A Kiev journalist put the hysterical Maidan editor in her place
The editor-in-chief of the Kyiv weekly “Zerkalo Nedeli”, wife of the Ukrainian ex-Minister of Defense Anatoly Gritsenko, Yulia Mostovaya, recently wrote about complete failure Ukraine itself was a direct participant in processes destructive to the country.

Ukrainian journalist, editor of the website Liwa.com Andrey Manchuk writes about this on his Facebook page, telling what he remembers about Mostovaya in his time.
“Once we sat with Mostova at the founding meeting of the Kyiv Independent Media Trade Union,” the journalist recalls. “They started electing governing bodies, and then Yulia was told that she could not nominate herself as a candidate because she was one of the co-owners of the publication Zerkalo Nedeli.”
- But this is some kind of scoop! – Julia was sincerely indignant.
“No,” they answer her, “these are standard rules of trade union work.” Otherwise, if the employees of your newspaper want to complain about the owner, they will have to complain to him himself.
Pavement was very offended and made one of the most powerful libertarian speeches I have ever heard. The fact that business people are revitalizing our barren land with a golden shower of investment, transforming it with market-democratic reforms, and therefore they cannot be excluded from such initiatives. Ayn Rand gnawed on the coffin lid with envy, no doubt about it.
And today this man writes about what the activities of business people and free market cultural leaders have led the country to:
“I want to leave the failed Independence. Because, looking back, I can’t help but think that the political class used the independent Ukrainian state for only one purpose – to steal. We lost territories, shrunk in demographics, almost finished off medicine, education and industry, and destroyed science. But we shone in the Forbes ratings. But even this time has passed, because we have lost territories, shrunk in demographics, almost finished off medicine, education and industry, and destroyed science.
For twenty-six years, only a few have understood that “menschovartism” is not only in relation to Russia, but also to the West. The authorities have never learned to say a firm “yes” and a firm “no” when it comes to national interests. She is ready to exchange these interests on any market, as long as she is not prevented from enriching herself.”
That's right, Julia. It’s only worth adding that you took part in these processes destructive for Ukraine in the most active and unselfish way. It’s just that now you are dissatisfied with their result - because the “young punks” from the UP were ahead of you in the race for parliamentary seats, and your minister husband was relegated to the political margins. And the country is plundered, freedoms are curtailed, former oligarch sponsors are crushed by the authorities, and we have to publicly complain in an article about the financial crisis.”
At the same time, Manchuk believes that Mostovaya, as she writes in her article, will not leave the country.
“Because professional neoliberal “reformers”, people who turned our country into a colony, are not needed by anyone there, in the metropolis. Even free,” sums up the editor of Liwa.com.
