Alcohol Wars: Chebotarev and Prodivus

raider seizureChina had its opium wars. We've had our own alcohol wars. There was this extremely shady guy under Yanukovych named Chebotarev. It's unclear where he came from. There are hardly even any photos of him online. He was supposedly Ivanyushchenko's "overseer" of the alcohol industry. Yanukovych and Ivanyushchenko have disappeared, but many distilleries still belong to Chebotarev. Which is a bit odd. And interesting. Especially, who are they handing over the Tsar's share to now? A respected and mature Vinnytsia kid, also known as an amber baron, named Prodivus, has taken up this issue. He's a friend of the current head of the SBU, Gritsak. He bought a couple of deputies, pretended to be a volunteer battalion on vacation, and raided the distillery quite spectacularly. In my opinion, he did the right thing. The volunteer battalion members got 500 hryvnias per share. Prodivus — a factory. But it's not that simple.

Chebotarev reacted quickly and hired a Vorzel bandit nicknamed Cyclops (real name Tsikolenko) to settle this legal matter. Cyclops (a friend of Pluzhnik, the former head of Kyiv's UBOP) also hired other vacationing soldiers for 500 hryvnias each and raided the plant. The raider commander, a poet, ordered his troops to shoot to kill at the invaders. As a result, one was killed and another wounded. The raiders retained the plant. And thank goodness. But Chebotarev realized that while they had only seized one plant, they would soon seize them all. So, first, he ordered the identification and exemplary punishment of all those who had coveted his alcoholic goods. And then he began assembling an army of wicked people from both Ukraine and Russia. The goal was to recapture the plant and prevent the seizure of other plants. So, we're guessing there will be more shooting. In this regard, I propose that the MPs use their legislative brains and somehow confiscate Chebotarev's assets at the state level, but not hand them over to Prodivus. Instead, they should deal with him in a more state-like manner.
