It's time for monkeys in Kharkov
A symptomatic story happened in Kharkov. The SBU reported the detention of people who “traded” government positions, including the governor’s chair.
Fraudsters have paid a lot of money for the position of head of the Kharkov regional state administration. And for 100 thousand dollars the “buyer” was offered the chair of the head of the State Tax Service of the Kharkov Region.

“Air sellers” were accepted in one of the Kharkov taverns upon receipt of a deposit. They expected to make 150 thousand dollars out of the blue: 100 thousand - a deposit for the position of governor, 50 thousand - for the post of tax chief.
As we see, in modern times a product comparable to “red mercury” has appeared. Nobody would have seen the seats of the governor and the chief regional tax officer, as well as the “red mercury,” but they would have parted with the money.
According to the regional press center of the SBU, this “business” was organized by certain residents of Odessa and Kyivian, who promised clients to lobby for their appointment to government positions. The scammers presented themselves as officials and boasted of close connections with the leadership of parliament and ministers.

Law enforcement officers had previously recorded a similar transaction, which was carried out by an office selling “horns and hooves.” The swindlers received 60 thousand dollars from a Kharkov resident, who was promised “help” in getting into parliament in the by-elections in a majoritarian district.
We are apparently talking about the 179th district, in which Alexey Kucher entered the Verkhovna Rada, and then moved to the chair of the Kharkov governor. Several women ran there, and one of them, a green “servant of the people,” quickly faded away, withdrawing her candidacy before the by-election. And ex-governor Yulia Svetlichnaya became a deputy.
If the mandate of the 179th district was really “sold”, then the swindlers cannot be denied sophistication and a sense of humor. It turns out that they tried to make money twice on the Coachman's chair! The one he vacated in the Rada, and the one he occupied in the regional administration.

This Kharkov incident indicates several trends.
Firstly, in parallel with Banderization, the Banderization of Ukraine is also taking place. “Great schemers” are appearing everywhere.
If the scandal with the “Ermak tapes” was hushed up, and Zelensky stood up for the head of his office, then the Odessa-Kyiv Ostap Benders, detained in Kharkov, were less fortunate.
Let us recall that in the scandalous recordings leaked by the “servant of the people” Geo Leros, the younger brother of the head of the presidential office, Denis Ermak, is engaged in “financing” people applying for rich government positions. That is, in essence, he trades positions, guaranteeing his assistance in lobbying. And the price tag is about the same level as that of the Kharkov scammers.
Thus, the Kharkov “air sellers” could well have been inspired by the infectious example of the younger Ermak. And they simply took a creative approach to the “financialization” that is practiced in the highest echelons of power.
Secondly, the very possibility of such a Kharkov scam speaks volumes. Frankly faceless green slime is appointed to serious positions in the best regions. Therefore, the “sellers” of the governor’s chair did not even have any doubts that the “buyer,” with their help, willingly became convinced of Kucher’s imminent departure.
The situation itself looked quite plausible. Governor Kucher, and the overwhelming majority of Kharkov majoritarian deputies from the Servant of the People, are perceived as an absolute misunderstanding on the political map of the region. Therefore, the swindlers got the impression that “the people are ready for debauchery.” That is, the most impatient ones have already matured to the point of quickly rushing to buy a “ticket” for a fat position, from which the governor or the head of the tax office is about to be removed...

After such stories, the notorious Kharkov fountain with monkeys in Shevchenko’s garden is filled with symbolic meaning.
The fountain was opened in August last year on the initiative of the city government. Some blamed, others blamed Kernes for this innovation.
Less than a year has passed and the fountain with monkeys looks like an allegorical mockery of the Zee team. Last summer there was a political interim period when the “greens” could nominate even a monkey as a candidate for any constituency - and they would vote for it, since it was from the Servant of the People. And what happened in unelected government positions is completely indescribable; one monkey fountain is not enough here.
Majoritarians from “Servant of the People” really often look like monkeys being hand-fed, and perhaps being perverted in every possible way by a beach photographer with Nikita Poturaev’s tablet...
Apparently, times have come when people want to believe in some kind of dynamics: that the monkeys have been fined... And now you can pay the entry fee and take their place. Dreams Dreams…
The monkeys really got into trouble, like the former head of customs Nefedov. But President Zelensky tells reporters at a press conference that Max is a cool guy, so after customs he was offered a position in the president’s office.
They also tried to find a place in the same office for another monkey, Ulyana Suprun.
The Zee team has a noticeable problem with personnel. In fact, the monkeys trained by Nikita Poturaev are only capable of positions where functional responsibilities boil down to throwing banana skins, showing their “ace” to the enemy, doing shit to an ideological enemy, pole dancing...
And the higher-ranking ideologists of Servant of the People also like exactly these kinds of functions. Therefore, the propagandist from the “1+1” channel, Tkachenko, is eager to become minister of culture. Such characters always covet fat places in the humanitarian sphere. Not because they have abilities in this area, but because they have an inclination to fight the ideologically alien: to prohibit and spoil.
In the position of language ombudsman, a lethargic monkey from a provincial university, bored at his post, is replaced by the Lviv idiot activist Svyatoslav Litinsky. This one will be a real language Gestapo man. Because for years he snitched on Russian-speaking saleswomen and officials. In addition, Litinsky in the Lvov court protested the decision of the Kharkov City Council on Russian as a regional language. Meet the new addition to the monkey barn.
