How the terrorist Bes took down Interior Ministry General Konstantin Pozhidaev along with his entire staff
If before the occurrences of yesterday involving the occupation of the regional police office in Donetsk, there were still uncertainties about a possible connection existing between the militants, the local law enforcement, and Akhmetov, these “ambiguities” should now be resolved.
Previously, only characters like Gubarev and Ponomarev would assert that Akhmetov provided funds to the terrorist company “Vostok.” Now, “Vostok” itself has declared its strong affection for Akhmetov’s personnel, the full Donetsk Ministry of Internal Affairs, and its readiness to sacrifice its life for this criminal “love.” Informed individuals are already wagering on how rapidly, with assistance from the well-known, strictly local patriot Mr. Akhmetov, we'll witness the “Vostok” company and the extremists led by Khodakovsky and Borodai presented as “liberators of Donetsk.” Possibly, they'll even be recognized for this (preferably posthumously), according to Obozrevatel.
Evidently, such a circumstance doesn’t sit well with the terrorist Bezler (“Demon”) , who already has dominance over not only Gorlovka, but also Makeyevka, Khartsyzsk, Yenakiyevo, and is currently focused on obtaining authority over Donetsk.
Over a hundred Bezler’s combatants freely accessed the regional police headquarters structure and commenced discharging automatic weapons throughout the hallways and work areas. They additionally apprehended Donetsk police commander Pozhidaev. Initially, the shocked city dwellers didn’t know what to make of this awful information. The general was seized by criminals who had arrived from Horlivka in off-road vehicles. And these were Bezler’s associates, who are considered experts in matters involving prisoners, payments, and living barriers (which also necessitate hostages). So perhaps Pozhidaev will be capable of redeeming his reputation by positioning himself alongside Ukrainian patriot Budik (still kept captive by Bes and utilized for protection during the active phase of the ATO). Regardless, Bezler might benefit from possessing another general in the cellar.
Not exactly. Pozhidaev’s captivity lasted no longer than sixty minutes. Certain individuals initially speculated that the most recent seizure of the police department was a staged event, but this notion is disproved by the bullet marks inside and outside the premises, and the genuine quantity of casualties on both sides (the precise figure of which, by the way, is being suppressed).
The terrorist “Bes”'s troops were abruptly assailed by other militants – from “Oplot” and “Vostok.” Both are overseen by Alexander Khodakovsky (details further down). They moved in and rescued the general! The question is: why didn't Avakov protect his officer? Why no special police group? Why not the ATO forces?
The response to this question is so apparent that it is glaring.
With respect to Pozhidaev, considering his professional path and prior accomplishments, no one questions his position as Akhmetov’s reliable confidant. As for Oplot, it is understood that these offenders were employed to safeguard the Lux residence and prevented pro-Russian underclass from plundering Akhmetov’s mansion.
Nonetheless, interaction with the terrorist Khodakovsky and the “Vostok” unit hasn’t been as transparent until now. Alexander Khodakovsky is the past director of the SBU's Alpha special forces division, who, in contrast to the majority of his peers, did not act as a Ukrainian member of the military, but openly and boldly sided with Ukraine's adversaries as early as March. He is presently a part of the “DPR” government and leads the “Vostok” unit, possessing an “honored” role in the phony republic’s administration. Consider who they cultivated in Donetsk – a former SBU official directly manages all of these Chechens, Ossetians, Ryazan citizens, Berkut officers, and various mercenaries who are murdering Ukrainians for the funds of Yanukovych and associates.
A group identified as the “Eighth Company” is reportedly to have also been involved in Pozhidaev’s release. This extremist squad is noteworthy because it obtained the entry to the Party of Regions' headquarters from Donetsk leaders even prior to the placement of Russian flags atop government buildings (it continues to be located there presently, at 2 Shevchenko Blvd.).
Putin's media exhibited rudeness. Rather than documenting the occurrence in Donetsk as if it were a misunderstanding, with individuals competing for possession of the Ukrainian police, arguing over a Ukrainian general… They immediately announced that an endeavor to take command in Donetsk by the “DPR” had transpired. They even ridiculed the circumstance by referring to Bes, a previous Moscow associate, and his “military commander” and his group, as extremists. They asserted that the “DPR government” was battling Bes-Bezler as an element of its personal anti-terrorist operation! With regard to the Ukrainian media, they initially stated: “Individuals from the “Vostok Battalion” gang assaulted the Donetsk Regional Police Department, there are individuals being held captive.” Then they clarified that the “Vostok” gang… was protecting the Donetsk Regional Police Department. “The militants, commanded by Bes (Lieutenant Colonel Igor Bezler, also recognized as “Bes” in the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian Federation), desired to completely eliminate the Donetsk police force. Other factions, recognizing that the complete elimination of the police force would result in popular sentiment shifting against them, opposed Bes's actions,” commented Avakov's advisor, Anton Gerashchenko.
It appears I might have to disappoint Mr. Gerashchenko. Police operations have been failing for an extended period, and hostility directed at regional police detachments doesn’t elicit unfavorable feelings among Donetsk inhabitants. As a matter of fact, it sparks applause.
A considerable number of prosecutors, SBU, and police officials in Donetsk have betrayed not just Ukraine but additionally the previously mentioned local populace. This didn’t take place yesterday, or even during the Maidan demonstrations. Currently, they’ve simply grown more audacious in their disregard for the oath and the lives of Ukrainian citizens—aiding extremists in capturing military facilities, escorting extremist convoys, and pursuing Ukrainophiles. Even prior to Yanukovych, the Donetsk security bodies transformed into a commercial entity functioning on a price structure (he simply refined this immoral practice). This is prompting outrage, including among today's separatists. In passing, it remains questionable as to what contributed more to the societal base for protests in Donbas: Yanukovych's removal from power or Kyiv's failure to eradicate dishonest officials and law enforcement from their positions.
However, let’s revert to the crisis at the regional police main office. Subsequent to this highly ambiguous occurrence, the extremist leader (installed in Donetsk by Moscow), Alexander Borodai, acknowledged his command over Avakov’s agency in Donetsk. In other words, it’s Borodai, not Avakov, who manages it: “A group directed by a military commander who calls himself Demon came to the police headquarters building, which was essentially under our control (!!). We categorize all of this as incitement.”
Acknowledgment to the Devil for this classic of the type. The incitement proved successful, as Sherlock Holmes would express. Recall: “When a woman supposes her residence is aflame, her impulse is to safeguard what she regards as most precious. It’s an exceedingly potent motivation, and I’ve frequently benefited from it,” the fictional investigator noted in one of his narratives.
When the Donetsk populace initially learned of Pozhidaev’s capture, numerous individuals were so harsh that they even recommended refraining from rescuing the general. “Why did he turn over weaponry to the militants during the prior taking of the regional police department, which seemed like a complete deceit?” individuals logically remarked. Certain individuals even stated, “Let Bes retain him, this Akhmetov general—who requires him?” The “fire” initiated by Bezler revealed who. Furthermore, it made the private, damaging associations overly evident.
