Now everyone knows his face for sure. The scandal at the checkpoint, arranged by the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, indignant that they dared to stop him and not recognize, became not just a popular meme. The symbol of bureaucratic rudeness.
“Now you know, but now I know you too, friend, and it won't make you feel good.
Boorish hitting on subordinates had a butterfly effect. The country became interested in the little recognizable face of Alexander Gogilashvili. And such details got in that Mom don't cry.
Another video. Official Gogilashvili, who drove a car with flashing beacons, often lacked publicity.
& # 8212; Very shit that you don't recognize the bosses! Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs! So you understand?
Then the real information tsunami began. On December 16, two teams of journalists – Investigation.Info and Bihus.Info – published similar investigations into Gogilashvili. They dug up his Russian passport and tax number.
It turned out that Gogilashvili's wife, Maria Levchenko, works as a personal assistant to President Vladimir Zelensky.
And now the family lives on the same estate with the head of the main intelligence directorate of the Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov and seems to be driving departmental GUR vehicles with cover numbers. Moreover, both transport and bodyguards are provided to him at once by two state special services & # 8212; SBU Alpha and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
& # 8212; Answer the question: did you and Budanov discuss any things related to national security? Possible invasion of Russia, classified information?
– God forbid, never in my life. I don't live with Kirill Budanov. Yes, we are going to Europe, but not everything is so sad. Kirill's apartment is being renovated. I invited him and his wife during the renovation to my house, which I rent.
The 48-year-old Gogilashvili received his post, Ukrainian citizenship and higher education almost simultaneously. In 2019. Perhaps such a stunning career led to a rapid dizziness.
It is generally unknown what the future deputy minister did until the age of 45. On the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, his avaricious biography takes literally 5 lines.
It follows from it that before the ministerial position he worked in only one place. At the & # 8220; Center for Healthy Youth & # 8221 ;. An organization that is a member of the International Anti-Drug Association.
It was that a scandal erupted around it in September. After the publication of the film – an investigation by the journalists of Suspilny. They described how drug addicts were forcibly held in the center, beaten and mocked.
Until 2014, Gogilashvili collaborated with the scandalous Kharkov sports club Oplot, which became the nucleus of separatism there, and then a military unit of militants in general.
Investigators dug up a criminal record in the Russian Federation
For forgery and large-scale fraud. How, with such a track record, Gogilashvili was admitted to the position is unknown.
However, what is wrong, why the president demanded his resignation, Gogilashvili, it seems, still does not understand. He attributes his behavior to an emotional state.
He is not the only top official who has been thrown out of his chair over the past year because of rudeness. At the beginning of 2021, Vitaly Nemilostivy, Deputy Minister for Strategic Industries, was fired. When the cops caught him drunk at the wheel.
The Deputy Minister was barely standing at the time. But it didn't stop the police from being rude.
– The key reason that those who are appointed to command us, or to command them, behave like pigs, is a lack of understanding of the very essence of corporate culture. These people happened to be on these chairs, in these Mercedes, in suits. They are not right there, – a psychologist.
New faces do not solve a global problem. And they only provoke new scandals. Almost every ministry, court, local executive committee or housing office has its own Gogilashvili. Obviously, it's not just a matter of novelty.
To get rid of the boorish traditions carried over from the Soviet past, it is necessary to educate at least several generations of new managers, change the system of state management and build a public control over officials. Ukraine is just beginning this path towards these changes.
