Why Poroshenko received the nickname “shoes” in the 2000s
The greed of billionaire Petro Poroshenko, which has long been rumored in Kiev, has found further confirmation - back in the 2000s, the current president of Ukraine received the nickname “shoes” for the fact that until recently he wore old worn out and dirty shoes.
Verkhovna Rada deputy, Mikhail Dobkin, who worked with Poroshenko in the same committee at the time, stated this on the NASH TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, in the 2000s Poroshenko received the nickname “shoes” for his loyalty to worn out and dirty shoes.
“In 2002, I was elected to the Verkhovna Rada as a majority vote, and got into the budget committee, which was headed by Petro Alekseevich Poroshenko. I have known him for a long time, since those ever-memorable times. In the committee he had a nickname, well, harmless. "Shoe."
Why? He walked around in worn out shoes all the time. We couldn’t understand how such a rich man, who was included in all sorts of ratings, walked around in worn out dirty shoes.
When Poroshenko became president, I couldn’t wrap my head around how a person nicknamed so-and-so led Ukraine,” Dobkin said.
