“I know that you should be already in jail. Were they going to put you in jail?” – journalist asked.
“They are going now. They are going to put you in jail, too, by the way,” – Bohdan replied. “There is critical stage of madness out there. They are putting everyone in jail. They already go in packs with this.”
He resented the way authorities react on jokes and satire about them.
“You know what really hurts? During press conference Volodymyr Oleksandrovych, commander-in-chief mister Zelensky, told us that when he was in Kvartal-95 it was satire. Well, after I wrote some satirical post and in a way trolled authorities (have every right for it!) reaction was stormy. Comrade Sukhachov was summoned. [acting director of State Bureau of Investigations]. You know his nickname? Liosha Zilli. He likes [French brand of clothes] Zilli. Wears it all the time. People in law enforcement laugh about it. So, the nickname is Zilli. And, he was tasked with digging up any dirt to put Bohdan in jail,” – remarked ex-Head of the OP.
Bohdan emphasized that he is not alone in the list of people dirt on whom is to be “dug up”.
“The list is long. You are in it, too,” – said former executive.
“Wait. You, I understand. But why me? For what? Are we going to be in the same cell?” – journalist asked.
“I don’t know. There are not enough cells. Because there are all the people on that list: [journalist, editor-in-chief of Censor.NET] Yurii Butusov, [TV host] Savik Shuster, [ex-speaker of Verkhovna Rada] Dmytro Razumkov, and his entire group… And some 100 thousand other people. Well, some bloggers he met somewhere on Facebook. Ivan Ivanovich Asshole, pardon me. Some bots, some incomprehensible persons.” – Bohdan said.
Journalist asked if President personally “orders to put in jail”.
“Yes, personally. Comrade Sukhachov is acting director now. And he is very eager to be assigned permanently, for long period of time. He wants stability. And he takes everything under his control, holds meetings, assigns “secret investigative activities”. We call it “ear, throat, nose,” – Bohdan said.
Gordon clarified if he was a subject of those “secret investigative activities”.
“They have a judge in Poltava. They busted him on a bribe. Standard practice: they busted him and hung him. And now he sign the papers for them without reading. 99% of decisions. Yes, you are a subject, too,” – said Bohdan.
Gordon asked why Zelensky is so intolerable to criticism.
“I don’t know what happened to him during these two years. But it is a catastrophe. You can see that he is not the person we knew then. It is completely different person. Some kind of physical, chemical, psychological changes have occurred. I don’t know what has happened,” – replied Bohdan.
“You said you respected him. I tell you: I loved him. I simply loved him,” – remarked Gordon.
Bohdan said that now the journalist definitely would be imprisoned out of jealousy.
“If anything… I am lawyer. If we are not to framed that we accidentally meet one another on the corridors of Pechersk court,” – said ex-Head of the OP.
In that case who should he hire as a lawyer, Gordon asked.
“They are all going to jail, too. There will be no lawyers,” – joked Bohdan.
