And didn’t they recently shout “Zeka Get!” “Down with the oligarchs!” “Maskolyak on the branch” “Jew on the rope”? They killed and burned, and this bacchanalia is not over! And for what?
How and why the father of the new president of Ukraine was in prison
Owner of “factories, newspapers, ships,” and since yesterday also elected in the very first round of voting as president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko deeply honors the memory of his relatives. For example, in memory of his brother-businessman who died during a gangland shootout in 1997, he built a chapel at Askold’s Grave (by a strange coincidence, two decades later militants of the “Right Sector” who died in clashes with the “Berkut” would be buried very near it), and he named a bulk carrier “Mikhailo Poroshenko,” built at the controlled Leninskaya Kuznitsa shipbuilding plant — while that plant was still operating at full capacity. He made his son Oleksiy the “overseer” of the Poroshenko family’s base region — Vinnychyna. Curiously, Poroshenko junior was elected to the regional council with the support of Yulia Tymoshenko’s “Batkivshchyna” party — Petro Oleksiyovych’s main competitor in the recent elections. It was also in Vinnychyna that Petro Poroshenko tried to get his father into parliament in one of the single-mandate constituencies. But very soon this “independent” candidate had to be withdrawn from the race. And it was not Oleksiy Ivanovych’s poor health, as the official explanation stated, that caused this. During the Poroshenko-grandfather’s election campaign, some details of his biography surfaced — details that the Poroshenko-presidential family would not have wanted to make public.
Russian political analyst Oleg Matveychev on his blog publishes the results of his own investigation into the early years of the new Ukrainian president and the role of the father’s unsavory activities in our hero’s biography. To begin with, Petro Oleksiyovych does not like to recall that Poroshenko is not his father’s real surname. According to documents, born Oleksiy Valtsman, after marrying Yevheniya Serhiyivna Poroshenko in 1956, he took his wife’s surname. In principle, the act is understandable: with the onset of mass emigration to Israel, the authorities increasingly viewed Jews as potential escapees from the USSR, there were unspoken quotas in universities for admission of members of an unreliable nationality, and it is very unlikely that Pyotr Valtsman would have had a chance in 1982 to enter the “fat” faculty of international relations and international law of Kyiv State University. Let us repeat that tens of thousands of people did the same at that time, and there would be nothing wrong with that. Moreover, even the current Ukrainian president does not like to remember his Jewish roots; he reacted very painfully, for example, to being included by Israeli Forbes in the list of the 165 richest Jews in the world. However, as the facts show, the president’s father changed his surname not before his son entered the university, but a little later. After Poroshenko senior became a figure in a criminal case.
It is no secret that in the 1980s in the USSR, because of total shortages on the one hand and the weakening of police control on the other, petty theft of state property flourished profusely — the so-called “carriers” (“nesuny”) appeared. It was precisely his “resourcefulness” and “enterprisingness” in this direction that Oleksiy Ivanovych attracted the interest of the competent authorities.
On June 11, 1986, shocking news struck the family of the current Ukrainian politician. On that day, a native of the village of Sofyany, Izmail District, Odesa Region, Ukrainian SSR, Valtsman O.I., Jew, citizen of the USSR, expelled from the CPSU in connection with a criminal case, having higher education, liable for military service, married, who worked from September 26, 1977 to December 9, 1983 as director of the Bendery Experimental Repair Plant, was arrested and was under investigation awaiting trial. As Petro Poroshenko later described this period in his biography, “I was raised by the absence of my father at home.” The reason for the father’s absence was modestly kept silent.
What did our Oleksiy Ivanovych Valtsman do? In the dry language of the verdict, he was accused of committing crimes under Articles 155, 123, 184 part 1, Article 220 part 2, Article 227 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Moldavian SSR and the Criminal Code of the RSFSR:
— “deliberate padding of state statistical reporting and submission of distorted reported data on plan fulfillment,” which at that time was considered “anti-state actions harmful to the national economy of the USSR” (Article 155 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Moldavian SSR);
— “theft of state property by abuse of official position, embezzlement and misappropriation, in a preliminary conspiracy by a group of individuals, repeatedly, in the amount of 2,235 rubles 91 kopecks” (Article 123 part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Moldavian SSR as amended by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Moldavian SSR of December 24, 1982);
— “illegal acquisition of property knowingly obtained by criminal means, committed on a large scale” (Article 220 part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Moldavian SSR);
— “illegal possession of weapons” (Article 227 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Moldavian SSR).
The sentence was lenient, the times were already vegetarian: “five years of deprivation of freedom with confiscation of property, with deprivation of the right to hold managerial positions for a period of five years, to be served in a strict-regime correctional labor colony.” Just petty provincial fraud. Who knows: perhaps then, stripped of the ability to hold managerial positions, the father began to think about pushing his son into a managerial role? But it is far more likely that a loving father took care of his child’s career in advance. It is not out of the question that his studies at a prestigious department were paid for with bribes from money obtained through ordinary theft.
How, in 1982, could the son of the director of a small factory from provincial Bendery enter the prestigious Kiev State University’s most prestigious faculty of international law and international relations? Surely, the Waltzman-Poroshenko family needed considerable money for that. Most probably, in late December 1981 – early January 1982, the elder Waltzman decided to “play around” with state statistical reporting in order to mislead the state and thus “lightly” enrich himself.
In 1983, Alexei Poroshenko moved to the post of head of SPMK-7 of the “Moldselkhozmонтаж” trust and relocated to Tiraspol.
Little Tiraspol, a small construction-mounting section, a small salary… And the sons are growing up!
So nothing prevented the conscience of Alexei Poroshenko from carrying out of his home enterprise two coils of enamelled cable worth 204 rubles 16 kopecks, buying on the cheap 64 liters of stolen rectified alcohol for a total of 1629 rubles 48 kopecks, diluting it with water, and opening a small business selling surrogate alcohol.
Such labours piled up into five years of deprivation of freedom with confiscation of property… As the saying goes, to steal and not get caught, you need to know how to steal big time. This truth was evidently well grasped by Poroshenko the younger, who himself often stumbles in explaining how a shipbuilding plant, a confectionery factory, and a TV channel ended up in his ownership. Besides, trading candies with benzpyrene turned out more profitable than “cutting” industrial alcohol.
