Open letter from former Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko to citizen Viktor Yanukovych

Victor Fedorovich!

Yesterday, in the mobile prison into which you turned my treatment ward, I saw on all your television channels video recordings of my prison life, filmed with hidden video cameras.

Considering the extreme immorality of this act of yours, I decided to write you an open letter.

First, I confirm the authenticity of these materials to 90%.

Especially in the part that concerns my physical therapy classes with a rehabilitation doctor in the medical treatment room.

Secondly, recordings in the treatment room and other rooms are made by hidden video surveillance cameras, which are installed on your personal instructions.

Now the fact of constant hidden video recording is proven and this is your criminal offense.

Thirdly, a significant part of the medical procedures carried out in this treatment room requires complete removal of clothing, and hidden video cameras recorded all this and continue to record it continuously throughout the entire period of my treatment.

And this is already a moral crime that you are committing.

Fourthly, the colony workers who support me, after the publication of these videos on television channels, gave me the exact location plan of all the hidden video cameras installed on your instructions in the premises where I am.

The public may be interested to know that three video cameras are installed in the room for confidential meetings with defense attorneys, two hidden video cameras directly in the shower stall and one above each of the two toilets (sorry for the details). There are so many hidden video surveillance cameras installed that it is impossible to hide from them anywhere, day or night.

And lastly, in a special room near my prison ward there are monitors for round-the-clock video surveillance of me, carried out exclusively by male officers who work in the colony; male officers who work in the prosecutor's office cover this, male officers who work in the SBU technically provide this.

This is done openly, in front of my eyes, obviously for additional psychological pressure. Unfortunately, just like the president, so are the officers who serve him.

These videos are sent to you electronically daily.

Due to these circumstances, I do not have any requests or proposals for you.

Should I ask you to stop this outrage?

So you organized it yourself. Ask to initiate criminal cases against the performers of this dirty work? So how will your attorney general file a criminal case against you? You are the ideologist, organizer and performer of this action, unprecedented in its disgustingness. That is why I have only three questions for you, which I ask you to answer publicly.

Firstly, what do you personally want to see on video recordings made by hidden video cameras in the shower, in the toilets, in the prison ward, in rooms where medical procedures are carried out with complete undress?

What do you do with these films?

Are you browsing by yourself or in a fun company with friends? Perhaps you gain additional confidence in yourself and your political capabilities from watching a female political opponent in a state of undress? Perhaps you enjoy this specific power over your political opponent and feel stronger and more successful because of it?

If you answered yourself positively to all these questions, then this, Viktor Fedorovich, is a diagnosis, and you need to immediately receive anonymous treatment, this may become chronic.

The second question I have for you.

When will there be a continuation of this interesting series on your television channels? When can we expect the video to continue in the “NUDE” style? Perhaps you think that by showing these materials you are humiliating me? No. You humiliate yourself, revealing your true essence to Ukraine and the world. Each such “leaking” of video materials recorded by hidden cameras about my life in prison turns you, for all normal people, into... It’s better for you not to know...

And the last, third question.

Would you like to try to place your wife Lyudmila or your mother, if she is still alive, under 24-hour public video surveillance with live broadcast on the Internet? Show on your television channels how they live, how they sleep, undress, take a shower or relieve themselves. If you have such exotic fantasies of secretly spying on the private lives of women like the show "Behind the Glass", start with the women in your family.

Perhaps then you will understand the boundary between sadism and morality, between baseness and dignity.

Considering that I understand well who I am dealing with and fully understand your psychological portrait, I do not blame you for anything and even forgive you.

You are who you are.

And no one can make you different. No amount of Darwinism can turn a jackal into a lion and vice versa.

In principle, I don’t have any requests for you other than these questions.

I have a request to all women of Ukraine and the world who have honor, dignity and solidarity.

Before you communicate with Yanukovych, just remember that he watches the prison life of his female political opponent around the clock through video cameras hidden in the toilets and do not shake his hand, because then it will be impossible to wash it.

I have the same request to men in Ukraine and abroad who love their mothers, wives, daughters, sisters.

Do not shake hands with Yanukovych, because by doing this you will humiliate all women who have dignity, by doing this you will support Yanukovych in his dirty everyday entertainments.

And to you, Viktor Fedorovich, I inform you that I refuse such “treatment” under video cameras broadcast on the Internet and on TV, which is more like being in the dungeons of the Gulag.

In such conditions, they do not treat, but cripple.

I demand that I be returned to the colony in the condition I am.

I will be free to receive treatment if you don’t peep at me through the keyhole.

I hope for the decision of the European Court of Human Rights and that the Ukrainians will finally understand who you are and remove you from the presidency along with the mafia you lead.

No respect for you
Yulia Timoshenko,
October 17, 2012
