and that's all, but you can call a little later to talk, then i don't have to call you back now. the final digest of the program. judicial control knows the more interesting episodes of 2022, which you saw. fortunately, they are no longer participating in the competition for the supreme council of justice, but they still have the high powers of judges . despite a very dubious reputation, large fortunes of unknown origin and a large number of disciplinary proceedings regarding judicial decisions for them as well as for judicial reform in general we will continue watch and in the new year, let 2023 bring us victory, congratulations - this is freedom, my name is vlad and azure, war is war, and

political buckwheat is on schedule, a few days before the new year, we recorded how a number of ukrainian deputies give out new year's gifts to voters, which they decorate with their photos. it would seem the ancient and dubious practice of political rarefiedness should have long since gone into the past, it is filled with the background of the war when politicians put their hands on their hearts and convince us that they are not preparing for the elections now, they are not thinking about them either not at all timely. then why did the scandalous people's deputy oleksandr trukhin, who is suspected of trying to bribe law enforcement officers, hand out boxes of candy to children where he puts postcards with his image, or the deputy from the servant of the people, andriy strikharskyi, placed his face directly on new year's packages of the house well, so that there are no doubts who here is santa claus of new year's and political buckwheaters. we gathered together and asked experts how to understand gifts from st. nicholas or deputies. new year's and christmas time is always it's a hot time for people's elected officials on their pages in social networks, photos

with children or elderly people appear where politicians generously give them gifts let's take a look sweets, toys and sets for creativity are distributed to displaced children by the former head of the verkhovna rada and now non-factional people's deputy dmytro razumkov and with him fellow mps from the group smart politics presents holiday packages on nicholas day and serhii labaziuk, people's deputy in the parliamentary group for the future , and with a mandatory photo report, here it is i was lucky enough to have a tour of my district in vinnytsia region, organized by a people's deputy of the dovira group, larisa bilozir, on the festive packages that she handed out to children, the name of the ukrainian people's deputy yulia yarmolenko, and this is already the news of the only marathon here. road accident oleksandr trukhin gives children sweets with

his own name and a greeting card with the face of the deputy even in this difficult situation in the war and all that is happening today in ukraine that children should not to lose the feeling of a holiday of dreams and i was given packages to lonely elderly people by the deputy of the dovira group mykola kucher such sparrows with his own name were given by the deputy of the servant of the people iryna borzovat from the servant of the people andriy strikharsky on his pages in social networks dozens of photos from children's new year's mornings where he distributes boxes of candies with pasted with her own photo, such name gifts , which deputies actively report on in social networks, a typical so-called political buckwheat is considered honest in the movement, who monitors the activities of people's elected officials, in other words indirect bribery of voters in order to earn the favor of the electorate. they

continue to use any opportunity to give out this buckwheat, and on the one hand, it seems to be good because there are really people who have great needs in a difficult situation, but we we hoped that some kind of internal ethics in people's deputies would be different during the war, at the same time, the people's deputies themselves assured in their posts that this is how a holiday is created, every child believes in a miracle, so when there is an opportunity to give a little joy to children, i am always with i do it with pleasure. anya is a hack . larisa bilozir does not consider holiday gifts to be pr either. this is how she commented on the fact of giving out packages

to radio liberty. there are not enough budgets, i don't see anything wrong with this, if only they were so used to the fact that we constantly give these gifts, they are not very expensive there, they are just sweet gifts, and i do it from pure hearts and packages have remained since those years . i am a village buckwheat tradition in ukrainian politics. it is most often practiced by majority people’s deputies in their constituencies, especially before elections. they honestly remind the movement that there, majority deputies come to constituencies and help voters. this is of course very good, but another the thing is, when this aid is labeled with the name of the deputy or political party, or even more so with his photo , it doesn't look very good, to put it mildly, and it's not an election period. therefore, we cannot say that this is direct bribery

before the elections, but this is such a long-playing story for the long-term perspective iryna sysak volodymyr pautov radio svoboda how do you feel about political greek-sovietism, you can write in the comments well, in the meantime, we will discuss it on the air, political scientist ihor reiterovych joins the broadcast, good evening experts on the movement to be honest, it is possible now and not a bribe because there are no elections, but this whole story works for the future with these gifts and for what future nobody can actually say now when the war will end and when elections, on the one hand, no one can say, on the other hand, this does not prevent the representatives of the authorities from first of all thinking about when these elections should be held, and one of the versions that they publicly even voice is the version about the need to hold elections at the end of the 23rd year or the war will continue until then. well, we really cannot give an answer to this, but they are already looking for some mechanisms that will allow,

for example, to hold elections even during the war, and there is no reason to be surprised here, since this issue is extremely urgent, extremely important and one way or another, it will be considered, it will be planned, in addition, there may be such a story that after the end of the war, literally a month or two will pass there and immediately these elections will be announced, there will be little time to conduct any pre-election campaigns there , and therefore some of the deputies are already starting to to prepare the field in order to work in this field, which, by the way, becomes especially relevant against the background of some statements that it is possible that the next elections should be held under a mixed system to preserve this majority component. and if we look at the story of each deputy who was presented in your story, you will see that this story is tied to specific territories, to specific towns, villages in the district, and so on, they have been systematically working there for more than a month. it turns out, well,

to a certain extent, nothing has changed. let's say so about individual people's deputies for the sake of justice. i know many people 's elected officials from different political parties, by the way, who were engaged in such things there a year ago, but during the war, they completely changed approaches and at least no specific gifts or constant emphasis on the fact that such and such a people’s elected official did such and such, no, they are more involved in helping the army to military refugees, including but they do it not directly, they do it as through well as as a rule, through some public organizations there, charitable funds, and so on. that is, in essence, it does not bring them any political benefit, but some part acts according to old methods and old standards. presented in the plot, they are conventionally divided into two categories, or they are famous, but they are known, to put it mildly, not from a very good side, well , there have been some scandals and so on, or some even criminal cases have been opened, or

people who are well, in fact, in fact, few people know something about them this year, we are talking about scandalous and deputies, in principle, he is simply the most revealing figure. but there are those about whom no one actually knows anything. it is not even that people who simply vote in elections, but people who they are engaged in politics professionally, these surnames do not mean anything to them, these deputies were particularly inconspicuous, you know i am sure that some part of the people are watching us now and will continue to watch and will say well and what ? say something like this here at all, and this is a normal tradition, let’s say for the countries of the european union, we are there . he will stick his photo on them with candies and they will also show it on tv. is this real ? is it only in ukraine? look, if he does this,

i think he will be kicked out of the party the next day. he can tell there that he represents some political party there and in principle the party there decided to organize something like that, although as far as i know in the countries of the european union, especially in the countries of western europe, primarily in central europe, to some extent such things are not accepted there at all, the parties are engaged in other things, the main task of the party is to come to the parliament or to the local self- government bodies and pass normal laws there and make sure that people have enough money well, buy your children some sweet gifts and don't think about the fact that some benefactor will come - this will bring them stories with portraits stories with named gifts, this is a story that is usually unequivocally classified as political corruption, manifestations of political corruption, they are usually unacceptable in the european union, in which we are trying to integrate , certain such relics are preserved in some post-socialist countries, let's say there in

hungary, for example, and so on, but this is more the exception than the rule, because all other countries abandoned such approaches a long, long time ago . took place, this practice will be applied and will be applied quite widely, at the same time, a simple question arises: where do they get the money for all these gifts, er, how do they finance them? first of all, where do they get the money from, should someone now investigate where they get the money from, and secondly, you yourself said that this can be classified as political corruption, again, some law enforcement agency should pay attention to them and well, if not a criminal offense there to classify the administrative well, just some kind of signal to give the deputy that this is not normal, well, in ukraine , nazk deal with such things, and as far as i know, there are already

precedents when individual deputies were issued certain prescriptions by nazk, he is not so much there raises some suspicions and how many points to certain problems there. if they are not resolved, then the nabu or the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office is already connected. there is party money because, you know , the twinning here to a certain extent also lies in the fact that sometimes such things are financed with the money that they themselves paid and taxes, that is, the parties receive state funding, and they part of these funds are spent on some similar actions or they place, for example, boards there with their faces with congratulations there on the new year. let's say they spend money on such and such. the deputies have now found a mechanism to get around it, they usually do it through

some charitable funds and say that i am just the face of the fund, but in fact the money for this fund is collected by some other people, and i just handed it over. so what is there, what is there there was my photo, this is a more moral and ethical problem in the first place and a problem in general with the perception of such things. well, on the other hand, if some citizens of ukraine accept such gifts and in principle do not oppose it. well, this even more stimulates individual deputies to do this in the future what is the question, but in ukraine, greek -soyism works. that is, it can be argued that if people received gifts from deputies on new year's day, then these people will definitely return to these deputies with votes or not. will people take candy? will already vote who wants no, everyone will of course vote who wants but here there is one nuance, you understand. as a rule, such actions are aimed at people or the elderly who have certain problems with social security or at people who, well, really need some

kind of help, it is done specifically for so that these people feel a certain degree of obligation, these people, you know , they are moral, but they have morality, which he helped me, and i will thank him at least by coming to some precinct there voting for him and it won't bring a lot of votes, but it can bring a certain fixed percentage, guaranteed, and that's exactly what miro bet on, plus you know this is a story about general pr, increasing your recognition. well, i hope that maybe every tenth or every the eighth, when will he vote if he doesn't have any frank convictions there? well, let's remember that we gave something there and this will be the pebble that will outweigh the weight of voting directly there for that or of another deputy, i am summarizing what you said, i just want to remind our viewers once again who is watching us. it is possible

that these gifts are given to you by people's deputies for your money, for the money of ukrainian taxpayers , just keep it in your head, thank you very much ihor reiterovychi, a political scientist was on radio svoboda, thank you, and in the meantime, i encourage you to leave questions, replicas, comments in the chat for the broadcast, i see already one person in our group is asking pochemu trokhym so far, on freedom , now oleksandr trukhin, people's deputy among all these stories about political greek-ossianism, there is one special one, and it is about oleksandr trukhin. he does not just give out gifts with photos of himself somewhere in his district, which in principle, as the expert said, is a very dubious story. trukhin, in particular , became famous for what he wanted . quietly went into the forest after a scandalous road accident in the summer of 2021, and now with his gifts, he is shown on the air of the national marathon, which, firstly , is also financed with the money of ukrainian taxpayers, and secondly, the marathon was created with the aim of strengthening the information

of wartime security, who and why is there showing trukhin in a favorable light, here you are now, we are now showing you these footage of trukhin, who is suspected of bribing law enforcement officers and whose case has already been transferred to the anti-corruption e-e to the anti-corruption court, this is the question and we will try it now to answer and also summarize some political summaries of the year, roman romaniuk, political columnist of ukrainian pravda, novels , joins the broadcast. in the last two years, a lot of attention has been paid to novels. do you have an answer to the question why they show a slightly favorable light in the national marathon, is it a coincidence, or is it a purposeful goal that someone set for themselves absolutely consciously, well, uh, the only marathon is not uh i don't know, it's not a public transport stop, where you can accidentally

come and get caught in the frame of tv cameras . this is what is planned. people make a plan for broadcasting and sit down. the heads of tv channels of entire holdings agree on who will be sweet, who will show what, everyone is sitting. presidents, several people in the morning, deputies of the main office of the president and advisers and similar people, and they also check who will be on the air, when what will be shown and whether it does not conflict with some national interest . it is simply impossible, so it was possible to accidentally get into the list of servants of the people, such and such yes , perhaps, but they accidentally got into the air of the only news , it is not possible, therefore, most likely, friends, a few of us. well, probably quite the president i don't think that any of the executives of the

ukrainian media holding is a big supporter of this poltava people's elected official, a lover of buns and expensive audis that crash nicely on the roads, a spit lover, a lover of buns - this is mr. yurchenko, a people's deputy from the servant of the people er, this is kyiv, yes, atrochem maybe an audi lover, well, well, look at two novels, trukhin actually has a very dubious reputation in the case of the anti-corruption court, why is he in the office of the president, uh, such is the story here, i think it’s time to talk a little more broadly on the problem a bit nathan uh, what is it now ? yes, there are obvious and unambiguous things about which we all know about this case, thanks to uh, misha the weaver, everyone knows about this story with an audi broken on the road, an accident on the

boryspil highway and and this is definitely a story, if this happened after such a thing in some civilized society and the deputy simply signed a power of attorney and would go, uh, if he really wants to give out some gifts and help children there, then he wouldn't go there. he wouldn't help himself with uh, these children having status a people's deputy and because it's just shameful to behave like that, but a little before the war he was important for the servant of the people that well, how did the people in the party say that he was political about the financial issues of the financial side of the party's life and therefore if he was the bearer of such sensitive information after the war, er, in the first months of the war, when er, well , a little, i mean, at the end of february, at the beginning of march, there was a little revaluation of values, and do you remember zelensky talking to some students and saying

about what he was asked about no less scandalous well, a little less scandalous , of course, a member of the team, let's say the president, the minister of education scarlet yes, and he was asked, yes, well, like a person well, she was caught plagiarizing, that is, well, it's some kind of common knowledge so why us you do you still keep him in the team? zelensky then said that, you know, for me, this is the russian invasion, because the world needs to be done after. that he holds the university there, how do they respond promptly there, and because for zelensky, this is a sign that some previous sins can be forgiven, eh. as far as i know from communicating with people in the service of the people, the same

position in the office regarding trochin is somewhat clear. not that it does not help the children of poltava, and it is required to somehow look there. and that, well, it cannot be said openly, but he was sent to several countries for negotiations on direct or indirect supplies of weapons, and he brought agreements from there and accordingly weapons for the armed forces and how i understand that it became the indulgence that he received in the eyes of the office and now he can try to whiten his reputation. well , although it seems to me that after the news from nabu , in principle, all these attempts will be in vain. well, we'll see. so how long will it end? we don't put a full stop in the trochinan case. okay, now to the other results of the year of

political appearances on tv, this is the same image project, so that is, it no longer affects the court, it does not carry any if the anti-corruption court, you say, you say that he is a little guilty, and that he really tried to bribe the police and wanted to go quietly into the forest, well after that it will be very difficult to imagine how he will be beaten again at marathons so so good ukrainian truth recently made a big publication where you where you were a co-author and you tried to sum up some political results of the year and it was about the fact that the head of the president's office, andriy yarmak, received a lot of influence, if you summarize how much andriy borisovych has expanded his influence over the last year against the background of the war, again, the last few days have taught me a lot question and i don't get tired of saying er repeating this article which is what we all talk about, it should be read in its entirety, that

is, you can just take a piece from yarmak and read only it that it is not completely does not completely correspond to what we wanted to say so, what did it go through? we were talking about the fact that zelenskyi has so much global power. well, there is a section about zelenskyi’s government called uh, the absolutization of the president, and that is, in essence , uh, absolute monarchy, there is absolutely somewhere to twist it. so when the chosen one is obviously the chosen one in a democratic way, the president has such wide-ranging powers that, in principle, are not prescribed by anything and are not regulated by anything, that he is essentially like me and is a state of this type. zelenskyi can safely say that in principle it will be so. which is starting to worry and disturb everyone who knows a little about the police that by and large, there is no tabachnyk,

no, medvedchuk is too much for me, lyovochkin, yanukovych , no. moreover, there is some rainer for poroshenko have never had such a level of influence and such opportunities in e-e to influence all key decisions in the state, and always remember the times of petro poroshenko, imagine that someone from the president's office can afford to point to the prime minister, the head of the executive of a separate branch of government executive, and well , it was quite difficult to assume such a thing conditionally. i think volodymyr borysovych groysman looked at it with great surprise. is there a spoon or spoon on which you would like to allow yourself now it is not something that is possible, it is like the working model, how does the government work? but at the same time, despite the fact that yermak has, well, just crazy influence, well, like in absolute numbers, speaking like this, he has one, and we have one. well, i don’t know, the problem is not a problem

. all his political weight, he essentially has no electoral weight, that is, as an independent politician, andriy yarmak is impossible. you saw some closed sociologies before the war, all the open sociologies that were published, firstly, there is no recognition, secondly, those who know him in they mostly treat him negatively and even such big positive cases for which type you have to sincerely and openly thank andriy borisovych as an exchange of prisoners , for example, a really big thing that deserves respect and to say so about it , even such things are not given to him electoral bonuses, i.e., without volodymyr zelensky, andriy yermak does not exist and cannot exist in politics,

and this was what we wanted to say in the text that, in principle, on the one hand, he has a huge influence, but he does not need it. well , i don’t know how to demonize and fear that it is not his influence, that is, he is a tool in the hands of the all-powerful president, but a tool, you know how himars is so political, eh, do you want volodymyr zelensky to run for a second term, and yarmak said that he does not know if volodymyr zelensky wants to, but he would really like to for zelenskyi to run for office is so obvious and why is it so obvious to you? what did we talk about before that, that the government is such an intoxicating drink? you know, as far as i know. look at petro

poroshenko . the whole time there and everything and what we have been tired of still ca n't leave and can't calm down so i want to go back so here and people who have so much despite the fact that poroshenko already lived in a time when it was necessary to negotiate, when it was necessary to find a balance, some such things well , now i just have to say, i want to do it, i want to do it, i want such an initiative, a second, an initiative. and please tell me , are they thinking about elections at all at the bank, because you don’t ask anyone in public, and they can still embarrass you, saying, how can you ask such a thing in the country, the war, what kind of politics, what kind of election, nobody thinks about it. well, the deputies are already giving candy to children, molding their photos on candy, it looks like they are preparing for the election at the bank, see here the answer to this question is very simple and complicated at the same time, that uh, the election during wars are impossible in order to start thinking about elections, you have to have an election somewhere. what is it? well,

a certain process that has a beginning and an end, and this process usually takes several months of intensive preparation, then the elections themselves and uh- is well, like saving the results and some advanced contributions. and now, well, to start thinking about it, you need to understand when the war will end, and if you know when the war will end, then you can think about the elections, plan something, make some teams, put together something else, but i don't think that on this planet, there is now a person who can say that the war will end there on such and such a date in the summer of next year, which means that elections are on the axis and you can plan elections . but well, i tell them all. well, in order for you to be convinced that as soon as the war ends, we will have presidential and parliamentary elections at the same time, and i

think that this would be a very logical step, because even though that this type of zelensky has a huge personal rating now and well, just crazy support and that's okay well, he would understand if he was the face of the ukrainian resistance at the same time you are his party's prospects, let's say so much less uh, uh, rosy and i want her now there again anyway according to the latest sociological data, which we have seen, as much as they can, of course, it will be objective now, well, his party is in first place so far, but it is unlikely that it will get such a triumphant position that they had in the 19th year well, the further they will be. the later, if the elections were to be held from today, then this situation can only worsen, because the electoral questions have completely changed, and a huge part of the electorate, the servant of the people, has now entered

the field of those who hesitate, those who are undecided and who is somehow looking for their strength in the given and, if the presidential and parliamentary elections are held at the same time, then it is obvious that zelensky, due to his powerful rating, will be able to pull up the party's result a little bit, so i am personally convinced that if you take care of it, they will be at the same time presidential and parliamentary but at the same time when they will be and whether they can be it all depends on how the video 16 and 16 will go tonight today the defense forces shot down all 16 attack drones with which russia attacked ukraine this was reported by the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine. it is noted that russia attacked ukraine with kamikaze ira drones.
