How Georgian "reformers" are building a Bolshevik Ukraine
To begin with, a question: why is the election of the President of Ukraine in the first round a testament to the high literacy and incorruptibility of Ukrainian citizens, and why, among these same millions of Ukrainians, were there no literate and incorruptible patriots capable of leading ministries, law enforcement agencies, or other central agencies?
And related questions:
— Who and why is humiliating Ukrainians by imposing "outsiders" on them?
— Are foreign "reformers" truly a boon to the Ukrainian nation, or is this a political project thickly slathered in PR?
Let's think and reflect. Is it fair, dear fellow citizens, that we've been branded as corrupt woodpeckers to the whole world?
The Budapest Memorandum does not contain the word "if"
I'm reading the Budapest Memorandum on the surrender of the Fatherland's nuclear shield and listening to today's top politicians, both domestic and foreign. My personality seems to be splitting into two. I anxiously leaf through psychiatric reference books. We're done! Split personality is one of the signs of schizophrenia. Who should be sent to the madhouse? Me, or those who wrote the Memorandum and are still failing to implement it?
In response to Ukraine's renunciation of nuclear weapons, the signatory states pledged back in 1994 to "respect the independence, sovereignty, and existing borders of Ukraine." What's the catch? Crimea is cut off. A neighboring nuclear state rules there. It's a similar story with part of Donbas. And yet they keep telling us about terrorists and diplomacy!
Good citizens, can anyone imagine terrorists who have hidden in their caches... Grads, 120-millimeter howitzers, tanks?
Come on, diplomats, we're not at a reception at the embassy!
On what page of the Budapest Memorandum is the Minsk Agreements mentioned? Which paragraph stipulates that pensions should be taxed and utility rates raised in Ukraine, which has been subjected to aggression? It's stated differently: "To refrain from economic coercion aimed at subordinating Ukraine's exercise of the rights inherent in its sovereignty to its own interests and thereby securing any advantage."
The Memorandum doesn't even contain the word "if"! Meaning, if Ukraine doesn't do this, the Memorandum will stall.
Then take a fighting stance, gentlemen Westerners, and stand back to back with the Ukrainians. Fulfill the agreements without any additional conditions!
…And on television, from morning until night, they tell us what other positions my compatriots must bend over backwards to get the West to believe us, love us, and begin to answer for “the Budapest Bazaar.”
Or maybe it's different? Maybe, having disarmed the country, they're talking to us based on the principle that the strong always blame the powerless? Don't honest people realize that in today's massacre—pardon the expression—the ATO, the West is shamelessly using our country in its dispute with Russia over who's boss?
Offensive? Humiliating? But let's face the truth!
The establishment of a national personnel department at the US Embassy is also in the same vein. Only the country's top officials are unaware that it is from there that foreign "overseers" have been appointed to Ukraine. For the rest of the country, it's long been an open secret!
According to media reports, there are approximately two hundred Georgian State Department "chicks" in leadership positions in the country.
Why? Isn't it because we're not related to them, and their mothers weren't born in Ukraine, and they shouldn't be looked in the eye.
Not every foreign cook can run a country.
We live in a world of high technology. It permeates both life and everyday life. For example, when there's nothing to feed one's stomach, political technologies are tapped into one's brain. Their main task is to find an enemy figure and fill them with fairy tales about how much more plentiful food will be tomorrow if one tightens one's belt today. And to achieve this, it's not a sin to kick not only one's own person but also the laws of the host country. After all, one's country is not one's homeland!
Alas, our compatriot is enjoying himself with PR. What else can he do?
Judge a man by his actions, the Bible teaches.
…I don't want to delve into the conflict between Health Minister Alexander Kvitashvili and his opponents. Because it's all PR on both sides. I'm looking at the facts. And here they are: while just a couple of years ago people brought their own medications to hospitals, today relatives are bringing cotton wool and disposable syringes to medical facilities.
Those without relatives are doomed. And the average person couldn't care less what medical truth Kvitashvili, a historian by training, is seeking! In the eyes of the average person, he doesn't need such a minister. Be he Georgian, be he Puerto Rican!
But it seems to me it would be wiser to find a local specialist. Honest, professional, and decent. Someone who could look both your mom and your neighbor's mom straight in the eye.
We have such specialists in our country! Let's trust them, and instead of searching for enemies and telling stories of a bright future, people will simply get sick less often, recover faster, and live longer. The health of our citizens is the only argument and criterion for the integrity and professional competence of a Minister of Health!
…I'm looking at the PR surrounding the current Eka Zguladze police force—it's like I'm attending a fashion show. How well-groomed and clean they are, these current police officers, driving around the city in supercars with flashing lights, like they're at Disneyland…
And they praise them on TV, saying they don’t take bribes and even fine deputies.
And in the country, crime is rampant. Armed men roam the streets. People are being maimed with combat grenades near the Verkhovna Rada. Offices and cafes are being blown up, and terrorist attacks are taking place…
I don't need fashionable police officers! I don't pay taxes for their outfits. I pay taxes so I can live without fear.
And don't count the number of MPs fined on your fingers. Just give me two figures: six months ago, the crime rate was so-and-so, and now it's lower. Then I'll believe it—our own Ministry of Internal Affairs is handling the matter! But for now... I'm forced to install new locks on the door and avoid poking my nose into the city center unless absolutely necessary.
And don't appeal to the all-justifying "long arm of Putin"! They've learned to cover up any mess with the Kremlin's machinations. We must be honest: when a country—any country!—has sky-high unemployment, when refugees have no roof over their heads and nothing to feed their families with, when businesses are idle and wages aren't being paid, when the hryvnia has sunk to the point of shamelessness... And dozens more of today's "whens"... A rise in crime is inevitable, no matter what Putin! That's an axiom, gentlemen!
What's the solution? Get the economy going, keep people busy, provide income, not rearrange beds and write memoirs on Facebook.
Ukraine doesn't need foreign specialists splattering labels on the sides of official cars and staging a police fashion show. We need peace and order in squares and streets, parks and back alleys. We need security! That's the right criterion and argument that the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in the right place.
Do we have such national professionals? Absolutely!
...It's no coincidence that I wrote specifically two positions – both national and professional. Because in the case of the police, it's not just Georgian fashion designers who are destroying the system, but also national non-professionals! As a result, the minister, commenting on the terrorist attack near the Verkhovna Rada, doesn't even know what kind of grenade killed people... I'll explain especially for Arsen Borisovich: a defensive hand grenade (RGO) is an anti-personnel grenade of insanely lethal force! Many times greater than the infamous "limonka grenade." Body armor won't protect against one of these. The only way to protect against one of these is to take cover. That's why there are so many casualties. Whoever planned the terrorist attack knew this well, but the Minister of Internal Affairs doesn't know and is asking the military. I'm very afraid that with such "professionals," RGOs, like pigeons, will begin flying around our cities and villages. And they'll kill, kill!!!
…I’m just itching to ask: what regiment did you serve in, sir?
But the minister is busy. He lives on Facebook. The minister dresses police officers as cops, calls on Putin for help, and—well, he's doing his PR...
However, both Kvitashvili and Avakov in tandem with Zguladze are mere children compared to the master of self-promotion, Mr. Mikheil Saakashvili.
Put three friends in a room and tell them a lie.
Mikheil Nikolozovich took his life's motto from the late Lee Kuan Yew, renowned for his work on Singapore's "economic miracle." He loved to talk about his methods for fighting corruption: "Start by locking up three of your friends. You know exactly why, and they know why."
Given that Mr. Saakashvili is wanted in his Georgian homeland, it's entirely possible he might find the time to explore in more detail the Singaporean idol's political and economic tools, as detailed by American writer William Gibson in his article "Disneyland with the Death Penalty," published in Wired magazine and instantly becoming a bestseller.
American Gibson has clearly exposed the authoritarianism and cynicism of the miracle worker Kuan Yew, his draconian judicial system, and his inhumane prison conditions. Apparently, this is why the supposedly "one hundred percent" democratic Singaporean government immediately banned the popular magazine "Wired."
Having fled the "hospitable" Singapore in horror, William Gibson ends the publication with the words: "I loosened my tie as I left Singapore airspace."
…Today, Mikheil Saakashvili is busy with PR. He makes jokes on television talk shows, smiling broadly, describing in Georgian and Ukrainian the democracy he built in Georgia, and admonishing Ukrainian politicians. However, every now and then, he slips up. Apparently, colleague Yu's science is crying out for a way out. Either his soul yearns for space, or the time has come to work, but the Odessa region is too cramped for him.
Under the gaze of television cameras (apparently a coincidence), he "accidentally" finds himself at the epicenter of a parliamentary election battle in the distant Chernihiv region. And he immediately makes it clear: the former Georgian president respects the parliament elected by Ukrainians with all his heart. Therefore, again in front of the cameras, he calls the current MP, in a fatherly manner, a... bastard...
The strap came off - he's bossing around and being rude!
Or something else. As we know, Mr. Saakashvili was recently appointed governor of the Odesa region. From the start, of course, he kicked into high gear with his PR. And then, in front of the cameras, he publicly fucked the regional prosecutor. And who cares that the Ukrainian Constitution and law dictate the opposite!
And Saakashvili, without having built, as they say in Odessa, a doghouse, from every platform lectures the rest of the country's governors on "a new way of life."
The Odesa leader's unbridled broadcasting ability is like a radio station in a rural hut, aptly nicknamed "the liar." It didn't take long for Saakashvili's Caucasian profile to become the hallmark of every media outlet imaginable.
In September, Focus (https://focus.ua/country/336570/) published a lengthy interview with Mikheil Saakashvili. Saakashvili tried his best to be candid. And he did. And the journalist proved diligent. And Saakashvili's "revelations" became public. Read on.
About PR. A journalist tells his interlocutor that, according to a survey by the European Institute of Social Communications, a third of Odessans believe that Saakashvili is engaged in self-promotion as governor. "Did you know this?" the journalist asks. "Yes, we do public relations. People should know what we do every hour..." the governor replies enthusiastically... Apparently, he fails to understand that "public relations" is, first and foremost, a dialogue aimed at HEARING PEOPLE. Self-promotion, on the other hand, is a monologue with a completely different purpose—IMPOSING YOUR OPINION ON PEOPLE.
When it comes to imposing and decorating, Saakashvili is an expert!
Let's read on. About beautiful promises and the responsibility for what you say.
The Odessa governor likes to boast that he'll build the Odessa-Reni highway in the region, and Odessans will live in luxury. "The old road is practically destroyed, although we plan to restore it by next summer. Meanwhile, we must build a new highway to Bucharest within three to four years, no matter what."
Remembered the numbers? Let's move on. Inquiring about Mr. Saakashvili's career prospects, a Focus journalist asks, "Will you remain head of the administration and then become prefect?" "I believe prefects won't be appointed in the regions for at least two or three years. I don't think I'll stay in Odessa that long," Mikho says frankly. And, catching himself, "But in any case, I'll be here long enough to complete projects related to highway construction, infrastructure development, and the creation of a new customs office."
When did he lie? Blather about highways and then run away? Unanswered questions. The reader is left to speculate. Want my opinion? I'm ready. Considering the effectiveness of this brilliant virtual agent's work, God willing, they'll patch up the old road. And what about a modern highway? The current governor's rhetoric regarding that will likely shift its focus. From other platforms, Mikheil Saakashvili will continue to chew on his ties, saying that the people of Odessa didn't listen to him and now they're driving over potholes to Romania. And he so passionately called for the construction of a New Vasyuki in a separate region...
Words are just words. Projects are just projects. Fables are just fables... But what has Governor Saakashvili actually accomplished in over 100 days on the job? I emphasize: my question isn't about what was PROMISED, but what was DONE? The governor took a ride in a minibus with the people of Odessa. He got out, adjusted his collar, and then it was back to New Vasyuki. He professes to journalists, saying he shares a common life with the people and shares their problems.
Aha! A real people's sufferer!
But the locals never saw their beloved governor again in the crowded minibuses. He'd had his fill of publicity, and then he was off to his personal car. Democracy for everyone.
Is there really no one who can put this upstart in his place and make him do his job instead of aping in front of the cameras?
Inquisitive Odessans must be curious to know how he implemented the teachings of the Singaporean miracle worker Yu during his time in Tbilisi. What awaits Odessans?
It is not I who said: history teaches that it teaches nothing.
At one time, Georgia's ex-communist leader, Eduard Shevardnadze, cherished the obedient and affectionate youth Mikho. Saakashvili was maturing. His appetites were growing. His political orientation was shifting. New patron fathers and new idols emerged.
Those close to him at the time recall that Saakashvili received instructions (along with dollar envelopes) directly from the United States. He carried them out. He reported back. And he rose through the ranks of betrayal.
By the way, Mr. Saakashvili still honors his overseas mentors. I would say he doesn't just honor them, he even admires them. In a recent interview with Focus (https://focus.ua/country/336570/), which we quoted, in response to a journalist's question about Saakashvili's statement that "the main separatists in the Odessa region are policemen. They're a whole army of armed men. What do you do with them?" The governor's commentary was startling. He literally said, "It's hard to call them an army. They're more like a well-organized criminal syndicate... You know what I noticed? Many of them contemptuously refer to Americans as 'yarks,' repeating Russian propaganda word for word."
So, reader, now it's clear why Odessa police are an "organized crime syndicate"? Because Americans are called "yarkos"! If only Mikho knew what they call him in Odessa... Should I write this or do without the obscenities?
And then the romantic advice of the Singaporean Yu clouded my head. He specifically pointed out the shortest path to ruling the country: "Jail your friends!"
In Georgia, as a warm-up, Mikho started with a mentor-boss. Shevardnadze was ousted from the leadership with a bang and bloodshed. And to quell his outrage, the new Georgian president gave political sanction to the arrest of Shevardnadze's son-in-law, Georgiy Jokhtaberidze, head of the mobile phone company MagtiCom, according to RIA Novosti-Ukraine (https://rian.com.ua/view/20150212/363393497.html). "Shevardnadze's son-in-law was arrested on February 20, 2004, and released from pretrial detention on April 26. His freedom cost $15,5 million."
Very soon, Tbilisi realized that instead of FIGHTING corruption, Saakashvili's team had set a course to LEADERING corruption!
RIA Novosti-Ukraine quotes Niko Lekishvili, Chairman of the Union of Large Taxpayers of Georgia: "Our business elite developed a fear syndrome. Unofficial payments were made, taxes were set by customs officials, tax officials, and police officers, and the budget suffered."
Unfortunately, this story is clear to Ukrainians.
How did the “team of Georgian reformers” achieve their goal?
Taras Bulba did not play Cossack in Singapore
President Mikho didn't reinvent the wheel. If only because he doesn't know how. He simply took Singapore's Asian methods and applied them to European Georgia.
…I read a publication on the internet called “GRUZINFORM: “Go to Tbilisi and ask – who was Sakvarelidze before the Maidan!” 
(https://stuki-druki.com/marazm/Sakvarelidze_zamestitel_genprokurora_Ukraini.php).
Without offering any judgment, I'll just summarize a few excerpts. The discerning reader will be able to discern them.
I'll note one thing: I'm afraid for the residents of the free Odessa region if the same methods are copied by the current governor in the coastal capital of Ukraine.
But it would be a thousand times more terrifying if something like this were to reign throughout the Fatherland! There were precedents. The Soviet Union, from which we emerged, was already commanded by the Georgian Joseph Dzhugashvili – better known as Comrade Stalin. Read and think. Doesn't it strike you, dear readers, that both the Singaporean Lee Kuan Yew and Comrade Mikheil Saakashvili weren't innovators at all, but talented students and followers of the Georgian communist-Bolshevik Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin?
I quote excerpts from the publication.
"Things in Georgia are still bad today, thanks to those sheltered from Georgian justice in Ukraine. From 2003 onward and throughout the subsequent nine years of the National Movement's rule, President Saakashvili and his Western friends promised Georgians MOUNTAINS of gold, just as they are promising Ukrainians today, but they delivered only WOE..."
What advice can Saakashvili and his group give to Ukrainians, who left Georgia without 20% of its territory and with 500,000 refugees? With an external debt of $14 billion, 370 million, 400 thousand dollars, unemployment, poverty, and pensions five times lower than the subsistence minimum? In Saakashvili's Georgia, there were more than 200,000 prisoners (under Shevardnadze, about 8,000; under Gamsakhurdia, 5,000), more than 20,000 of whom were horribly and humiliatingly tortured in prisons and filmed; thousands died in their cells, unable to withstand the torture, or became crippled for life; More than 200 were killed on the streets, mostly young men like Girgvliani, Vazagashvili, and Robakidze, or, with Saakashvili's sanction, under unknown circumstances—like Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania and billionaire Badri Patarkatsishvili. And now there's talk of Saakashvili's interest in the recent mysterious death of former Georgian Economy Minister and billionaire Kakha Bendukidze, who was tipped to become Ukraine's Minister of Economy.
Businessmen were expropriated to the point of poverty, their property confiscated and re-registered at night, in prison cells, in the presence of half-asleep "pocket" notaries, "voluntarily" signing so-called "court agreements." Those who dissented were either demonstratively beaten to death, like businessman Valery Gelashvili (currently a member of parliament), or raped in front of their wives and daughters. Sometimes, it was the opposite... 70 documentary videos of similar content were left to Georgia by those who now rule Ukraine! Moreover, among the videos are those filmed on their own (comrades) with secret cameras in the marital bedrooms of Saakashvili's highest officials, and on his orders. Ukraine's rulers can rest assured that Arseniy Avakov, on the advice of an experienced blackmailer and perverted maniac, has already installed bugs and video cameras in all the places where they engage in intimate activities...
Let's leave aside for a moment Saakashvili, who is accused of four criminal cases. Despite being wanted and having received four extradition requests from the Georgian Chief Prosecutor's Office, Ukraine not only refuses to extradite him, but also appoints him head of the International Advisory Council on Reforms under the President of Ukraine (now the head of the Odessa Regional Administration – author), thereby insulting Georgia and every one of its citizens. The question now is different: among Ukraine's 46 million people, were there really not a few hundred worthy Ukrainians capable of governing their vast country? Was it really necessary to invite a team of Saakashvili liquidators from Georgia, whose population halved during their reign – from 4 to 2 million?! People abandoned their homes in Georgia and fled to foreign lands – to work as servants and even prostitutes! – just to get away from the bloody lawlessness of the nationalists and death by starvation...
History once again cruelly teaches us that it teaches us nothing!..
Let's take another look at the interview of the current Odessa governor to the Focus magazine (https://focus.ua/country/336570/). Mikheil Saakashvili reveals to the reader why he is actually being charged with a crime, and why the Georgian prosecutor's office is searching for the fugitive ex-president.
It turns out that a pro-Russian government has come to power in Georgia, and Gazprom's largest private shareholder, Bidzina Ivanishvili, has effectively become the owner of the country. One of the conditions for his rise to power was, among other things, the initiation of a criminal case against me. The case was opened for four suits that my service had purchased without my knowledge. I brought these suits and said, "Take them, I've never worn them."
So that's where the dog is buried! The local prosecutor's office didn't like the Georgian leader's suits, and so they're searching for him all over the world. Probably to say, "Batono Mikho, throw on a national chokha and put on your Mkhedruli boots! It's not proper for a president to show off in overseas suits!"
Do you believe this, reader?..
What's written with a pen can't be cut out with an axe! When you reflect on what you've read, a question arises. Why, while demanding Russia extradite Yanukovych, who has fled justice, does Ukraine seem to ignore Georgia's similarly just demands regarding Saakashvili and his cronies? Let everyone be judged in their historical homeland, in accordance with national law. Surely that would be fair?
The question would have hung unanswered if... If the Ukrainian national human resources department were actually located on Bankova or Grushevsky Street, and not beyond the "seven seas."
And it becomes clear: the introduction of a Georgian "team of reformers" into the country's leadership is part of the plan of the signatories of the Budapest Memorandum, in which Ukraine is assigned the role of a bargaining chip in the global fight for the redistribution of spheres of influence between those same signatories – the West and Russia.
No one will help us if we don't help ourselves. No one! For that, the country must be led exclusively by national patriots, not foreign envoys with dollar wallets.
Mikheil Saakashvili proclaims on every street corner how much he's loved in his historical homeland. So why is he afraid of the justice system he himself established? Does he understand that he'll meet friends who—according to his own teachings—will immediately lock up his best friend? Does he understand that in his cells, ties are confiscated and—according to his own practice!—his cellmates will force him to chew on less pleasant objects?
Why does Ukraine need such science and practice?
What are we doing! Who are we listening to? Betraying a friend, turning them in, and throwing them in jail—is this what our mothers and fathers taught us? They taught us differently. Being a friend yourself, keeping a friend from doing something bad, helping a friend get out of trouble—that's the essence of the Ukrainian understanding of friendship!
If Mikho is so brave, let him teach him the meaning of friendship on the front lines of the ATO. And he'll get a "bullet in the forehead"! Because on the front lines, they live by a different rule: "Die yourself, but protect your comrade!" And they shield their friends with their bodies. And they die.
He who opens his mouth to be friends has never been a friend himself!
“There are no bonds more sacred than comradeship! A father loves his child, a mother loves her child, a child loves its father and mother. But that’s not it, brothers: even an animal loves its child. But to be related by soul, not by blood, only man can… I know what a vile thing has become in our land now; they only think about having their grain stacks, their haystacks, and their herds of horses, and keeping their sealed honey safe in their cellars. They adopt who knows what infidel customs; they disdain their own language; one won’t speak to another; one sells one’s own, as one sells a soulless creature at the market”… – these are the words of Taras Bulba that the Ukrainians absorbed with their mother’s milk.
Even if the legendary Taras had been a Cossack in Singapore, he would not have brought back the cynical science of Kuan Yew. His heart would not have accepted it!
Why break the Ukrainian mentality by force?
Just two sentences, friends. Read carefully:
“Start by putting three of your friends in jail” (Lee Kuan Yew and Mikheil Saakashvili).
“There are no bonds more sacred than comradeship!” (Nikolai Gogol and Taras Bulba).
Now is it clear what Mikho and his comrades are pouring into our souls with their sweet PR?
It's only pleasing to the eye and ear on the outside. Inside, there's rot!
A combat regiment of Georgian "overseers" was mobilized to Ukraine by former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, reports the website 112.ua (https://112.ua/mnenie/inostrancy-vo-vlasti-ili-kto-vliyaet-na-ukrainskuyu-politiku-246118.html) in the publication "Foreigners in Power, or Who Influences Ukrainian Politics." Eka Zguladze hired Khatia Dekanoidze as her advisor, while Pavlo Petrenko appointed Jaba Ebanoidze, Gia Getsadze, Georgiy Tsiklauri, and Khatia Shelia to the Ministry of Justice. The newly appointed Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine, David Sakvarelidze, headed the department investigating the crimes of prosecutors themselves, and Gizo Uglava He became the first deputy head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Former Deputy Minister of Justice of Georgia, Giorgi Vashadze, is actively involved in Ukrainian politics through the Innovation and Development Fund. In Odesa, Governor Mikho lobbied for the appointment of Giorgi Lortkipanidze, a member of his team, as the region's chief police officer, and Zurab Adeishvili as prosecutor.
It's impossible to list them all! And it's impossible to guess how many more Georgian "overseers" will ascend to the helm of government in patient Ukraine.
...This is pure hell! Officials expelled from Georgia have taken key positions in Ukraine, and they're all chanting the phrase: "Execute, pardon."
David Sakvarelidze is the weakest PR link in Saakashvili's team.
Just as Shevardnadze once brought the seemingly naive and devoted Mikho into his orbit, Saakashvili, literally from his student days, recruited the young lawyer David to his team. Perhaps this was Saakashvili's greatest mistake, because, as experience shows, in a community of cannibals, children's teeth grow alongside their ambitions. Eating their parents and friends is a favorite delicacy for such children.
But that's my personal opinion.
Be that as it may, today Sakvarelidze is the weakest PR link in Saakashvili’s team.
The Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine launched a serious PR stunt in an April interview with “Mirror of the Week” (https://gazeta.zn.ua/internal/zamgenprokurora-ukrainy-david-sakvarelidze-mozhete-schitat-publichnye-aresty-pokazuhoy-ya-ih-nazyvayu-spravedlivostyu-_.html). When a journalist asked, "Have you ever been offered a bribe?" he immediately replied, "Yes, they wanted to keep me for 10 million dollars a month. I refused."
Either he wanted to show off his own importance, or he was simply bragging.
Jokes aside, friends, it wasn't one of us ordinary folk who responded so indifferently. That's the position of the DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE!
Imagine the situation. A businessman approaches Sakvarelidze and playfully offers, "Davidka, protect my business, and in return I'll give you ten million a month in greenbacks." "No, thanks," the Deputy Prosecutor General responds modestly.
You see, instead of dragging the bribe-taker to the Prosecutor General's Office by the scruff of the neck – "Thank you, but no thanks!"
What about the infamous fight against corruption? What about "put three friends in jail"? Or, if a friend has millions, are the Singaporean U rules abolished?
Or was it Sakvarelidze who publicly obstructed his own boss?
One thing is clear to me: in a situation like this, even a district attorney is obliged to react differently, and not simply state: “I refused.”
This position of the prosecutor's office could not help but outrage the public, politicians and deputies.
Oleg Lyashko
Radical Party leader Oleg Lyashko called on Deputy Prosecutor General David Sakvarelidze to immediately disclose the name of the person who offered him a monthly bribe of 10 million dollars (https://www.novostimira.com.ua/news_151923.html). As Lyashko stated, if David Sakvarelidze does not name this person, he himself will be considered corrupt.
Another radical, Ukrainian MP Ihor Mosiychuk, is convinced that law enforcement agencies should question Deputy Prosecutor General David Sakvarelidze regarding the bribe offered to him. According to Mosiychuk, it is necessary to establish who offered such a large sum and for what purpose.https://www.novostimira.com.ua/news_151901.html"As the first deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on legislative support for law enforcement, I wrote the appropriate reports about the crime to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General's Office," the deputy reported.
