Well, well, well, well, well - the sovok relics keep dreaming up rationalizations to justify their continued corruption.

Friday night's Savik Shuster Show - Khoroshkovsky himself appeared on the show. And, sovok style, every time someone began to make a point - he interrupted.

According to the sovok relics, Ukrainians have teh following choice:

give up your freedoms in order to obtain economic prosperity.

That is the sovok relic "justification" for authoritarianism.

To which several people responded - "gee, I'd like to live in a country that has both freedom and economic prosperity."

The audience applauded.

Ah, but wait - the sovok relics have more rationalizations.

They have dreamed up what they thing is a very clever trick to deal with Khoroshkovsky's horrendous conflicts of interest:

Khoroshkovsky declared on the Savik Shuster Show that he will sell Inter - voila, no conflict of interest!!!!!

And, of course, Khoroshkovksy knows that there are no buyers for Inter.

Typical bass ackwards sovok relic reasoning -

KHOROSHKOVKSY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN APPOINTED TO HIS POSITIONS AS HEAD OF THE SBU AND THE HIGHER COUNCIL OF JUSTICE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!


In other words, in civilized countries, one doesn't simply ignore conflicts of interest with respect to appointment to government posts, and then create illusory "solutions" to deal with what never should have happened in the first place.

These sovok relics are such putzes.

Leave it to goddamn sovok relics to think that people won't see past their severely twisted logic.

Valeriy Portnikov, as usual, had some brilliant things to say about the whole situation.

I can't believe the lunacy and idiocy of sovok relics like Khoroshkovsky and the rest of the sovok relics that infest Ukraine, both in and out of government.

What's worse - there are people in Ukraine who fall for the twisted logic of sovok relics.
