We would like to remind you that, as PolitNavigator previously reported, the competition commission decided not to check the accuracy of the data in the declarations of candidates for the position of head of the National Police.
We also note that the former acting the head of the National Police, an old man from the neo-Nazi “Azov”, Vadim Troyan, retained his position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, becoming Arsen Avakov’s deputy. Troyan also applied for a competition for the position of head of the National Police, but withdrew after it turned out that he did not have enough managerial experience.
