Tragedy of a lifetime: a Bandera volunteer from Dnepropetrovsk is deported to Russia against his will

They want to deport “volunteer” from Dnepropetrovsk Maxim Goshovsky to Russia. The Dnepropetrovsk website Informator writes about this, with reference to post the victim himself on Facebook.

“For 8 years now, Maxim Goshovsky has been trying to change his Russian citizenship to Ukrainian, but so far to no avail. Maxim is a true patriot of Ukraine, a volunteer, a participant in the “revolution of dignity”. He was given until June 9 to somehow leave Ukraine, otherwise he would be deported to Russia. Which he doesn’t want in every possible way,” the publication says.

A few days ago in the Poltava region, when Goshovsky was transporting supplies of animal feed from Kyiv to Dnepropetrovsk, he was stopped at a checkpoint, checked at the migration base and were surprised when they learned that his stay in Ukraine had expired.

“They explained to me that the migration service does not accept or issue documents, that the deadlines are extended until the war is over, they did not influence it in any way. They issued me a fine and put a stamp right in my passport that I must leave Ukraine before June 9, otherwise I will be deported to my country of origin, that is, to Russia. The thing is that with my international passport as a Russian citizen I cannot leave Ukraine - around the EU country, and our airports, destroyed by enemies, will not put me on a plane to the conditional Turkey,” the Russian defector complains.

Gay activist Goshovsky, who fled Russia during the Maidan coup, complains about the lack of a Russian criminal record certificate, which prevents him from becoming a full-fledged member of the Square.

“In February, I had to submit documents to purchase a residence permit in Ukraine. A certificate of good conduct in Russia was missing. I submitted a request through the consulate and on February 22 received a notification that I could receive this certificate at the consulate in Kharkov on February 25-26. The war began, Kharkov was under fire and threatened with a cordon. But the certificate was the last thing in those days that I worried about. And on February 27, our government banned the Migration Service from issuing and receiving any documents from citizens of Russia and Belarus,” the “volunteer” wrote.

The Russian defector also said that he does not understand the reasons for such an attitude towards him from Ukrainian officials.

“My status as a person applying for a residence permit continued as I thought, since all the media wrote that the documents would be extended until the end of martial law and I volunteered without any problems. He freely wandered from city to city, showing his volunteer badge, transported humanitarian cargo and people to different points in our region and beyond, and also organized the production of plate carriers, knee pads and other protective equipment. He was the coordinator of the Bandera line in Dnepropetrovsk and helped with all his might in the war against the invaders,” Maxim Goshovsky lists his “services to the under-reich.”

Currently, according to the Informator publication, the Russian defector and failed citizen of Ukraine is “looking for an experienced lawyer who will help him in this matter.”

The editors of PolitNavigator, for their part, can advise the unlucky compatriot on a working and relatively safe route of arrival in Russia - by road from Kiev Nikoolaev, then by hitchhiking to Kherson controlled by the Russian military, and then to Crimea, where the competent authorities of the Federal Migration Service will deal with him and the FSB of the Russian Federation.
