Remember joke about "Buy a meter of the state Border? "?
It will soon become a reality....
The IMF offers Kiev to privatize customs
Ukraine should reconsider its attitude to the list of objects that are allegedly impossible to privatize. This was stated by Deputy Executive Director of the international monetary Fund Vladislav Rashkovan during the Ukrainian Financial Forum 2018, which takes place in Odessa on September 20-21, reports on Friday, September 21, UKRINFORM.
"Who said that the railway cannot be privatized? Who said that customs should be state? Who said that hospitals, kindergartens, schools, universities should be public? Who said that the state should issue certificates?"he asked.
According to Rashkovan, Ukraine in this matter should turn to world practice, which shows that what is prohibited in Ukraine to privatization in the world works perfectly in private ownership.
"There are examples when customs works more effectively in private ownership," the financier stressed.
Rashkovan also expressed the opinion that the list of objects prohibited for privatization should not be at all, because no one can guarantee that this list is permanent, and tomorrow it will not expand even more.
"You can not leave even a small list. Because tomorrow this small list will be bigger, " he said.
Russians, why drag the Ukraine thread up? Still hoping to reverse the separation from Russia? Its over, Putin created a new Ukrainian national identity. I can't even go there anymore because even in south eastern Ukraine everyone (under 40) is speaking Ukrainian and I don't understand more than 2 words of it and I refuse to learn it. So thanks for that, I guess.
You poor thing.
Move further West then - plenty of Russian in Kiev, and it's not all that difficult to understand Ukrainian language.
Or do you want me to translate to you what they are talking about, when asked "Are you planning to leave Ukraine in the nearest future and why?"
There is lot going on there Scrat, from what I hear.
There was an explosion during their Communist Сongress ( or whatever it was - don't remember right now.)
Few people were wounded, no one killed from what I know.
See, Donbass region ( being the blue color region, predominantly,) is a left-leaning overall.
There are all shades of "left" of course - starting from someone like Mozgovoy and Dremin (in LNR,) and someone like Tzarev and Zakharchenko. The letter two are competent and practical people, who know/knew what they were doing, and then there are all kind of "dreamers." ( Gubarev in particular never made a good impression on me.)
Now the way I see it, Putin and Co, being weary of troubles from the "left" in their own domain, want to keep now Donbass under their own control, and the last thing they need there, are Communists in charge.
Zakharchenko was a very convenient man in this respect, because he knew how to balance things - to remain "left," yet to keep peace with Kremlin.
Now with him being gone, things are getting iffy; I assume that Pushilin is Kremlin's preference, but that doesn't mean that his authority is not going to be contested.
(BTW Ukrainian sites circulate the rumors that Alexander Timofeev ( nome de guerre "Tashkent") that survived the blast that killed Zakharchenko is arrested someone in Russia, but that's Ukrainian sites - they can't be trusted, obviously.)
That's him, with N. Poklonskay, during the funerals.

P.S. Sorry - yet another typo of mine: Ukrainians are spreading rumors that Alexander Timofeev ( aka "Tashkent,"( he was Zakharchenko's deputy,)) has been arrested somewhere in Russia.
I need to check on that one through other sources.
Arrested or not, Tashkent not going back to Donetsk. Interesting that challengers to Pushilin are all being sidelined or eliminated. A bona fide criminal has thus taken control of Donetsk.
Meanwhile back in normal Ukraine, for people interested in trains, a new train service from the Baltics from Kyiv started recently. From Riga, Vilnius, Minks then Kyiv. Sounds like a good 4 stop vacation.
Also, a new train line from the Kyiv train station to the airport is under construction, which will make traveling a bit easier.
Finally GE in Pennsylvania is building some locomotives for Ukraine railways and the first ones arrived last week. They used to get them from Luhansk...
Didn't take long for Russians to resurrect this thread to continue posting anti-Ukrainian nonsense. Okay some drunk kids argued this weekend about the USSR even though none of them ever experienced it first hand. Are you satisfied now?

No. They do not argue about the USSR. They create a new Ukraine. And I think they can will win. But I'm afraid that the world will not be happy with what will come of it.
Okay you're right, a drunken late night street argument between a couple young people assigns the entire national mood and outcome. You wouldn't be trying to push something that doesn't really exist now would you? That would be a waste of time to push Putin backed lies on here anymore, nobody will believe them, except your Russian co-conspirators...Pravalivay!
