The true story of Yanukovych's black ledger

The true story of Yanukovych’s black ledger
By Sergii Leshchenko.


.............

The black ledger is a handwritten manuscript that was securely guarded – it was stored in a specially equipped room behind an armored door on the second floor of the office of the Yanukovych’s party headquarters that was only a five-minute walk from parliament. This was established by Ukrainian law enforcement officers during interrogations of mid-level employees of the party’s office.

The investigation in Ukraine found that there were several people making most of the records in the book, including the payments to Manafort. One of them was Vitaly Kalyuzhny, who before coming to politics worked as an informational technology engineer for one of the stakeholders of the Yanukovych clan. Kalyuzhny fled from Ukraine after the regime of Yanukovych fell.

The second main author of the black ledger is Yevhen Geller, a former member of parliament close to Yanukovych. After Yanukovych fled Ukraine, Geller joined the team of another oligarch, billionaire Ihor Kolomoisky.

In the last days of Yanukovych’s reign in February 2014, a fire occurred in the office of the Party of Regions in Kyiv. There is every reason to believe that the black ledger was taken out of there during that fire. We don’t know where the book was kept for the next several years.

Wow, maybe there is still hope-Washington Examiner columnist: "I am sickened to be a Republican"

Not a single person my age has a longer record of being affiliated with the Republican Party. Since birth. My dad was on the RNC. I was YR state chair. I worked for a GOP Approps Chair. Today, tho, I am sickened to be a Republican. DC GOP=rank dishonesty, hypocrisy.
