Customs takes good. or Hello to samostiynoy URKAiny

- What is it in your pocket? - Ukrainian customs official held out his hand to his waistcoat. There were four hundred-dollar bills, forgetfulness is not made in the declaration. The verdict was brief: "We remove the family from the train - legalize it." However, in a minute "offense" was settled for 50% of "contraband." And as we said then, we still got off easy fright ...

Fear - an essential companion Russians, not only decided to relax on the territory of Ukraine, but even in transit through its territory. For example, as we, in Yeysk. Russian citizens forbidden to leave the car, and even the presence of young children in the stuffy train does not entitle the open window. And our history - not a special case. In the nearby train customs officers who found her grandmother pills calmed down only when he received a thousand rubles bribes. Two more women with children were planted because of the lack of proxies from their husbands. Did not save even the fact that one of the mothers for several years in a divorce. They had to get to the Yeisk already on the private car for 5,000 rubles. These stories can be told by hundreds.
Here are excerpts from a letter in the "MK" Stolnikova Muscovite, who had the imprudence to go to Sochi after the territory, as he writes, "a hostile state." "A woman who was traveling with three children from Ulan-Ude, the guards kicked out of the car ... To find fault with a woman from the North Caucasus for having two passports: the Russian domestic and foreign. A lady, who had no money to pay the extortioners (fee - 500 rubles.), Just off the train ... According to Russian conductors, is open robbery, both during the Civil War, when Makhno attacked the train. " His letter concluded equerries citizen wishes "holiday-makers do not cross the territory of Ukraine "...
... On the way back to our family is going the same outrage. Since the train only one crossing point shot 11 people, including a family with an infant (when you consider that people were returning from a holiday with little or no money, their fate is unenviable). And do not think that if you have everything in order with the documents, the troubles you do not shine - and you can dig down to the post. For example, the wife of Stolnikova was told that her passport was forged: Ukrainian doubted the stamp of registration, which is in Moscow, no one is beyond doubt.
every day with the Kursk railway station and sent back for at least two trains are in transit through Ukraine. Total - four. In each - about 800 passengers - a total of 3200 people. Multiply by 90 "spa" days - we get 288,000 Russians who have become cash cows. And it is only through passengers from Moscow. And from other cities? And those who go to the Crimea and the Ukrainian coast of the Azov? Then we must assume is already on millions of the humiliated and insulted the Russians, to whom our authorities do not care.
State can not understand that the people of his consistency is not determined by the size of the Stabilization Fund, and the ability to protect its citizens. Including the arbitrariness of foreign racketeers in uniform.
There's another question: what was the direct transit train through Ukraine, if there is a bypass route, along which the majority of trains - through Voronezh. The more so then these paths will still converge ...
And while your peace of mind - only your concern, choose a circuitous route. Corruption and racketeering Ukrainian gosluzhaschih personal power of the Yushchenko-Tymoshenko, despite loud claims, while not handle.
