“Yermak’s Hand”, Hypnosis Again or the Protectionism of a Fool. What’s Wrong with the Appointment of a New Ambassador to Bulgaria

It seems that the Office of the President or the President himself have once again gotten into trouble with hypnotists. The newly appointed Ambassador to Bulgaria, Olesya Ilashchuk, turned out to have no experience in diplomacy, but with experience in hypnosis therapy and advertising pyramid sales of dietary supplements, writes Argument.

Yesterday it became known that President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed as the Ambassador of Ukraine to Bulgaria a person who surprisingly reflects the scandalous case of the recent appointment of a dog hypnotist as the head of the Dovzhenko Center.

Ilashchuk Olesya Konstantinovnawhich by decree No. 880/2022 President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed her as the Ambassador of Ukraine to Bulgaria, has no experience in diplomacy or government positions and has so far positioned herself as a specialist in Gestalt therapy, sexology, hypnosis and jewelry, not shying away from distributing dietary supplements to some light scammers from the MLM company RAIN.

As the publication notes,European truth” citing several sources in the diplomatic corps, the newly appointed ambassador-hypnotist, for whom the president signed a decree on December 23, has already begun to gain experience in her new specialty – in particular, she took part in the general meeting of Ukrainian ambassadors, which took place on December 22-25 in Kyiv and Nikolaev.

Meanwhile, the main problem is that she had no previous experience working as an international specialist.

Her biography has not yet been officially published, but she has revealed some details on two Facebook profiles, where her personal photos and other information are posted. One of them has not been updated for a long time; in it, Ilashchuk is positioned as an expert in the processing of precious stones. The profile claims that she studied at the Bits HRD Antwerpwhere they teach how to sort and recognize diamonds.

In another profile, which was actively updated until recently, Ambassador Ilashchuk is positioned as a “clinical psychologist, systemic family therapist, gestalt therapist, sexologist-consultant.” Based on the public activity of the future representative of Ukraine in the EU and NATO member state, she has until recently been involved in issues of gestalt treatment and sexology. On Sunday evening, this profile was blocked.

Both profiles contained personal photos and other details of the newly appointed ambassador, which were verified, preferences for which have long been set by the profiles of Yaroslava Gres (involved in the presidential initiative United24) and Oles Donia (a political scientist currently collaborating with the government), the publication notes.

A superficial search on the Internet can find her video on the Facebook page of the company Estet, which positions itself as an “event-media operator in the professional beauty business, an industry leader,” a leader about whom little is known, a link to the site www.estet.com.ua leads to the page of the Russian site builder Tilda, which states that the subscription to the services has not been paid.

Here she is conducted webinar on the topic: “Being alive. such self-proclaimed “gestalt therapists”. Especially since gestalt is the most vague type of therapy. As a rule, gestalt therapists pay more attention to the client’s experiences and emotions and suggest focusing on them. At the beginning of the webinar, Olesya Ilashchuk notes that she is 45 years old (at the time of publication in April 2020) and that she works with the methods of the gestalt approach, family therapy, provocative therapy, as well as modern hypnosis.

We have already heard about hypnosis during appointments, and immediately recalled the recent scandal with the appointment on November 2 of Yulia Kazhdan as acting head of the Dovzhenko Center, who, as it turned out, has only a syntactic relation to cinema due to her work at the canine center, and she, like the new diplomat, was also involved in hypnosis. Researching the background of the new head of the Dovzhenko Center, journalists found the pages “Kazhan Hypnosis” on social networks, dedicated to hypnotherapy and psychology. It was possible to sign up for hypnosis sessions through instant messengers, which is what they did.

A strange coincidence, which may already be visible to someone as the famous “Ermak’s hand“, because it is known that this “gray cardinal” is quite involved in the international relations of the state of Ukraine, also, by the way, not having any diplomatic experience.

Another amazing experience for the future representative of the Ukrainian state in Bulgaria may be advertising as a future ambassador semi-fraudulent company selling dietary supplements by Ed Burdakov. Positioning itself as the “Diamond Elite” of the pyramid system of pushing dietary supplements RAIN. This is a banal network marketing system, like the well-known scam “Amway”.

These MLM systems offer to make money by selling products to your family, friends and neighbors, and of course, “provide the world’s greatest business opportunity.” These “Edy Burdakovs” tell newcomers (investors) that they can make more money if they sign up more people for the program. Each seller is promised a “bonus” from purchases made by new distributors. In addition, each can earn more “bonuses” if the people they sign up, in turn, sign up more people.

So, even if virtually no one can make money selling products at retail, everyone is obliged to sign up more people for this “business.” Beginners are told that a real business that can make big money is based on signing up other people like themselves. Then their profits are supposedly doubled. If you are not successful, it is your own fault. About 99% of all those who join such a scheme will never make a profit. To attract people to a multi-level marketing company where almost everyone suffers losses, deception is necessary.

Well, there is probably no point in writing separately about dietary supplements, especially when they are distributed due to semi-fraudulent schemes.

Another interesting episode in the biography of the new ambassador may be her involvement in criminal schemes in Bukovina. The publication “Young Bukovynian” notes that According to the website of the analytical system Youcontrol, from 2010 to 2015 she held the position of manager at the jewelry company “GEMMA”. Until October 2021, Olesya Ilashchuk was also a co-founder of the company.

The scandalous firm “Gemma” “lit up” in criminal case against the former director of the Kalinovsky market Ivan Rynzhuk for money laundering. From 2015 to November 2016, Olesya Ilashchuk was the head of DIGITAL-PK LTD, which is engaged in the wholesale trade of computers and software.

So, perhaps, we can expect even more vivid details from the biography of the OP’s creature in the MFA.

It should be noted that political appointments to ambassadorial positions of persons without diplomatic experience are not exceptional; such decisions have been made before, often drawing criticism. However, the appointment of persons without any publicly known experience in the international sphere is a rare occurrence.

The same Volodymyr Zelensky, by decree of November 17, appointed former prosecutor Venediktova (with no diplomatic experience) as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Swiss Confederation.

By the way, the page with her appointment has not been updated on the MFA website yet. The previous head is still listed there.

It is unknown whether we will soon learn the official biography of the new head of the Ukrainian Embassy in Bulgaria.

Bulgarian Media They are already noting with surprise that the “beautiful diplomat” is a rather strange choice, given that she was involved in money laundering.

Either it is the hand of Yermak, or the protectionism of a fool, but such scandalous appointments to such important positions greatly discredit our state, which needs international support more than ever. Perhaps the OP thinks that Bulgarians do not know how to use Google, or do not understand Russian, in which the Gestalt hypnotist Olesya Ilashchuk advertises semi-fraudulent schemes and conducts webinars about the ass as a resource.
