I read about who was appointed as ministers in the new government, and it makes you want to grab a megaphone and go out into the street to enlighten people. ⠀ This is some next-level brazenness. ⠀ For example, our new sports minister is a man named Matytsin. ⠀ Thanks to him, the phrase "there are thieves sitting in the Russian government" is 100% legally accurate. ⠀ Remember the Cherkizon market in Moscow? The biggest in Europe and the most criminal. Well, the land under Cherkizon belonged to the University of Physical Education. Its rector was none other than the current sports minister, who at the time simply handed the land over to oligarch Telman Ismailov so the market could be set up there. ⠀ Matytsin was tried over this in 2012 and found guilty. He was let off punishment, though. Supposedly, the statute of limitations had expired. Of course—he only stole several hectares of land in Moscow, he wasn’t out attending protests. Why punish him for that? ⠀ In any case, the new prime minister Mishustin and President Putin went ahead and appointed a thief as our minister. He stole state property, and even Putin’s corrupt court acknowledged that. ⠀ Can you imagine? They’ve completely stopped being embarrassed. - How about we appoint Matytsin as minister? - Seems awkward—he’s literally a thief by court ruling. - Whatever, everyone in our government is a thief. Appoint him. ⠀ And then these people will sit in government meetings and adopt anti-corruption programs.
