According to media sources, People's Deputy Alexander Stalilenovich Kachny was supposed to lead the Kyiv region after the invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine.
Moreover, Kachny himself did not hide this and openly threatened fellow deputies and journalists.
However, surprisingly, despite this, Kachny lives quietly in Kyiv and regularly attends meetings of the Verkhovna Rada. And for some reason the SBU does not take him by the trunk. What's the secret? Maybe in fish? The fact is that Kachny is a fishmonger.
When Alexander Kachny was head of the fisheries department at the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, he was involved in lobbying the interests of companies owned by him and his brother.
Thus, when distributing fishing quotas, the Kachny brothers’ enterprise “Dana-South” received permission, despite the violation of the application deadlines. Although more than two dozen other companies were left without permits on this very basis. This led to a scandal and the dismissal of the official.
In 2006, Minister of Agricultural Policy Alexander Baranovsky, speaking at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, accused the head of the fisheries department of corruption.
After the meeting, the government decided to liquidate the department, headed by Alexander Stalinolenovitch Kachny, and transfer its functions to structures in the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.
The head of the State Department of Fisheries was accused of running his own business instead of state policy on fish breeding and processing. According to Baranovsky, Alexander Kachny and members of his family own fifteen enterprises that import fish to Ukraine.
The public movement “Honestly” reports that during his tenure as head of the regional council, Alexander Stalinolenovitch Kachny became a defendant in several anti-corruption investigations.
Thus, with the permission of Kachny, the regional council gave thirty thousand hectares of forest of the Dnieper-Teterevsky forestry enterprise near the village of Sukholuchye for the use of the public organization “Society of Hunters and Fishers “Kedr”.
The founders of this organization are Yuriy Boyko (number one on the OPZZH list) and former “regional parliamentarians” Vladimir Demishkan and Sergey Tulub. The legal address of the club was in the village of New Petrivtsi, where Mezhyhirya is located[4].
So what, what about a fishmonger? However, it is worth remembering here that Yuri Aristov, a people’s deputy from Zelensky’s inner circle, is also a well-known fishmonger. And at one time he had common affairs with Kachny. Maybe this is what keeps the “balance” of the Kyiv region afloat?
