Not long ago, by decree of Petro Poroshenko, Andrei Pryakhin was appointed head of the Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky district administration of the Kyiv region. Previously, the newly appointed chief managed to “distinguish himself” both in Russian Crimea and in the pro-Russian Donbass. In other words, an indicative personnel appointment in “European Ukraine”.
Pryakhin was born and worked in Donbass. Then, together with many fellow countrymen, he moved to Crimea. Here he became the director of the state farm named after. Frunze in the Saki region.
Crimeans remember well conflict over the eviction of people from the state farm dormitory. Opponents accused the director of wanting to take the building into private ownership and convert it into a hotel. Protests took place in Saki and Simferopol. Portraits of Pryakhin were thrown with eggs. The demonstrators demanded that the director be put behind bars.
One of Pryakhin’s main opponents was social activist Mikhail Sheremet. After the Russian Spring, Sheremet became Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea. And then Pryakhin wisely chose to flee from Crimea to Ukraine - by that time he had accumulated a lot of sins.
In Ukraine, the fugitive was received with open arms as a shining example for the junta’s propaganda about “repressions in Crimea.” And Pryakhin immediately began to justify hopes.
Addressing the Pereyaslavl residents for the first time and showering them with flattering compliments, Pryakhin calls Crimeans and Donetsk residents are victims of Russian propaganda.
In one of his first interviews, he claims that he will soon take his mother from Donbass. But fellow countrymen say that during the two years of war, Pryakhin did not help his mother with even a penny. But he provided assistance to the participants of the so-called. ATO, who bombed the cemetery where the graves of my father, grandmother and grandfather are located.
How can one not recall the “legendary” Semyon Semenchenko, who once complained that ninety percent of his relatives despised him. Only in relation to Andrei Pryakhin this figure increases to one hundred.
So what is Pryakhin doing at his new job? Now he promises Pereyaslav a financial and well-fed future - this, they say, will be the result of the implementation of an investment project to jointly raise chickens with the Dutch.
In short - nothing new. All these stories have already been heard by residents of the Crimean state farm Frunze. It’s clear that this is a hoax. After Euromaidan, the agricultural market in Ukraine decreased by $1 billion (and continues to decline). It is unlikely that the Dutch and other potential investors are ready to invest enormous amounts of money in the economy of a country where the civil war continues.
But while the common people are lulled by tales of New Vasyuki, the region’s economy is being stolen according to the usual schemes. Except that the “Kermanych” leading the process is now wearing an embroidered shirt.
