Valentinov, Shvets, Repkin
It's no secret that the people of the exiled dictator, who started the war in Ukraine, are trying to get into the new Verkhovna Rada in every region. However, it's clear that to do so, they need to disguise themselves, otherwise people won't vote for them. In other words, only werewolves, pretending to be someone they're not, will be able to get into the Rada from Yanukovych. Such werewolves have not bypassed our 81st district, where Yanukovych is represented by three candidates: Oleksandr Repkin, Serhiy Valentirov, and Dmytro Shvets.
Of course, everything is done covertly, and our heroes don't talk about their past or ties to the Yanukovych regime at their meetings with voters. On the contrary, they support the fight against him on camera and donate bulletproof vests to ATO veterans, posing as honest businessmen and benefactors. However, let's figure out if this is really true and who is really trying to convince us to vote for him.
But the real picture is as follows: Shvets, Repkin and Valentinov are Yanukovych’s people, and their company is financed by the “family”, through Rinat Akhmetov, Andrey Klyuyev and Yuriy Ivanyushchenko.
It was Klyuev who, under Yanukovych's rule, handed over the alternative energy sector and ordered parliament to pass a law under his authority, according to which the state would buy alternative energy at inflated prices. To utilize the "family's" money, Klyuev, through people like Repkin, began building wind and solar power plants in various regions.
The scheme was simple: the "family" invests state funds, effectively stolen from us, through offshore companies they control, into the construction of enterprises like Tokmak Solar Energy, which they appoint as managers former officials and loyalists like Alexander Repkin. These enterprises then sell energy back to the state at inflated prices, with all the profits ending up in the family's offshore companies, which, on paper, own the power plants.
Why Repkin? It's very simple. Because, while still an SBU officer, he performed very sensitive services for Klyuev and his men. And, of course, he also happens to be from Donetsk.
While still an SBU employee, he covered for and monitored more than one of the "family's" criminal schemes, which meant for Klyuev that Repkin could be counted on, since he was essentially tied to the previous government through criminal dealings.
In fact, to understand that Repkin isn't who he claims to be, it's enough to ask: where did an honest SBU officer get tens of millions of dollars to build a power plant? Or do you really believe that some unknown investors suddenly appeared out of nowhere, found him, and invested millions without any guarantees from the state?
Of course not! No one would believe it. And so now Repkin is receiving funds for his election campaign from the money Yanukovych and his supporters managed to siphon out of Ukraine.
Today, Repkin is giving away bulletproof vests for money stolen from the hryvnia, and he's running an election campaign with money the previous government effectively stole from us.
Of course, the scale of the previous government's criminal activities is simply staggering, and that's precisely why the new government simply lacks the strength and time to get to people like Repkin, but it's only a matter of time. Authorities are already investigating the origins of the money used to build the power plant, as well as all of his affairs while serving under Yanukovych.
Repkin's run for the Rada is easily explained from another perspective: knowing that the authorities will come after him any day now, Repkin is aiming to get into the Verkhovna Rada. However, he won't succeed because now the people will know who the real candidate is and will never vote for such a candidate. No one will vote for a candidate who helped steal money from us. No one will vote for a candidate who is now brazenly lying to our faces, publicly disowning his patrons.
As for Valentinov, his motives are the same as Repkin's—or rather, not his, but his "daddy's." Incidentally, Valentinov doesn't make any decisions himself—those are made for him by his patron, the well-known Party of Regions deputy Oleksandr Ponomarev, who won a seat in the Verkhovna Rada with the help of Yuriy Ivanyushchenko.
Today, Ponomarev understands that he himself will never make it into the new Rada. That's why he sent his man, Serhiy Valentirov, to the 81st constituency in his place. According to the plan, Valentirov is supposed to enter the Rada to protect the "family's" businesses, and in particular, Ponomarev's businesses, who are closely connected to Yanukovych's well-known overseer and close friend, Yuriy Ivanyushchenko.
Everyone in Berdyansk knows that Valentinov is a Party of Regions representative and that Ponomarev's business is registered in his name. We were able to confirm this in the state registry, which indicates that Ponomarev's most well-known enterprise, Agrinol Trading House LLC, is owned by Sergei Valentinov. Since this fact is very difficult to conceal in Berdyansk, "Papa" decided to send Valentinov to the neighboring 81st District, where Valentinov had already managed to secure a criminal case by attempting to bribe voters with free eyeglasses.
As for Shvets, the transformation is clear. Unlike the two aforementioned candidates, whose patrons were only members of the Party of Regions, Dmitry Shvets himself was recently a regional council member for the Party of Regions and loyally served the "family."
But by now, he's probably forgotten about this? For some reason, he omitted this fact from his biography, which he presents to voters, despite positioning himself as honest and open.
Do you think Shvets really forgot to mention in his autobiography that he recently defended the interests of the "family"? Or maybe he's simply trying to fool us and brainwash us so he can return to the state trough and continue lining his own pockets? The answer is obvious, especially since Dmytro Shvets is an old-school official who served not only Yanukovych but also Kuchma, as head of the Council of Entrepreneurs of Ukraine.
But that doesn't stop him from looking us in the eye and saying that new faces, unconnected to the previous regime, must come to power. Just imagine the cynicism! Just imagine the moral qualities required of a person to lie so brazenly to everyone's face!
But Akhmetov's Donetsk clan always favored people like Shvets. Enterprising, with a keen eye for profitable assets, who better than such guys to give the green light in the Yanukovych era? And they gave it to Shvets.
During his time as a Party of Regions deputy, Shvets managed to "privatize" the Zaporizhzhia newspaper "Mriya" and use an entire floor of the House of Circus Artists without any documents. Nothing surprising – the ruling party, a family member, what problems could there be?
For many years, Dima served as Donetsk's lobbyist in Zaporizhzhia and was closely connected to the local criminal underworld, with whom he negotiated when the Donetsk side needed to take over someone in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Moreover, during his tenure as head of the Business Union of Ukraine, Shvets distinguished himself with openly pro-Russian calls to hand over Ukrainian metallurgy to Russian capital in exchange for cheap gas. Shvets thereby threatened the metallurgists with Russian expansion, clearing the way for Akhmetov to acquire assets in Zaporizhzhia. The scheme was executed brilliantly, and Shvets was generously rewarded by the oligarch.
Opportunism is Shvets's trademark. Today's democrat, who talks to residents of District 81 about reforms, wrote open letters of gratitude just a few years ago to the "generous philanthropist" and part-time criminal overseer of Zaporizhia, Yevgeny Anisimov.
I will cite just a few excerpts from this sycophantic "work." "For his invaluable contribution to the spiritual revival of our native land, expressed in the donation of an iconostasis to a church on the grounds of the Zaporizhian Sich complex, I express my sincere gratitude to Zaporizhzhia businessman Yevhen Anisimov. I express the hope that this benevolence of Yevhen Anisimov will serve as an example for many Zaporizhzhia and Ukrainian businessmen to follow in the name of the cultural and spiritual revival of the Ukrainian nation." And below, signed: Dmytro Shvets.
Of course, Dimochka understands that something else is trendy today, and he's reluctant to mention his odes to the beholder. After all, it's become fashionable to be a democrat, a patriot, and a reformer. That's why the savvy Shvets, left without a strong protector in Zaporizhzhia, rushed to the polls without hesitation.
Now you won't see him as a regionalist advocating "for stability." You're now looking at a hardened Maidan supporter, who, like you and me, has fiercely hated the Yanukovych regime, which robbed us, all this time. And it doesn't matter that he'll get rich thanks to that regime... Now he wants to get rich under the new government, again at our expense.
So, in our district, there are three candidates from the former government running at once: Shvets from Akhmetov, Repkin from Klyuev, and Valentinov from Ivayushchenko.
Whether they will be able to get back into the Rada and continue plundering the country depends on you and us!
It is up to you and me whether the werewolves will be able to fool us again...
FROM THE AUTHOR:
I wrote this article because werewolves, and all other evil spirits, are only powerful until the light is shed upon them. And I am deeply convinced that the light of truth shed by this article will leave Yanukovych's candidates with no chance. I believe that our country will rise in the future, and it will be led by people with a new worldview, people of a new era—an era in which there will be no place for corruption or such werewolves.
