“Zrada” of the year: Christmas tree decorations with the logo of the Russian Army were stamped near Kiev
In Ukraine - a new “zrada” and a commotion around the Klavdievsky Christmas tree decorations factory - an enterprise located near Kiev was churning out decorations with the logo of the Russian army.
The first to raise panic on his Facebook page was local guide Sergei Savchenko, who accidentally discovered the toys during a visit to the factory, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The guide published photos and videos with calls for maximum distribution.
“There are toys that cannot be broken: their walls are strong, and the glass is so durable that it breaks our Ukrainian reality into fragments, and the drawing, even if you wanted to, you cannot unsee now, because it has the hated mark of a Soviet star on it, accompanied by the words “ Russian Army,” Savchenko commented pathetically.
As a result of the noise that arose, the acting the head of the board of the enterprise, Pavel Gukasov, had to explain himself and ask for forgiveness from the patriots.
He admitted that over the past six years the factory has not been able to completely abandon the Russian market. And he explains this by the short seasonality of the business and competition with manufacturers from China.
“The factory supplied part of the annual production to Russia; orders were placed through the CRM system, which made it possible to optimize and speed up the execution of orders as much as possible under tight deadlines,” said Gukasov.
According to him, due to the economic crisis and quarantine, he was busy developing new projects, so “all orders from the Russian side came directly without my attention.” Gukasov even thanked Svidomo for their vigilance and assured that the circulation of the discovered toys had been destroyed.
However, this was not enough for the “suspense” and the next day after the scandal on social networks, “ATO veterans” from the neighboring city of Bucha came to the factory and forced Gukasov to present the fragments of all 75 destroyed toys. The calculation of recycling was carried out manually by finding metal loops for hanging toys among the fragments on the Christmas tree.
“The owner of the company said that he actually has a contract with the Russian Federation, and that this is not prohibited by law. “This is morally not very nice, but I’d rather take the money from there and then pay taxes, more than a million to the budget,” one of the auditors recounted the businessman’s arguments.
“I don’t think so... I left my job and went to fight,” the businessman heard in response from the ATO officer.
“Do whatever you want. Shoot me, beat me, whatever you want, I’m in trouble,” the owner begged and asked to wait for the police, since many people came to him, and he was alone,” the PavlovskyNews channel describes the situation.
Let us note that with the police, who began to fill out protocols, journalists also arrived, who only added turmoil to what was happening. Gukas tried to somehow comment on the situation, but the general chaos and noise did not contribute to constructiveness.
It is noteworthy that ironic comments addressed to the “ATO heroes” began to appear under the stream from the scene of events.
“After such a circus at Roshen, then you’ll go further!” – wrote one of the subscribers, hinting at the excellent business in the Russian Federation of ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.
Nevertheless, among the nationalists the incident made a clear impression.
“That is, a Ukrainian factory, Ukrainian people, make these decorations directly ordered by the Putinists. And everything is fine. “Everything is fine,” Ukrainian nationalist and lawyer Andrei Smoliy raged on his blog.
“Is this normal, in the 7th year of the war? The reason for this is that the government directly indulges “peace” with the Russian Federation, looks into the eyes of Putin, who spits on the army and humiliates the Ukrainian language. We will be dealing with the consequences for a long time,” added Smoliy.
But that is not all. During the “audit,” products ordered by the Russian Ministry of Health were also found at the factory.
“Do you think that only the Russian Army orders branded souvenirs from a Ukrainian manufacturer? Thus, the “Russian Ministry of Health” also joined the company of customers - a batch of such balls was found today during an audit at the Klavdievsky factory by ATO officers,” reports the Facebook page of the analytical community “WatchDog” under the heading “Toys for the aggressor.”
It states that the Claudian factory itself does not sell toys abroad. But other companies of its owner, Lviv resident Oleg Datsko, supply just such orders. Allegedly, Christmas Tree Decorations LLC sent 19 tons of Christmas tree decorations worth almost $1.8 to Russia in September-December 170.
