Gorgan-Lyalka Alexander: Medvedchuk’s doll in the chair of the Kyiv governor. PART 2

BEGINNING: Alexander Gorgan-Lyalka: Medvedchuk’s puppet in the Kyiv governor’s chair. PART 1

Alexander Gorgan-Lyalka. Vyshgorod Cartel

In 2005, Oleksandr Lalka quickly changed into an embroidered shirt, siding with the new “orange” government. His former boss Ryabika distanced himself from the SDPU (o) and went to the “Party of Putin (*criminal)’s Policy” (which buried his political career), but Lalka, on the contrary, arranged his life very well in the new conditions. One could even say that he began to arrange it in advance, even before the “orange revolution”, when he became close to the people’s deputy Oleksandr Marchenko. He had also previously been a leader of youth organizations (that’s how they met), then joined “Our Ukraine”, but despite the disagreements between Yushchenko and Medvedchuk, Lalka did not lose touch with Marchenko, and in 2004 he began to visit him more and more often. Apparently, he sensed with his nose the imminent change of power. And then Alexander Lalka found himself a wife, Irina Sergeyevna: a former photo model who worked as an assistant to Alexander Marchenko. Already in 2005, she gave birth to his aforementioned son Lyubomir (and then another son Askold and daughter Ekaterina). And in the same 2005, Lalka replaced his wife as an assistant to MP Marchenko.

At the same time, using his connections in the youth party “PORA”, Lalka received the first place on its list in the elections to the Vyshgorod District Council. It would seem that this was similar to political exile, however, according to Skeleton.InfoVyshgorod district is a Klondike of land corruption! And there Alexander Lalka quickly entered the circle of the local corruption cartel. Among its members were:

• Yaroslav Moskalenko, former head of the Vyshgorod district administration. In addition to participating in the “division” of land shares, he was involved in gas schemes in which he was associated with Yuriy Boyko and Dmitry Firtash.
• Oleg Pismenny – headed the Vyshgorod tax administration, covered up illegal enterprises. In 2016, he became deputy governor of Gorgan for economics and finance.
• Dmytro Lykov was the chief architect of the Vyshgorod district, “covered up” illegal construction on the lands of the Kyiv hydroelectric power station and the banks of canals, actively participated in the illegal “division” of land plots, including through “garden associations”. In 2017, he was appointed acting director of the department of urban development and architecture of the regional state administration by Gorgan.
• Ivan Klyuzko, was the head of the surgical department of the Vyshgorod Central District Hospital, and since December 2015, the chief physician, a participant in corruption scandals. He became famous for his undeclared Porsche (with the number “6666”), which his friend allegedly “gave him a ride”.

By the way, Alexander Lalka himself also acquired a good plot of land in the Vyshgorod district, on which a house (206 sq. m.) was built, registered to his father, Lyubomir Lalka. Formally, he allegedly bought it in 2015 for only 438 thousand hryvnia (about 20 thousand dollars). It is in this house that the Kiev governor officially resides now, who, according to his declaration, also personally owns a house in his native Kalush (405 sq. m.) and an apartment in Kyiv.

While establishing corrupt connections in Vyshgorod, Alexander Gorgan (Lyalka) simultaneously founded and headed the Association of Young Donors of Ukraine, and also became deputy chairman of the Coordination Council of Young Lawyers of Ukraine (not without the help of old connections with Medvedchuk). True, he never succeeded as a lawyer or attorney, succeeding more in the role of a “social activist”, and most of his organizations are just ways to obtain funding or loud titles that corrupt officials like to hide behind.

Doll-Gorgan lives and doesn’t worry!

And so in 2008, Alexander Lalka unexpectedly for everyone changed his last name to Gorgan. Why he changed it, why to Gorgan specifically – he did not explain this to anyone. Everything was done “on the sly”, Alexander Lalka seemed to disappear, and in his place appeared a new person, Alexander Gorgan. However, numerous sources Skeleton.Info They claimed that the reason for this was not only his old strong friendship with Viktor Medvedchuk and financial machinations in UNKMO, but that he had allegedly already managed to “screw up” quite a bit in Vyshgorod.

So when Alexander Gorgan “appeared” in Kyiv in 2010, not everyone recognized him as the former youth leader Lyalka.

Meanwhile, he launched a flurry of activity. First, he staged a grand scam with the Kyiv Water Stadium, the opening of which he actively lobbied for (declaring himself to be an athlete-rower). And not only personally, but by involving youth organizations, residents of Obolon, all his connections in the Kiev City Council and the Kiev Regional Council. As a result, in 2012, the stadium was opened (using budget money), boats and catamarans were purchased for it, service personnel were hired (also using budget money), and Alexander Gorgon himself was appointed director. But less than two years later, the filthy stadium, which was turning into a “garbage pier” before our eyes, caused such a public outcry that the city authorities were forced to conduct an inspection of its work. It turned out that the stadium’s funding allocated by the city was simply stolen by its director, Gorgan: 3 million hryvnias intended to replenish the company’s authorized capital were squandered on Gorgan’s personal needs, and funds for the stadium’s maintenance “evaporated”. The staff of service personnel existed only on paper, the salaries of fictitious workers were “stealthily”, and it is not surprising that the facility fell into disrepair within two years! The fate of the boats and catamarans also remained unknown: it seems they were simply written off and sold, that is, they were also stolen!

Another thing was surprising: that as a result of this inspection, Oleksandr Gorgan-Lyalka never ended up behind bars, although the new government was already trumpeting about a merciless fight against corruption. Instead, in March 2015, he was appointed head of the Vyshgorodka district administration! And a couple of months later, the Kyiv City Council closed this issue altogether, deciding to liquidate the water stadium as an enterprise, with the transfer of what was left of it to the KM “Sports Complex”. As they say, right under the noses of the prosecutor’s office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and NABU!

When the first part of the material was published, the following information was received from readers in a personal message for Skelet.Info. We present it with minimal editing:

Valery Moshensky

Before the governorship, he worked in Obolon in a kind of KP Vodny Stadion, the head of which was arranged by Moshensky Valery Zakharovich. Lyalka’s duties included watching over the order near the cottages on the embankment, he assembled a team of athletes-titushki, and they brought order there at their own discretion, engaged in banal racketeering from entrepreneurs. Everyone who wanted to work there – shawarma, coffee machines, etc., paid Lyalka and his team 100-200 UAH per day (at the rate of 8). Lyalka also provided power services on the road to those who wanted for money, the only condition of Moshensky was that there were no traders or musicians, etc. near the cottages (by the way, Moshensky has a cottage there, the first one near the Scorpion restaurant, according to rumors, he gave the same cottage there to Medvedchuk, with whom, according to rumors, they are also godfathers.

There was a story about Moshensky and Lalka: opposite Moshensky’s cottage on the opposite side of the bay, some company swam across and had a picnic with music. Moshensky got mad, called Lalka, gave them $1,500 or $2,500 to swim across and beat up these tourists.

Moshensky is a colorful person, Google it, he owns the company Planeta-bud. This is his crane Zakhary, named after his father, that overturned a few years ago on Rybalsky).

And, by the way, about the military uniform. On the first day after Mezhyhirya was captured, and in the morning people were let in, Alexander Gorgan parked some pickup truck near the entrance, climbed on it in camouflage with a loudspeaker, and talked some nonsense.

Governor’s Puppet Theatre

Back in 2012, having received a water stadium from the “criminal authorities” to plunder, Alexander Gorgan began to more diligently portray himself as a nationally conscious oppositionist. In particular, many remember his participation in the so-called “language Maidan”, when the opposition fiercely opposed the adoption of the law on languages, which gave Russian a rather vague “regional” status. Then Gorgan, getting into character, enthusiastically pushed speeches into the microphone about how this law was “forced Russification” and other nonsense (by his own admission, being a Russian speaker), and then went to agitate the Berkut fighters. But then the radicals tried to attack the Berkut, which in response began to push back the protesters, a crush began, and Gorgon found himself unsuccessfully caught in the vice of street riots. The press immediately published news about how the Berkut strangled an ardent defender of the Ukrainian language “who asked them not to beat people.” They did not report why “guy Sashko” (as opposition journalists called him) did not also ask the radicals from Svoboda not to rush at the police cordon.

It is impossible to say for sure how exactly Oleksandr Gorgan earned such high support from the opposition of that time, but it is unlikely that it was his participation in the “language Maidan” alone. The media reported that he came to Solidarity through his connections in UDAR and specifically among the deputies of the Kyiv City Council. At the same time, journalists also said that Gorgan did not break ties with Viktor Medvedchuk and was promoted to the new government as his protégé. There was even a rumor that Medvedchuk paid 50 million dollars for Gorgan’s appointment as governor! In addition, Gorgan received enormous support from Yaroslav Moskalenko, who has been sitting in the Verkhovna Rada since 2012 (first under the flags of the Party of Regions, now of the “Will of the People”), and is now also a member of the office of advisers to the Kyiv governor.

In general, there are many versions, but Gorgan’s career is truly surprising. Having barely escaped responsibility for the water stadium and received the position of chairman of the Vyshgorod District State Administration instead of a term, in October 2015, Oleksandr Gorgan-Lyalka received a mandate as a deputy of the Kyiv Regional Council and was nominated by the Solidarity faction for the post of its chairman. However, he lost the vote to the leader of the Batkivshchyna faction, Anna Starikova, with whom he has since become irreconcilable enemies. But what could not be achieved by voting was achieved by appointment. In October 2016, Oleksandr Gorgan was named the winner of the competition for the post of head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration. As reported by the media, the competition was as “transparent” as subsequent competitions, in which Gorgan himself pushed his Vyshgorod accomplices, as well as other officials with a very scandalous past, into positions in the Regional State Administration.

Gorgan-Lyalka Alexander: Medvedchuk’s doll in the chair of the Kyiv governor. PART 2

Those in the know speak briefly about the work of the current Kyiv governor: the budget and land are being “sawed” in three shifts. But not only them. Thus, the media recently covered the topic of the shadow side of the passenger transportation business in the Kyiv region (specifically “minibuses”), in which they provided very interesting information. Firstly, illegal levies from “minibus drivers” are a long-standing source of additional income for officials in the Kyiv region (and not only Kyiv). Given that the volume of shadow income of the carriers themselves (in excess of the declared ones) amounts to 1.4 billion hryvnia per year, about a third of them were taken away by corrupt officials “for approval”. Secondly, with the arrival of Oleksandr Gorgan to the post of governor, these levies increased sharply, while he was called “an old master of kickbacks”. And that it was precisely in connection with this that the carriers raised the cost of travel! That is, the issue is not about the increased price of gasoline and spare parts (they did not increase in price), but that Gorgan’s team is demanding more money from the “minibus drivers”! And, thirdly, that this collection of money is supposedly blessed by Bankova and is now being intensively used to replenish the election funds of “Solidarity” and its owner.

Meanwhile, the struggle for power at the level of the Kyiv region is intensifying.

What is the incident in September 2017 worth? when it came to assault in the regional council hall: Solidarity MP Vitaliy Karlyuk knocked out Batkivshchyna MP Vladislav Khakhulin. Governor Gorgan, who was present, claimed that Batkivshchyna itself had deliberately provoked the clashes and arranged a “set-up”, and that Tymoshenko’s supporters were generally preventing the Solidarity faction from increasing the budgets of doctors and teachers. Gorgan hasn’t lied so beautifully, perhaps, since the “language Maidan”!

However, it was not only that the odious Karlyuk is a member of the Solidarity faction. As journalists found out, he has a long trail of corrupt deals, raider takeovers, “fixed deals” and other shady dealings, some of which may involve Alexander Gorgan-Lyalka. And there was also an interesting story about the conflict between Karlyuk and the former head of the Kagarlik District State Administration Viktor Kolyada. due to control over the enterprise “Kagarlikteploset”which involved a Dagestani ethnic organized crime group and regional council deputy from “Our Region” Yaroslav Dobryansky. It was also reported that Karlyuk is a person from the entourage of the scandalous gas swindler Alexander Onishchenko, associated with the former gas schemer Yaroslav Moskalenko.

Perhaps to save his reputation, Vitaly Karlyuk staged an assassination attempt on himself in January 2018. This is what happened: the media reported a police story, and Alexander Gorgan posted a message on Facebook that an assassination attempt had been made on his comrade Karlyuk. They say that some villain hit him from behind and tried to “use an explosive device” (which turned out to be a “gutted” grenade, good only for a mallet), but Karlyuk was saved by a “lightning-fast reaction” and passing police officers. The “assassination attempt” version was so untenable that Karlyuk and Gorgan were simply laughed at, and the incident was soon no longer mentioned. Another performance from Lyalyka-Gorgan turned out to be a failure.

Gorgan-Lyalka Alexander: Medvedchuk’s doll in the chair of the Kyiv governor. PART 2

But the current Kyiv governor loves real firearms, and not some “Saiga”, but expensive European carbines. So, in February 2017, he bought himself a “Blaser R8 Professional”, which even in a simple version costs 110 thousand hryvnia. Interestingly, after receiving the post of governor, Oleksandr Gorgan-Lyalka “got himself into a pretty good outfit”: in November 2016, he also bought himself a “Land Cruiser 200” for a million hryvnia, in addition to the three foreign cars he already had. I wonder if this was paid for by the head of the Vyshgorod District State Administration or by the director of the Kyiv Water Stadium?
