Stanislav Tolchin
“A thief should sit… in the deputy minister’s chair!” — it seems that this is precisely the opinion held by Vladimir Groysman (Read more: Vladimir Groysman. Dark spots in the biography of the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada), who is actively promoting the general director of the long-suffering state-owned enterprise Makeyevugol to the post of First Deputy Minister of Energy and Coal Industry. Among people close to these circles, this decision causes consternation: for example, People’s Deputy of Ukraine, Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs Anton Gerashchenko is categorical in his assessment of what is happening, calling such an appointment a direct path to the future cutting of public funds and significant progress in corruption schemes.
This opinion can hardly be called unfounded: Mr. Tolchin has dozens of criminal cases on his record, one more beautiful than the other: here there is abuse of official position, misuse of budget funds, shortages, and fraud, and the alleged damage to the state was estimated at tens of millions of hryvnia. (read more about him in the article Stanislav Tolchin – the “general” of corruption from Makeyevka) But instead of a harsh but fair punishment, Stanislav Marksovich receives a promotion in the form of appointment as deputy head of the Antimonopoly Committee of the Donetsk region (later – the Kyiv branch). Where, however, he did not serve for long, returning to Makeevugol, to his former place, where he continued to actively supply his rather large family with material goods.
A lot of luxury real estate (in prestigious areas of Donetsk, Kyiv, Yalta, as well as in Cyprus), an incredible amount of vehicles equipped with garages and parking spaces) is just a small list of what the swindler managed to accumulate during his undivided reign in the coal field. And this is with a declared (in 2014) annual income of 111 thousand hryvnia. So the prospects for the coal industry with the appointment of Stanislav Tolchin are very unpresentable: the same Anton Gerashchenko is sure that it will inevitably lead to a complete collapse and destruction of the coal industry. However, who knows? Maybe this is precisely the task of the supreme authorities? Then the appointment is completely justified; a better candidate could not be found.
