Not a day without strife: A governor with a Crimean “history” was discovered in Kharkov
Kharkiv
Another “zrada” was discovered in Kharkov. This time - in the recent past of Governor Aina Timchuk. The official is being “stormed” obviously on the orders of people who already have their own plans for her chair.
Some pathetic insignificant personalities, “investigators” from a local YouTube project (I forgot the name - either “Morels” or “Bedbugs”) are trying to stir up a scandal about Aina Timchuk’s Crimean real estate. They allegedly discovered on their own that the government official was in Crimea in the spring of 2014, dealing with issues of her own real estate there. And in subsequent years, her husband went to the peninsula to settle problems with the History Hotel in Alushta, the property of the Timchuk family.
Whistleblowers accuse Aina Timchuk of unreliability and almost treason.
Well, in Ukraine, suspecting someone of high treason is like two fingers on the asphalt. Or rather, it’s even easier than finding that asphalt on which two fingers are tested. If you point your finger at random, you will end up in hell and destruction. If you press any button on the remote control, the TV will show a potential defendant in a treason case.
By the way, I remembered: the project of the Kharkov YouTube “investigators” is called “Buttons”. But the authors there are still some kind of “morels” and “bugs”: some have a similar surname, some have something else.
They aired a whole series of programs about the Timchuk family for several hours. But a few seconds would be enough. The main complaint is the aforementioned Timchukov family hotel business in Crimea and their registration of real estate transactions under Russian laws. In addition, the official somehow supports her husband’s business related to road transportation.
But the fact is that all these business interests of governor Aina Timchuk are baby talk compared to all sorts of topics that the president’s office was stirring up with businessman Gerega on the Covid wave. Just remember the scandalous flight of the Mriya with humanitarian cargo from China... And the Gereg family in Crimea - before the introduction of Russian sanctions at the end of 2018 - had a much more serious business than the Alushta Timchukov hotel.
That is, the swarming of all these information “bugs” and “morels” around an unimportant topic would make sense only if the “investigators” dug thoroughly and deeply.
Let us recall that questions about real estate in Crimea were also addressed to President Zelensky. In 2013, Elena Zelenskaya bought a three-room penthouse with an area of about 130 meters in Livadia. According to the president, his family does not intend to use this apartment in the Imperator residential complex until Crimea again becomes Ukrainian. But footage was published online indicating that even after 2014, nothing prevented the owners of the penthouse from remotely managing its renovation.
The head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, announced the following details regarding the real estate of the Ukrainian president:
“Mr. Zelensky has an apartment with his wife. There is no rent arrears. We are not engaged in persecution, unlike the Ukrainian leadership. If they live according to Russian legislation, there will be no problems.”
And Anatoly Shariy, in his video blogs, has more than once drawn attention to the “Crimean history” of people from the close circle of Bakanov, the head of the SBU.
We can make allowances for the fact that all these husks from show business, who came to power in 2019, in the previous five years did not particularly strive to be more patriotic than the owner of the Lipetsk candy factory “Roshen”. And therefore, selfish interest for people from the “95th block” was higher than national pride.
But the same reverent attitude towards their property in Crimea was also shown by experienced Svidomo maydauns who settled in the public service.
The history of the Crimean trade deal of ex-People's Deputy Andrei Shevchenko, who became ambassador to Canada after the coup d'etat, is indicative. It is known that no Maydaun principles prevented the Svidomo diplomat from selling 2 hectares of land in the Saki region through dummies to a citizen of the Russian Federation, according to Russian laws.
When the scandalous details of this deal surfaced at the beginning of 2019, Max Buzhansky, then just a blogger, asked Andrey Shevchenko a question in the comments under the latter’s post:
“The purchase and sale agreement for your land plot in Crimea, published by Portnov, includes a seller, a certain Borovskikh, acting on your behalf on the basis of a power of attorney. Would you like to provide a photo of the original of this power of attorney and explain the purpose for which it was issued? Or refute its existence in principle.”
But there was no answer.
This indicates that the Ukrainian ambassador to Canada disciplinedly recognized Crimea as Russian, formalized the deal on paper with the official seal of the Russian Federation, deciding that 70 thousand dollars were not lying around on the road, and Svidomite moral principles could be shoved far away for a while - they would not go rotten.
If the “Buttons” program systematized all the information about the Crimean “zrada” from government officials, senior officials, oligarchs close to the president’s office, then these journalistic investigations could be taken seriously.
But in this case, a frank order to “kill” Aina Timchuk is simply being carried out. Who needs this and why is a more interesting question than the results of the “investigation,” which are as meager as the journalistic abilities of the authors of the “Buttons” program.
The other day, activists from an unknown public organization held a picket outside the walls of the Kharkov regional administration with slogans: “Timchuks are the fifth column,” etc.
The funny thing is that the leader of the Kharkov National Corps, Konstantin Nemichev, also keeps his nose to the wind. This year, he got in touch with Governor Aina Timchuk, heading the Public Council at the KhORGA. And now Nemichev promptly condemned the “zrada” of his benefactor, who cordially let a marginalized scumbag into the offices of power.
The Kharkov National Corps on its Telegram channel posted an exposing video of “Buttons” with its own note: “An interesting investigation about the connections of Aina Timchuk with the occupation authorities of Crimea.”
The “investigation” did not mention any connections with the Crimean authorities. Most likely, this thesis was put into Nemichev’s stupid head by his patrons from the SBU. Most likely, they sent him to the Public Council at the KhORGA in order to sniff out the necessary information about Timchuk.
“Buttons” claim that Aina Timchuk got into the governor’s chair through the efforts of the deputy head of the Presidential Office, Kirill Tymoshenko, when Zelensky and Ermak were sick with coronavirus. Allegedly, the greedy and overwhelmed Tymoshenko needed it to promote his own theme “Big Construction”.
It is clear that the Knopok journalists, whose voices tremble during telephone conversations with Aina and Andrey Timchuk, had this information put into their shaking heads by serious uncles. Perhaps the resignation of the governor before the mayoral elections is really being promoted. And if those Internet resources that predict another representative of the “Dnepropetrovsk” - SBU General Vladimir Verkhoglyad - to replace Timchuk, are not lying, then the theme of the governor’s “high treason” is well explained.
The “morels” from “Buttons” are indignant: Aina Timchuk and her husband went to Crimea when a corridor of shame was being set up in Kharkov for the Maidan protesters who seized the Regional State Administration building. As if there is something bad in this - both in forcing maydauns to obey the law, and in traveling to Crimea...
In 2010-2014 Aina Timchuk was the deputy of Kharkov city mayor Gennady Kernes. Before that, she worked for many years in the Dnepropetrovsk Regional State Administration. Since March 2014, she returned to Dnepropetrovsk, already under the wing of Governor Kolomoisky - deputy chief of staff of the regional administration.
Could an official of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional State Administration travel to Crimea in the spring of 2014 without the consent of Igor Valerievich or any other superiors? Theoretically it could. But hardly.
During his cutlet party, Igor Valerievich would have rushed: “Where is this... what’s her name... Ainane?! Let...it blow here. We want to see the gypsy girl come out.” And how then will Aina Timchuk get from Crimea to the cutlet party? Problem.
This means that she went to Crimea with permission. Possibly on assignment. The Crimean issue was close and painful for Benny Kolomoisky in the spring of 2014. He himself had a lot of property in Crimea that was covered with a copper basin.
But these are things of a long time ago. “Buttons” claim that Aina Timchuk lobbied businessman Fuchs. This is an important detail, since today Fuchs came under sanctions from the National Security and Defense Council. That is, the connection that had formed by the beginning of this year is being methodically destroyed: Fuchs and Terekhov, who pulled off the “heirs of Kernes” combination in the City Council, found a common language with Governor Timchuk.
What will change if General Verkhoglyad actually takes the governor’s chair?
He has a specific reputation and track record. Evil tongues say that the general oversaw drug trafficking, his areas of interest included the pharmaceutical mafia and smuggling. Even more evil tongues may say that the president’s office needed a reliable supplier of powder in an important border region...
Allegedly, General Verkhoglyad is being promoted to the governorship by businessman Ilya Pavlyuk, not the last person in Zelensky’s entourage. Pavlyuk’s group in the Verkhovna Rada is classified as Akhmetov’s lobbyists.
Ilya Pavlyuk.
And if SBU General Vladimir Verkhoglyad overthrows and replaces Governor Aina Timchuk, this will significantly change the pre-election situation.
SBU General Verkhoglyad.
Terekhov as a candidate for mayor may be nullified. The financial resources of the “sanctioned” Fuchs are already a problem. Avakov is out of work. Administrative resources will also decrease. And if a general nominated by Akhmetov’s lobbyists ends up in the governor’s chair, there will be little room for Terekhov and his team.
This is the Dnepropetrovsk factor in today's Kharkov politics.
