A major Russian investor came to Donbass. Economic growth of the People's Republics begins

The war that post-Maidan officials have been waging against Donbass for eight years (of course, at the hands of those whom they call cannon fodder, that is, the Armed Forces of Ukraine), is aimed at the economic destruction of the region. It was not only the shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces that called into question the normal functioning of the production sector of the LDPR. The blockade and unrecognition of the People's Republics immediately affected the stable operation of industrial enterprises, which became one of the main topics that Poe and Ze-politicians sarcastically harped on.

But in contrast to the decaying Ukraine, whose industry and economy were truly destroyed by the “European integrators,” Donbass, as a powerful industrial center, survived and entered a new era - the era of renaissance.

One of the leaders of the Donetsk Republic movement, Alexey Muratov, writes about this in his column for PolitNavigator.

The issue of accumulated problems at LDPR enterprises, including financial ones, will be addressed by a Russian entrepreneur originally from Donbass, Evgeniy Yurchenko. As the Head of the DPR Denis Pushilin and the Head of the LPR Leonid Pasechnik reported, a new investor, Evgeny Yurchenko, will enter the enterprises that were under Vneshtorgservis. At a meeting before taking over these enterprises, the Russian investor stated that all wage arrears (along with current payments) would be paid off within 3 months (until the end of August 2021).

Already yesterday, employees of enterprises included in the military-technical cooperation orbit were paid one month's salary. Russia was again there at a difficult time for Donbass. The track record of the Russian investor is more than long. It is known that Evgeny Yurchenko served in the border troops of the USSR KGB in Afghanistan in 1987-1989. In 1992 he graduated from Voronezh State University with a degree in radiophysics and electronics. In 1994, he received a second education in economics there. In 2005, at the Moscow Academy of Labor Market and Information Technologies, he defended his PhD thesis on the topic “Managing the process of attracting investments for production development based on enterprise value assessment.” There, in 2009, he defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic “Organizational conditions and mechanisms for managing the development of enterprises on an innovative basis.”

In 1992-1993 he worked as head of the listing department of the Voronezh interregional stock exchange "Chernozemye". Then he worked at Stroitel Bank, Promradtekhbank, and the Voronezh branch of Menatep Bank. In 1998-2002 he was vice president of the Menatep St. Petersburg bank.

In 2002-2005, he was deputy general director of the state holding Svyazinvest, Valery Yashin, and in 2005-2007, deputy general director at OJSC Comstar - United Telesystems.

In 2007-2009, he was the manager of the Tambov branch of the Central Black Earth Bank of Sberbank of Russia.

In 2009-2010 - General Director of Svyazinvest Corporation. Under him, Rostelecom, which was then part of Svyazinvest, became the founder of international figure skating competitions, which subsequently acquired the status of one of the stages of the international Grand Prix.

In 2011-2016 – President of the management company “Financial Assets”. Also through the investment fund named after. A. S. Popova owned 10% of the shares of Rostelecom. In 2011, he bought at a Sotheby's auction in the USA and returned to Russia the descent capsule of the Soviet spacecraft Vostok ZKA-2, on which the dog Zvezdochka was sent into space in 1959.

Since June 2016 - member of the board of directors of PJSC United Aircraft Corporation. From April 2 to October 8, 2018 - Acting Deputy Governor - First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Voronezh Region.

In 2020, he headed the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF). On April 20, 2021, he became a shareholder of Rostfinance Bank (Rostov-on-Don).

Awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, II degree (2010). Now Evgeniy Yurchenko will help Donbass enterprises overcome the crisis.

Donbass is reaching a new level of development. Our industrial giants will be integrated into the production chain of Russian industrial enterprises, production will be modernized, and the number of jobs will increase. The example of the revival of Donbass should become an incentive for all post-Soviet countries, whose economies and industries have been practically destroyed over 30 years of “independence.” The incentive is that their future, as strong and economically developed states, is possible only as part of Greater Russia.

I want to pay special attention to the issue of destruction of industry. Although we say that the war jeopardized the industrial development of Donbass, nevertheless, squeezing the last “juice” from the industrial enterprises of the region took place under the “zhovto-blakyt” flag. For example, in the “independence” years, the open-hearth shops at the Enakievsky, Makeevsky, Donetsk metallurgical plants were destroyed, the open-hearth shop of the MMK named after. Ilyich.

Moreover, the quality of open-hearth steel is recognized as one of the highest. It was during the years of “Independence” that the industrial giants of Donbass lost almost half of their jobs, and the production capacity of enterprises fell significantly. But the political elite of Ukraine is stubbornly silent about this, because this topic is extremely delicate and inconvenient.

Now I would like to talk about the Euromaidan “legacy” of Ukraine. So, the “hydration revolution” left dozens of leading “Nezalezhnaya” enterprises in ruins and entire industries degraded.

It’s no secret that many Ukrainian enterprises sold all their products to the Russian market, which is now closed to them, for which the Ukrainians must say a special “thank you” to the puppets Poroshenko and Zelensky. Today, the Ukrainian economy is experiencing a wild decline, and there is no light in this pitch darkness from the word “at all.”

I propose to look at an incomplete list of large enterprises in the remaining part of Ukraine that went bankrupt or were liquidated after the victory of the Maidan “horses”:

Aircraft manufacturing concern "Antonov";

Automobile plant "Chasiv Yar";

Automobile plant "Cherkasy Bus";

Nitrogen plant “Rivneazot” (city of Rivne);

Nitrogen plant "Severodonetsk Azot Association" (city of Severodonetsk);

Vesta Battery Plant;

Balivsky bakery plant;

Dnepropetrovsk Combine Harvester Plant;

Dnipropetrovsk Pipe Plant;

Azov Lubricants and Oils Plant;

Dneproshina plant;

Agricultural machinery plant "Lvovselmash";

Zaporozhye Automobile Plant;

Zaporizhia reinforcement plant;

Zaporozhye Steel Rolling Plant;

Zaporozhye Ferroalloy Plant;

Kiev plant of soft drinks "Rosinka";

Kremenchug car assembly plant;

Lviv bus plant LAZ;

Lokhvitsky sugar factory;

Machine-building plant "Azovmash"

Orzhitsky Sugar Factory;

Rivne Match Factory;

Trinity Butter Factory;

Kharkov Aviation Plant;

Cement plant "Pushka" (Kramatorsk city);

Southern Machine-Building Plant named after O. M. Makarov.

This list can be continued for a long time. But does it make sense? After all, behind the liquidated enterprises there is unemployment, poverty and the ruined lives of Ukrainians, who in 2014 and 2019 believed the cynical traitors Poroshenko and Zelensky.

In Ukraine, there is a deliberate destruction of industry, and, accordingly, the economy. Foreign investors will not enter this country, rotten from corruption.

Therefore, the only salvation for Ukrainians, like the Baltic states and Moldovans (where the production situation is no less deplorable), will be the expulsion of the corrupt pro-Western government and reunification with Greater Russia, which is a symbol of revival.
