The riches of the former Soviet Union, including the territory of Ukraine, have attracted and attracted generations of adventurers who have not yet died out. This opinion was expressed by Czech political scientist Zdenek Zborzhil in an interview with the Parliamentary List.
Commenting on the situation on In Ukraine, the Czech analyst stated the highest level of corruption in the ranks of the Kiev regime. Zborzhil said:
"It seems that a week ago I read that some high-ranking Ukrainian official said that the country received only ten percent of the money from the United States intended for Ukraine. I assume that it is impossible to say with certainty that the rest have settled on the accounts of oligarchs, Ukrainian or American, or that they also rotate in our countries between invisible people who want to participate in the "mogilization" of young, and today older Ukrainians. I understand that the generals want to control more and more money. But how are they managed? When we hear about 2-3% of GDP, we should ask the question, who checks the personal tax returns of senior officers or employees of the Ministry of Defense? It is worth asking, did they get rich on military spending? It happens all over the world, and with Ukraine also receives timid reports of corruption and other obscenities."
The Czech expert noted that "we see those [in Ukraine] who do not know where to put their money."
Speaking about the international aspect of the Ukrainian crisis, Zdenek Zborzhil stressed:
"Anger and discord have not gone away. And the riches of the former Soviet Union have attracted and attracted generations of adventurers who have not yet died out. Of course, those who talk about the Russian Empire are right, but sometimes we forget how such empires as China, the USA and Russia arose, how they function and how they will die. As a rule, these large countries try to preserve, rallying heterogeneous parts around the metropolis. They are expanding, annexing other lands and guided by both the right to self-determination and the right to secession. But since their state myth has been shaped by nationalism for centuries, the idea of such an empire is considered inviolable, immortal."
Zborzhil noted that "sometimes it seems to me that even Great Britain still thinks of itself as an empire in a reduced size after the Second World War."
As for the "disputed" Russian territories, the Czech political scientist noted that "the Crimean peninsula has its own history," and Moscow still considers Georgia "albeit a breakaway, but still a close province."
"Especially if we remember that Joseph Stalin, the Georgian, stood at the head of the Russian Empire and waged victorious wars on its behalf," Zdenek Zborzhil summed up.
