MP Struk wrote up a cavil about me to Speaker Rybak, about his beating me up = the final end to common sense.

Courageous in fighting a woman, “comrade” Struk continued his unbelievable adventures.

Some journalists I know sent me a photocopy of a unique document (even for modern Ukraine) where deputy Struk explains to Speaker Rybak that he did not beat me up, (that everything was not as captured in the photo) (see previous post), and asked the Speaker to “give a legal assessment” of my immeasurable crimes against him. Is he aware of what the Urainian Parliament is for, and what the functions of its Speaker are? (I understand, this is a rhetorical question). This is a fantastic piece of paper, on which I will not comment, so as not to offend the emotionally vulnerable, while physically aggressive, “comrade” Struk; and so as not to give a reason for another letter of complaint to the Speaker. And I feel responsible for the fate of those innocent trees, which will go to paper for these opuses.

In this regard, I would like to remind Deputy Struk, as a police school graduate, of two things :

1) I am not detained in a police precinct. I am perfectly aware that in the police precincts people fall off their benches in their sleep, crack their heads open and die (as in the Indylo case); beat their own selves against a wall; “voluntarily!” confess to 20 simultaneous crimes, etc. And there are always 20 witnesses in the police precinct who saw Drizhak of Vradiyivsky [Evgeny Drizhak, militia lieutenant in Vraidyivsky] at work all the time! In short, “unfortunately,” the Rada (Parliament) is not a police precinct, yet. There are photographers in the Parliament, and there are many people who do not approve of cops’ dirty tricks, even if they fear defending women.

2) I tried very hard to stop “comrade” Struk from committing a crime, (of fraudulent voting using the voting card of a missing deputy).

The Constitution of Ukraine (Art. 5, usurpation of State power, p. 8, provisions of the Constitution are the law of direct application. Art. 84 – Senators exercise their vote PERSONALLY (well, one can laugh). Art. 79, Oath of a Deputy of Ukraine – very clearly answers the question: is it legal to use somebody else’s voting card and press your finger on the “For” button.

The usurpation of the State power (using the authority of another Deputy to pass the Law of Ukraine) is equal to a grave crime against the State – no kidding (see Section 1 of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – crimes against the national security of Ukraine). If no one has been persecuted by that law yet, it does not mean that no one will be persecuted in the future, and I hope, in the near future. The people of Ukraine got sick and tired of the tricks used by deputies of Yanukovich’s party faction, to say the least. Some of the deputies of the Party of Regionals faction have already noticed. 

This is a note for the rest of you button pushers, as well as the instigators and organizers of these crimes: “comrade” Rybak and “comrade” Kaletnyk.

In preventing “comrade” Struk from committing a crime against the State, I acted in accordance with Art. 38 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – “The detention of a person who committed a crime.” The Code is very clear on this issue, and there was no physical damage to deputy Struk. Comrade Struk’s hooligan actions towards me did not allow me to keep him from committing a serious crime against the State. Too bad, I tried my best.

PS: Friends who can translate English at night. If “comrade” Struk has not yet found the courage to apologize, if not even insincerely (Yanukovich/Party of Regionals-style), but instead chooses worldly fame for himself and the methods of his organized gang – we don’t have the right to betray his hopes!
