Privatizations get shady again
The Oct. 27 auction of a major state property, the 35-hectare site near Kyiv’s city center looks to be less than honest, open and competitive as the Kyiv Post reported today. But as Sergii Leshchenko pointed out in a companion column, shady and rigged privatizations have characterized Ukraine’s transfer of state assets to private control — generating the oligarchs and other moguls who created nothing. Other examples can be found in this 14-year-old edition of the Kyiv Post.
