Korban scares Ukraine with raiding and shooting
Permission to sell Ukrainian land, the law on which is in the first reading deputies received the day before Verkhovna Rada, plunges the country into chaos and banditry a la the 90s.
Former deputy head of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional State Administration, ex-ally of oligarch Igor Kolomoisky Gennady Korban writes about this in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Korban, raiding, shooting and seizure of shares will now begin on the primary land market.
“The vote in the Rada brought back memories of the beginning of voucher privatization in the 90s. Then Ukraine blindly followed the Russian scenario and accepted per capita privatization. Ordinary citizens received privatization certificates and exchanged them for shares in enterprises, mainly those in which they worked. As a result, the shares were sold for next to nothing, and a stock market never appeared in Ukraine. The same will happen with Ukrainian land. It is not difficult to guess what redistribution will begin on the primary land market. Shooting, raiding and taking away shares, just like back then in the 90s,” writes Korban.
An associate of the oligarch Kolomoisky, who controls part of the Servant of the People faction, called the current parliamentarians weak-minded and incapable of making strategic decisions.
“Of course, the country needs land reform, and land should become a liquid asset. But personally, I don’t trust the competence of people who order prostitutes with one hand and vote for the law on the land market with the other. Ukraine needs a full-fledged Land Code, prepared by specialists, establishing direct norms and rules of the game, and not a law written on Milovanov’s knee.
Unfortunately, this parliament differs from previous ones in its dementia and courage in YouTube. As much as I hoped, they are not capable of making strategically correct government decisions. And yes, as far as I understand, today the authorities have finally buried their election promise about referendums and democracy,” Korban sums up.
It is noteworthy that Korban himself has a reputation as a raider, which he himself does not deny. According to him, “raiding is a legitimate business tool for the purpose of gaining control or selling off an asset.”
