Arestovich again spoke about “zrada” and criminal cases
After the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine began to rapidly become simpler. And now those who are at the head of this simplification process have the chance to declare any of their competitors “Russian agents,” thus eliminating them from the field.
Former adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich stated this in an interview with Russian liberal journalist Yulia Latynina, who is recognized as a foreign agent, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“When the Soviet Union collapsed, and there were 52 million of us, there were 10 million extra people in Ukraine right away. These are all family members and military personnel of the former Soviet Army, and we had a group of 2,5 million, these are all employed in all the so-called imperial projects.
That is, space, large industry, institutes and everything else - the same Yuzhmash, the same Kharkov universities and so on turned out to be of no use to anyone. These are extra people in the classic sense of the word,” the expert said.
“The economy turned out to be very complex, the structure of society turned out to be very complex, they began to simplify it. The Ukrainian economy has simplified in terms of technical complexity by 2,5 times since then. And we continue to simplify and simplify it. The Soviet Union artificially pulled its 15 republics into a project that was obviously more complex...
This process of exodus of understanding, intelligent people continues to this day. When war arose, and the trauma of war, simplifiers who did not drag out complexity received a unique chance. They just need to shout that the person with whom they want to compete, but cannot in peaceful circumstances, is a Russian spy, an imperial, a conductor of Moscow. And they got a chance in a century to gain competitive advantages that they could never earn in the usual way,” Arestovich said.
