Let us have no illusions about the home-grown “digital cardinal”. He's still a character.
To begin with, about the Fedorov Ministry itself. Once upon a time, the community laughed at funny jokes about the “Ministry of IT”. Most of those jokers are now bowing to ministerial IT officials. I am still convinced that the existence of this ministry is unnatural, but that is not the topic today.
First, N. Fedorov and his personal ministry created the Diya application. It is essentially a means of digital surveillance of the “population” that people voluntarily establish for themselves. Diya is also being considered as an option for holding “online elections” with a predetermined winner. The product was promoted under the slogan “let’s replace corrupt officials with computer programs,” but in fact, over the 5 years of so-called “digitalization,” the level of corruption in the country has only increased.
Also, the organized group “Mincifra” indirectly controls all mobile operators - through various government support programs such as “development of high-speed mobile and fixed Internet networks” or “E-smartphone”.
The group also completely controls the gambling business. Illegal and semi-legal online casinos have long been under Fedorov. But he still has to lead this topic officially and legally (google “bill No. 9256 liquidation of KRAIL Fedorov”). It has already been adopted in the first reading, there is still a little bit left to do.
The cryptocurrency exchange market has also long been controlled by the “digital” group. For this purpose, the law “On Virtual Assets” was passed through the Rada (with the money of the pro-Russian Binance). In September 2021, ICT themselves assessed the cryptocurrency market in Ukraine as “one billion hryvnia per day.” “So count it,” as ensign Zhuiborod said.
Diya-City is generally a separate personal empire of Fedorov within Ukraine. It literally (!) does not obey the laws of Ukraine, lives according to its own “concepts,” and its “residents” are protected from mobilization.
Fedorov is also the official head of the entire sphere of education and science: this is obvious from the title of the position “Vice Prime Minister for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology - Minister of Digital Transformation”
Fedorov has also been trying to take over the construction market for a long time. To do this, he, through the SBU GKIB controlled by himself and its then head Vityuk, squeezed out the register of construction activities of the EDESSB, with arbitrary searches and far-fetched criminal proceedings. Vityuk has now already been removed from office for corruption, although in a different case. Now they are looking for another obedient performer.
Fedorov is also very actively trying to take control of the process of building defensive structures. How does digital transformation contribute to defensive structures, you ask? Shut your mouth, that's why.
Soon Fedorov (through the State Special Communications Service subordinate to him) will control the purchase of ALL drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine - bill 11144 has already been adopted in the first reading. Let me remind you that in 2023, the 40 billion UAH allocated to the State Special Communications Service disappeared somewhere. for UAVs, and this year another 43 billion UAH will disappear there. Squeezed, by the way, from the territorial communities. Because there is no point in buying a lot and on the cheap.
And the above does not take into account the monopoly and completely unchecked power over the multi-billion dollar United24 fund - a fund for which there is no official need to report to anyone
In addition, without Fedorov’s permission, international grants are not allocated to anyone in Ukraine, in particular through USAID, CRDF, EU4Digital and many others.
Heads of the cyber divisions of the SBU and the National Police are not appointed without Fedorov’s approval.
Plus Fedorov controls a whole group of “digital” people’s deputies in the Rada.
And his people are officially placed in all key ministries - these are the so-called “deputy ministers for digital transformation (CDTO).” They are Fedorov's eyes, ears and hands in all these authorities. Through them, he controls all networks, correspondence, documents, and has the ability to install technical means of retrieving information from communication channels. Now there are about 55 such “Fedorov’s commissars”, just for a second.
At the same time, Mr. Mikhail is actively developing the “people’s love” network, and this is mainly 15-20 million Dii users. Fedorov is openly supported by such public opinion leaders as Butusov and Shabunin, as well as a pack of smaller caliber LSD.
Millions are spent both on clearing the information space of negative information (such as young Misha’s participation in a gang of online scammers) and on creating a positive image of a “young progressive politician” in the media space. At the same time, Misha mercilessly deals with everyone who did not kneel before him. And if the “client” does not cave in, then attempts to physically eliminate him are used.
Fedorov’s team even tried to launch an information campaign “Fedorov for President!”, but they were a little blunt. As it turned out, in some kind of your Constitution it is written that the age of the candidate cannot be less than 35 years (Fedorov is now 33).
To summarize.
Fedorov has already created his own extensive organization, millions of tamed Diya-hamsters and a lot of money. He is absolutely immoral and unprincipled, does not tolerate criticism, actively uses the repressive apparatus and sits on fat streams. By the way, NABU has already arrested 4 people from his inner circle (Shchigol, Zhora, Shilo, Vityuk). The tentacles of the octopus are slowly being chopped off.
All the facts presented are in the public domain - Google it, check it, analyze it. Look up.
Why did I tell all this: I really don’t want such characters to lead my country and speak to partners on my behalf. Greedy, aggressive, with a thirst for power and dirty methods of maintaining it. But with the intellectual level of a young director of an SMM studio.
Therefore, I ask you not to create an idol for yourself. Think. That. Analyze. That. Draw conclusions. That. Sorry that I couldn't resist making my own assessments.
