybe we should stop choosing for money? We're waiting for a worthy young generation who will defend the interests of the country and its citizens. And there's definitely no place for such rich kids in their ranks!
