Aram GABRELYANOV, media manager:
“The idea is great. Gaidar is the vice-governor, Navalny is the chief forester of the region, Ponomarev is the main lecturer. Katz is the rabbi of the Odessa region. There are many positions. I propose a competition - which of the Moscow liberals should be offered a position under Saakashvili. And which one? We’ll pass the list on to Misha.”
Vladimir SOLOVIEV, journalist, TV presenter:
“Gaidar works for Saakashvili. The death of Russian peacekeepers does not bother her. Question. When will the other members of “Nikita Belykh’s team” catch up?”
Konstantin SEMIN, journalist:
“Now it’s not Masha then... Mashiko...”
Pavel PRIANIKOV, journalist:
“It’s a pity for the Ukrainians that now the most terrible neoliberal experiments on them will begin (even worse than what the neoliberals are doing in Russia).”
Igor KOROTCHENKO, military expert:
“Gaidar became Saakashvili’s vice-governor. But won’t Makarevich be invited to be the Minister of Culture of Ukraine?”
Lev SALAMATOV, blogger:
“In the appointment of Maria Gaidar to the position of deputy governor of the Odessa region of Ukraine, what is important is not the fact of the appointment itself, but the fact that Maria will have to renounce Russian citizenship for this position. This is a serious step. There will be no turning back."
Andrey MELNIKOV, blogger:
“I imagined Bush (anyone) as a governor in Tajikistan or Thatcher as chairman of the Sochi city assembly - and I was horrified. Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense... Why do liberals so admire the ex-president of a small but proud country, who fled from this country to the governorship of a small, beautiful region of a completely different state? And now Gaidar, the eternal assistant to governors.”
