As if the head of the State Enterprise “Rear Front Operator” Arsen Zhumadilov with a Russian passport and business etc. was not enough. Crimea, and now this son of a SBU general, who sported the NKVD uniform and supported anti-Maidan in Odessa.
How they are checked before appointment to high government positions and whether they are checked at all in the third year of a full-scale war with Russia still remains a mystery.
Former SBU general and recently fired first deputy of the Odessa regional administration Boris Voloshenkov is lobbying for positions for his son.
In 2021, dad, while in the position of deputy of the Odessa regional administration, hired his son to the position of director of the department of European and Euro-Atlantic integration, issues of multilateral cooperation and protocol of the Odessa Regional State Administration. From which he was fired 2 days later under the law “On the Cleansing of Power.”
Why was Dmitry Voloshenkov lustrated so quickly?
- Chairman of the Odessa city organization of the Party of Regions - since December 2006.
- People's Deputy of Ukraine of the 5th convocation from March to November 2007, from the Party of Regions.
- In April 2010 – March 2014 – Deputy Chairman of the Odessa Regional State Administration.
- A defendant in a criminal case about an attack on journalists under the building of the Odessa Regional State Administration.
That is, he should not even have been considered for any government positions. But if it’s dad who hires you, then that’s something else. For some reason, Zelensky’s “5-6 effective managers” had no questions for Boris Voloshenkov upon his appointment, and Boris had no questions for his son. But they could and would arise among the public.
A Ukrainian statesman who spoke with calls “Russia come” and “Putin help.” That's quite a reputation, isn't it? But lustration did not end his public career. After some time, he was reinstated in his position through the court, after which he was hired (or hidden) in the Ministry of Strategic Industry. This is where he received the position of the Defense Procurement Agency under the Ministry of Defense.
By the way, Dmitry Voloshenkov still runs a number of interesting NGOs
In addition to the NGO “Civil Initiative “For Odessa!” For Yanukovych” the “Ivan Kuris Foundation” is no less interesting, since Ivan Kuris was a Russian military leader.
And now Dmitry Voloshenkov, this ideologist of the “Russian spring” in Odessa, is now responsible for procurement at the Ministry of Defense.
