Kolomoisky disowns Korban

On Saturday, former deputy governor, notorious raider and oligarch Hennadiy Korban, who is part of Igor Kolomoisky's team, was detained in Dnipro. Many expected a stormy reaction from Kolomoisky and some countermeasures. Imagine the surprise when yesterday the billionaire unexpectedly stated that he personally has no problems with the presidential administration, thereby effectively disowning Korban. According to journalist and People's Deputy from the European Solidarity party, Mustafa Nayem, "such a Korban is not needed by Kolomoisky" ("такой Корбан не нужен Коломойскому").

"Humanly speaking

Do you remember the words of Gennady Korban "about form and substance"? He loved to shout these slogans together with Borys Filatov when Igor Kolomoisky was removed from the post of governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Mr. Korban was genuinely outraged by the arrogance of the authorities, tore his shirt, called a veche in Dnipro, declaring total war against the authorities and Petro Poroshenko personally.

It was a banal resignation, not an arrest.

When Korban was put in jail, Benya - the oligarch! the terror of separatists! and the president's scariest nightmare! - said that he is fine with the authorities, no one is pressuring him, and Korban (poor him, of course!), but he lost because of politics.

That's it. Full stop. No veche, no blockades, no protests, no outrage, etc. Well, as if the man got into a car accident, not into pre-trial detention...

I don't care who is whose rabbi, but I keep repeating that the real governor of Dnipro during all the difficult times was Korban, not Igor Kolomoisky. That very Hennadiy Korban, the lawless one, the racketeer, who doesn't care about the law, and who barely cares about people...

Such a Korban was needed by Benya yesterday, but he doesn't need him today. Purely humanly speaking, today Igor Kolomoisky is dumping Hennadiy Korban. Because if all the oligarch is capable of is a comment in the media, a few commissioned stories, and empty news, - that is either weakness, or fear for PrivatBank, or meanness.

I have known Igor Kolomoisky for many years, and I do not consider him weak", - Nayem wrote on his internet page.
