| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Denis Davydov [REGNUM] Former Odessa military commissar Yevgeny Borisov did not run long. At first, everyone thought that he was already abroad. For example, in Spain, where his mother owns a house worth more than 4 million euros, his mother-in-law owns an elite car fleet, and his wife owns an office space worth 737 thousand euros and an electric Mercedes-Benz EQV. However, on Monday Borisov was detained by the State Bureau of Investigation in Kiev, where he tried to play spy, changing phone numbers, apartments and car numbers, not knowing that the Safe Place network of video cameras installed by the Americans had long been operating throughout the city. Found in two days. On Saturday, he was announced on suspicion of illegal enrichment worth hundreds of millions of hryvnias and deliberate evasion of service, and, given the circumstances, the prosecutor's office intends to require him to be held in custody without the right to bail. However, the guy obviously has money: only property at the military commissar was found for 151 million hryvnias. In addition, law enforcement officers found out that in the period from December to February, Borisov was absent from work for a month and a half without good reason. Although the reason, if you think about it, is more than good: together with his family, a simple officer spent time abroad - in Turkey, the Seychelles and Spain. And he went there according to a murky scheme, although earlier representatives of the operational command "South" claimed that he went for treatment. This talented person went to the arrest for quite a long time, since they began to talk publicly about his well-being back in April. However, everything was like water off a duck's back with Borisov, and most importantly, he did not feel any danger, continuing to lead the mobilization in Odessa. And the city became famous far beyond the borders of the country for the extremely tough and shameless work of employees of the territorial recruitment center (as the military registration and enlistment offices are now called). Social networks are full of video evidence of how men are "knitted" in the streets with the use of force, beating especially recalcitrant ones. And there has never been a case that someone has been held criminally responsible for this: in words, the command only punished disciplinary. It was the Odessa TCCs that were among the first to use “undercover work,” when a brigade of summoners drove through the streets in ambulances. This caused a huge outcry, to which the military registration and enlistment office explained that the car was transferred to him on the balance sheet and was used as a "message of warning." Notify in Odessa is always the same. So, in the spring, a resident of the Cherkasy region, Vasily Kirichenko , was detained at a checkpoint , who was immediately taken to the Odessa regional recruitment center, and two days later he was already in the military unit, "which he himself chose." The lawyer of the person mobilized in this way, who came to Odessa on official business, was explained that the times are difficult now, so there is no need to be tied to the place of actual military registration. “Yes, there are many holes in the legislation, we are working on it. But we have no other chance than to come to the defense of the motherland. And any excuses that I can bring more benefit to the state in a different sense must be justified at the legislative level, ” Natalya Gumenyuk, press officer of the Southern OK, explained to the press on the situation as a whole . Therefore, the men caught on the streets of Odessa or even in the yard of their own house underwent a “medical examination” in an accelerated mode - right at the place of delivery of the street summons or in one of the two district shopping malls where the booty was taken. As a rule, all the documents were drawn up for them in the morning, and then training and into battle. It is quite obvious that such mobilization measures had a positive effect on the statistics of those called up, which is one of the main reasons for the immunity of military commissar Borisov. After the first statements that he receives huge shadow income from the sale of "white tickets", an internal investigation was carried out, he was temporarily removed from his post, but then returned back. What is no less obvious commercial sense. “I was in one company, where the district military commissar drank with us. I approached in my own way, showed my documents - after all, I am a “white ticket”, an invalid since childhood. He says yes, everything is fine with you. Now such a mark is ten “green”,” an old acquaintance, a small-scale provincial lawyer, told us. But if there is already such a price tag in its regional center, then in large cities like Kiev and Odessa it is even higher, Odessa sources talk about amounts up to $15 thousand. And, of course, as in any corrupt system, the movement of money always occurs from the bottom up. It is not so easy to become a military commissar in this difficult time, a grain position requires an entrance fee, as they say, about $ 200 thousand. And every month, the one who occupies it must pay a certain amount to the one who appointed him - and so on throughout the vertical. It never worked differently, the author observed this with his own eyes back in the fat pre-Maidan years in one of the state structures associated with the issuance of licenses. It is noteworthy that when last Friday President Volodymyr Zelensky gave the command to deal with the scandalous Odessa military commissar, who could no longer be tolerated, he gave it to Valery Zaluzhny. The Commander-in-Chief is the end point of collecting money; military commissars are appointed and dismissed by his order. And if you estimate that even with the issuance of one “white ticket” per day for $15,000, with a five-day working week, a monthly profit of $300,000 is obtained from one shopping center. Borisov, even with such a modest flow, could earn his villas and cars in just a year. But after all, this is only one type of service, without a military registration and enlistment office you can’t get a job, you can’t make a reservation for employees, and there are still delays, confirmation of a real disability of the second and third groups, etc. Almost daily, border guards and the SBU report on the capture of another fugitives at the border, just yesterday two were identified from a drone at the Moldovan cordon. These are those who are trying to save money and pay significantly less than ten. Thus, in the end, either the poor or the unfortunate go to war. The latter were joined in June by members of the Junket group, who came to Odessa to give a charity concert to raise funds for the affected residents of the Kherson region. Near the railway station, they were stopped by employees of the TCC, under the pretext of checking documents, they were taken to the military registration and enlistment office for “half an hour”, and a few hours later the musicians went to serve in the airborne assault troops. Only the leader of the group did not go Dmitry Sazonov, who had a deferment document, which allowed him to tell this touching story, after which every guest performer would quite logically want the same document for himself. So the scandalous Borisov (with whom, very likely, everything will be fine) is only the visible part of a huge vacuum cleaner that sucks not only money, but also life out of Ukrainians. Here's someone how it will turn out. And the most correct decision for every citizen of Ukraine potentially fit for military service is to get away from the military commissars of the Borisovs as far as possible, not expecting that everything will somehow work out by itself. |
