Kharkov: militants cannot be tamed
Two events involving the use of firearms that occurred in Kharkov and the region in recent days show that militants cannot be tamed. Sooner or later, law enforcement officers have to do their job and put them in their place.
“Politnavigator” has already talked about how two groups that emerged from the bosom of “Azov” clashed with each other during a raider takeover in the Zmievsky district. As a result of this get-together, the former head of all Azov reincarnations in the region, Oleg Shiryaev, ended up in custody. Let me remind you that ex-governor Rainin appointed him as his adviser exactly on Hitler’s birthday, April 20, 2016. The current presidential viceroy Svetlichnaya kept him with her in the same capacity. Until, I note, until his own people drove him away. This public is now being dealt with by the Avakov police, in which all the participants in the conflict served in one way or another.
Now it’s the turn of the SBU. And here the wounds were not limited to. According to the department's press service, SBU officers “detained members of an organized group who were terrorizing local entrepreneurs under the guise of the Kharkov City Association of Veterans of the Anti-Terrorist Operation.”
Service officials finally established that “a group of attackers carried out attacks on construction sites where commercial real estate was being built. They used physical violence, destroyed and damaged property, and blocked the installation work of entrepreneurs.” In general, to put it simply, they “milked” the developers, skimming 20-30 thousand dollars from them “for charity.”
During the arrest, the head of the “Association of ATO Veterans of Kharkov” Denis Semenyuk was detained. One of the attackers tried to offer armed resistance, threatening to use a live grenade. In addition, SBU officers shot another veteran of this organization, Alexei Litovchenko, a former “ATO participant,” who died in the hospital.
Denis Semenyuk and Governor Svetlichnaya.
The racketeers' competitors in the movement immediately spoke out. The Anti-Corruption Bloc of ATO Participants accused the Association of ATO Veterans of racketeering. “Unfortunately, some “brothers,” blinded by the desire for profit, forgot about the oath, transgressing moral standards, and covered up their shameful racketeering with UBI certificates, public activities and “patriotism,” said the official statement of “anti-corruption officials in camouflage.” They immediately tried to remember the attempts of the detainees to come into contact with the city authorities and milk them too. And this is a much more serious offense than racketeering. Of course, they kept silent about how the same Semenyuk was nice to Svetlichnaya, and Shiryaev was generally her assistant.
I hope everyone can learn something from these recent stories. The police will stop covering up stormtroopers and “activists”, and will begin to suppress all violations of the laws. The SBU will switch from planting weapons and explosives on opposition activists and journalists to confiscating those that shoot and explode from those who actually have them in abundance and who are capable of using them. And authorities at all levels will stop flirting with those who for some reason have not yet been checked by law enforcement officers and psychiatrists. And stop acting on the principle: “the only way to get rid of dragons is to have your own.”
But, alas, this is only hope. After all, Ukraine is a country where no one wants to learn anything. Even such a simple thing that militants cannot be tamed and can “overwhelm” their own just as happily as they do strangers.
