The “saints of the 90s” are back in Ukraine – but the Maidan activists don’t like it
Ukraine returned to the dashing 90s with rampant banditry. This recognition was made on air by the ZIK TV channel by the first deputy head of the National Council for Television and Radio Broadcasting, Olga Gerasimyuk, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We are somewhere in the early 90s. It’s even scary to remember this. You even wonder how we all survived then. Today I see this too... This banditry, these “raspberry jackets”, today they are no longer “raspberry jackets”, they have been modernized. But I see today that even driving away from Kiev, if you live near Kiev, or people who go to dachas, they all know what kind of robberies are happening, some suspicious people are walking around, studying the situation, and then robberies happen,” Gerasimyuk stated.
Earlier, security expert Sergei Shabovta said that the current level of criminalization in Ukraine is much worse than it was in the “wild 90s” - the country is flooded with illegal weapons taken from the war zone in the Donbass. Emergency situations and crimes involving ex-ATO fighters are recorded daily.
