Special service of the people

The SBU and the Ministry of Internal Affairs clashed because of Zelensky. The showman himself and presidential candidate himself is sure: he is “sewing” the matter

The story is not as fresh as fresh as it might seem at first glance.

In mid -February, when the ratings published by sociologists began to confidently show the increasing separation of Vladimir Zelensky from other presidential candidates, they posted some correspondence and audio recording into the network. The journalist of the 1+1 television channel (belongs to the oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, the release of the 95th quarter, the children's children's children's children) raised the conversation of the deputy from the BPP Alexander Chernenko with an assistant to President Petro Poroshenko (presumably-Yuri Onishchenko).

The interlocutors discussed how to arrange a ban on showing on television on the third part of the series “Servant of the People”, where the main positive role, for a minute, a former teacher of history, which became the president of Ukraine, was played by Zelensky himself. They wondered which of the national council on television to give for non -explorers of the Netbans (censorship substitute) for previous series, which, in fact, became a campaign product, and which media can now be connected to the media destruction of the candidate.

The topic did not develop into a full scandal. And the ratings of the “servants of the people” of the AKA Zelensky continued to grow until he headed the list of favorites of the campaign. From the mockery and irony regarding the “clown of Beni”, so in the media they often call Kolomoisky, public opinion turned to estimates for the weight of his political tettes.

As it turned out, Zelensky in December 2018 was seen with Poroshenko-on the initiative of the latter.

“Poroshenko explained how difficult the situation is in the country, and how he tries. And you, that is, I ( *Zelensky. - *O. M. ) are joking, ”said the showman. Later it became known about the meeting of Vladimir with Kurt Volker, the special representative of the United States in Ukraine. Walker remained silent. Zelensky posted photos on Facebook: “They achieved complete understanding on all issues. He was glad again to see the pan -US ambassador Marie Yovanovich, whom we have repeatedly met. ”

Then a private conversation followed with a competitor, the mayor of Lviv Andrei Sadov (recently removed from a distance in favor of a single candidate from democratic forces, ex-Minister of Defense Anatoly Gritsenko). “We drank coffee. It was just a pleasant conversation, a worldview conversation is enough, ”said Andrei Ivanovich to the press.

The “Ze” conversation took place, this is the call sign of the candidate, with the ambassadors of Western countries. Vladimir, who still avoided direct communication with journalists, flashed only on the screen, in remote access, told a briefing: they say, presented his election program before representatives of the EU countries, promised to overcome corruption. A source in diplomatic circles added details:

Zelensky upset and embarrassed everyone with uncertain answers about the solution to the problem of Donbass and negotiations with Putin.

On March 4, Vladimir Zelensky went to the foreign press. The New York Times, Bloomberg, Le Figaro, The Economist, Der Spiegel, The Washington Post ... Other domestic politicians have not caused such interest in themselves as the showman in a month! Vladimir announced: after the presidential campaign, his party “The Servant of the People” intends to go to the Rada with a good result - the ideologist of the campaign, Doctor of Sciences, lawyer Ruslan Stefanchuk is already engaged in the “structure of bills”.

“There is another awesome guy, an anti -corruption,” Zelensky pleased. “They would like to see him in our team.” The reaction to the question of the prospects for ending the war in the Donbass was now brought to the necessary severity (it is difficult to argue with the fact that not the worst masters of the word work on Ze):

“I would like to ask (the Russian side): what is it, what is the reason, why did you come to our land? This is just a discussion called. I would like to ensure that their conditions are recorded on separate paper. ”

According to the expressed Zelensky, “the Minsk agreements do not work. It is necessary to expand the negotiating table, attract the UK and the USA to this. Of course, you need to talk with representatives of the Russian Federation. We still need to discuss. ”

However, on March 4, an unpleasant surprise was able to throw this candidate for president of Ukraine. The security guard of Zelensky’s office called “102”: he noticed that on the roof of a neighboring residential building, unknown people install suspicious objects. A police outfit and explosives arrived in an instant.

Unknown people were not caught, explosive objects were not found, but they found elements of the equipment for listening.

The information, as expected, was registered in the journal of a single accounting of applications and messages, transferred to the prosecutor's office and the SBU, and the investigation began.

The Minister of the Interior Arsen Avakov confirmed on Twitter: there was such an incident. But one phrase in the minister’s commentary went beyond the usual message: “Where is the border between the competition in the struggle for post and crime?” While Avakov’s subscribers were wondering in whose garden the minister, People's Deputy Anton Gerashchenko, the ex-adviser Avakov, said on his Facebook page: “This special purpose technique ( *eavesdropping device.- *O. M. ) could not be bought on the Internet or in the bazaar. It is sold only to the subjects of operational-search activities that have a license issued by the SBU. ” And he suggested that Ukraine is on the threshold of its Watergate, associated with wiretapping political opponents.

Needless to say, the reaction of the SBU to the sharp attack of the friendly power department was not long in coming? The behavior of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was officially qualified as the spread of untruthful information to discredit the Ukrainian special services. Moreover, the service announced that Avakov and the politicians close to it “deliberately released the videos and photos of special equipment, revealed the forms and methods of the work of SBU employees, which deliberately allowed a leakage of limited access, and harmed the national interests of the state.”

SBU chief Vasily Gritsak made a press statement: the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was pre-notified of operational and technical measures on March 4. They, they say, took place on the basis of the decision of the Court of Appeal in agreement with the Prosecutor General in relation to a person who is reasonably suspected of treason. The surname of the person was not named, but from the context it followed: the operation was “lit”, that is, failed. Gritsak confirmed his readiness, despite the scandal, to provide the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with access to the materials of this criminal case, so that they make sure: neither Zelensky nor to any other politician “special-purpose technique” had nothing to do. “If they had enough conscience to accuse the service, let them find the courage to find out the truth, and then refute their groundless statements and apologize to the public and security officers of Ukraine,” the head of the SBU summed up.

There was no apology from the Ministry of the Interior. But there was an outstanding application in response to the statement: “... Unfortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not have full-time posts of sorcerers, molfarov ( predictors-Ukrainian ) and psychics who would inform police officers ahead of time that the SBU conducts secret secret investigative investigative actions with the installation of special equipment.” And they recommended colleagues more thoroughly to prepare the operatives - so that any guard could not detect them “in execution”.

Then the observers in a full voice spoke of an interagency election fight. And if there was no doubt regarding the head of the SBU - the “man of Poroshenko”, then

The game of Minister Avakov was not so unambiguous. "Survings" for Yulia Tymoshenko? Put on Zelensky?

The State Bureau of Investigations opened a case on the disclosure of secret information by the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And the candidate “ZE”, to whom the scandal only added popularity, told about the pressure on him to the deputy Secretary of State Hale and, according to sources, was taken very seriously. Zelensky also wrote on Facebook that he became a defendant in a criminal case: they say that soon there would be information that he knocked out a man of a man - seventeen years ago. It is still difficult to understand whether this is a joke. Law enforcement officers do not give comments.

But it is known that the third season of the series “The Servant of the People” has not yet received a rental certificate. The premiere was announced at the beginning of March, but then the Committee of voters of Ukraine decided that under the “cover” of the satirical film lies the election campaign of the candidate Zelensky, that is, political advertising.

You have to pay for advertising.
