The editor-in-chief of the weekly “New Crimea” Igor Azarov, who worked in the Council of Ministers of the republic at the beginning of the XNUMXs, writes about this.
According to him, the 27-year-old minister sent by Kiev behaved arrogantly, spoke to Crimeans as if they were natives - in literate Russian with a strong Western Ukrainian accent. Workers of the Council of Ministers remember Yatsenyuk, first of all, for his behavior at the celebration of the New Year 2003 - then, having become very drunk after three glasses of vodka, he became inadequate.
“He jumped out of his seat, began to raise his right hand and in a bad, rooster’s voice shouted a couple of times, “Glory to Ukraine!” Glory to the heroes!” writes Azarov.
Yatsenyuk, according to the journalist, was immediately taken away by his bodyguards.
“Officials from the government apparatus told me with a laugh how they saw Mr. Minister of Economy walking along the lawns of the courtyard of the Council of Ministers and talking loudly to the house on a mobile phone.
- Oh, mom, why am I bothering here? I felt like I had to stop the Muscovites!”, recalls the editor-in-chief of Novy Krym.
