Throughout the presidential term, Petro Poroshenko, journalist at Schem, monitors visitors to his administration and speaks to them. All the while, access to the official journal of visitors is denied. Information about who and why comes to a meeting with the president. Among them are deputies, ambassadors, ministers; they all come to Bankova openly, mainly during working hours and pass through the central passage. But businessmen and oligarchs, who are also frequent guests of Bankova, go to secret police stations and often at night.
For the fifth year, Petro Poroshenko organizes official receptions, strategic meetings and working meetings within the presidential administration. Ukrainians can find out more about their agenda. But there is no information about meetings with oligarchs and businessmen filming . Schemes .
It is impossible to obtain an application or find it on the official website, although citizens have the right to know who has access to the head of state. and, as a result, can influence his decision.
All entries concerning the visitor's administrator must be kept in a special journal.
Since the President's office in Bankova hired Petro Poroshenko, journalist of the Scheme program Sergei Andrushko systematically sends a request for information to the presidential administration – asking him to provide a list of people. who visited the AP and met with Poroshenko.
In 2015, he replied: "The calculation of these data by the presidential administration is not done" and "the maintenance of working papers is not planned" – and has also referred to the internal instruction, approved by Victor Baloha at the time of Viktor Yushchenko on the confidentiality of information on visitors to the PA
The AP responded that the maintenance of work logs was not expected
in 2016. This request was also rejected and has added another reason: information about people who came to Poroshenko is protected by the law on personal data.
Yuri Stets, Minister of Information Policy
And even at this regular request of the Journal of Visitors
The reason is the Internal instruction to the old rules: "Information on visitors to the Ukrainian Presidential Administration contains personal data classified as confidential information."
A new database appeared later: AP visitor information includes personal data classified as restricted information
Such refusal is illegal, according to Oksana Nesterenko lawyer, co-author of the law "On access to public information": "The refusal is illegal because, in accordance with international standards and Ukrainian legislation , surname, first name and surname are personal data of a general nature and e is confidential information with limited access, although it is personal information. "
Oksana Nesterenko, lawyer and co-author of the law "On Access to Public Information" [19659009] "If the document cont Information with restricted access, information to which access is not restricted are provided for information purposes, "Nesterenko explains.
Who hides a "secret book?"
The president may not want to post meetings with a certain circle people because they contradict and On the political slogans and declared intentions, as deoliharhizatsiyu
"key position, that I will go – this country deoliharhizatsiya . If we try to build order in the state, they are trying to create chaos in the state, "said the president in 2015.
In February 2016, the" regimes "have was suppressed at the time the administration visited the oligarch Igor Kolomoisky.Then, to bring it quietly into the territory of the PA, they resort to additional measures of conspiracy: their own tuple, the oligarch was transplanted into an official vehicle.
In the spring of 2016, the Regime reported that the rig of the oligarch Rinat Akhmetov had passed through the side door December 2017 "Schemes "witnessed the visit of the presidential administration to the new Ukrainian oligarch Paul Fuks.And in May 2018, it was possible to record secret visits of businessmen Surkis brothers in AP
Secret visits of the Surkis brothers to the PA
What do the oligarchs need from the president? And the president of the oligarchs? Why did they see you? What decision was made? Is this precisely what was beneficial for a wide range of citizens, and not for the sake of a single entrepreneur?
To avoid such suspicions, it is necessary that the work of the presidential administration and all other authorities be transparent, explained the chairman of the board of Transparency International Ukraine Yaroslav Yurchyshyn [en anglais].

"The essential function of a democratic government is to demonstrate that the only argument for allowing it to make decisions is a public demand, so then identify the problem and If the personalities are trying to hide certain contacts, the logical assumption that someone is influencing them ", – considers the expert.
The practice of concealment continued during the past year – as well as Poroshenko's face-to-face meetings with businessmen at the workplace
For example On November 12, 2018, a tuple of two cars arrives in an archway leading to the AP's side doors.
Pinchuk's car disappears behind the doors of the AP
This car is used by Victor Pinchuk's oligarch .
Pinchuk Tuple Automatic Protection
A few minutes later, on the other side of the AP, another door is opened – she also runs the presidential administration.
More 5 minutes on the territory arrives a motorcade, used by the former head of the administration of Poroshenko, a businessman Boris Lozhkin .
Kortezh Lozhkina arrives at the tent [1965]. the tuple of the oligarch Victor Pinchuk. And 15 minutes after the departure of Pinchuk, Boris Lozhkin left the president's administration.

Thus, the oligarch Victor Pinchuk and the businessman Boris Lozhkin arrived almost at the same time and left the administration presidential.
Victor Pinchuk owns several TV channels, including STB and ICTV.
On the ICTV channel, a talk show "Freedom of speech" – it's there that President Pouroshe has come directly three times over the past NCO year.
The three parts of Poroshenko on ICTV
All these essays dealt with the achievements of the president and his positive subjects. It is the only live talk show in the country where Poroshenko started going for a year before the presidential election.
The attention of the president on the presidential administration, also at the same time as Pinchuk, Boris Lozhkin, was called the main responsible for the president's communication with the oligarchs. when he was in charge of the administration of Poroshenko
Petro Poroshenko and Boris Lozhkin
Boris Lozhkin resigned from the presidential administration in 2016, while still contacting the oligarchs
. For example, for example everything is fine and this year the "system" crew was seen that the five-star hotel parking in the center of Kiev at the same time Boris came by the car businessmen Lozhkina and Surkis brothers. After a brief emotional conversation, their tuples left the parking lot of the hotel synchronously.

Then, in the service of Lozhkin's press, reporters are confident that after his dismissal from the post of chief of the AP, he returned to work and that he did not intend to pursue politics.
If maintaining the contacts of the former PA chief with the oligarchs can still be explained. objectives, how to explain that, even if he continues to regularly visit his former workplace?
Only in the last three months of 2018, "Regime" systematically recorded the arrival of Lozhkin's tuple to the presidential administration – and this happened every time. In the evening
In anticipation of Lozhkina, the state guards open the doors of the administration in advance.
"Schemes" sent a new request to Boris Lozhkin, asking him to explain: for what purpose a businessman who, according to his press service, would no longer be engaged in politics, attends regularly to the presidential administration? Was Lozhkin present at the meeting between oligarch Pinchuk and President Poroshenko? And if all its meetings are private, can private meetings be held in a state body of this level?
The request for meeting with the president and former president of his administration was sent to Victor Pinchuk. However, they received no response.
Poroshenko's press service informed of these visits by post and only because they had been fixed and interrogated by the Regime. "The President of Ukraine met with Victor Pinchuk and Boris Lozhkin for the annual visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos," explained AP
. New faces of visitors
Visitors to the Presidential Administration also present new faces
Here, for example, on November 14, 2018, in the vault leading to the side entrance of the. presidential administration, the Mercedes returns – a man with papers in his hands, followed by a guard, gets out
A man with papers in his hands turns from a Mercedes into an all-terrain car

Leaving the AP yard, the crew sees that the SUV is waiting for Mercedes. at the intersection A digital guard is in service at both departures from the presidential administration.
Subsequently, the two cars of an unknown secret visitor of the administration disappear from the field of vision. Tuple vehicles were found in neighborhoods close to the PA – guards alternated next to them.
An SUV, which took the host to the presidential administration, leaves the PA territory two and a half hours later – through the side door – and heads for the Mercedes. From an SUV, a man with papers in his hands turns into a Mercedes.

A man who was secretly brought in and taken away from the presidential administration is a businessman Vadim Stolar [19459005
What do you know about him? Vadim Stolar was a member of the Verkhovna Rada of the Party of Regions during the Yanukovych era, and has interests in the capital, particularly in the construction sector. and real estate.
He is among others co-founder of Elita-Budinvest, whose activities, according to media, are related to one of the biggest scams of the construction sector in Kiev.
Stolar is a co-founder of Elita-Budinvest.
Schemes also explored the affairs of his family and the wealth of Stolar himself and the relationship with the questionable legitimacy of the buildings of the time of Vitaliy Klychko.
I. Although Vadim Stolar no longer holds any office in the mayor's office and is a businessman, he is nicknamed the "gray cardinal" and the "curator" of Kiev, who seems to be responsible for some of the appointments you have staff.
"Conservative of Kiev, so I would say, so it turned out that the most scandalous activities of the KSCA, the most corrupt, are led by people who are not formally associated with Vadim Stolar, who does not But, according to the developers, these people are curious for Vadim Stolar, "says the editor of the publication Tsensor.Net Yuri Butusov .
Businessmen Vagif Aliyev and Vadim Stolar
An expert on urban planning Victor Gleb recalls the following: "I was invited to the office of Vadim Stolar, when the question of the appointment to one of the KSCA departments was raised, then I was MP for Ryabikin in Klitschko, I had a "ticket" for a trip to Stolar, and I was there to tell the whole story The vision Officially, he was in the role of no one, he is now in the role of person, and then he was in the role of person.The country is not ruled by those whom we see on television, but by those who make the decisions. "
Victor Gleb: "The country is not ruled by those we see on television"
This comment from Gleb was recorded in the summer of 2017 – at the time, "Scheme" had opened an investigation into a joint flight of the Italian city of Naples, the mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, the famous builder of the capital, the People's Deputy Maxim Mykytas and the same Vadim Stol
One year previously, in July 2016, "Schemes" had managed to explain how Vadim Stolar had arrived with a charter with another well-known capital builder Igor Kushnir .
Stolar and Kushnir stole together
Igor Kushnir – Chairman of the Board and President of Kyivmiskbud. This is the biggest metropolitan developer. "Kyivmiskbud" is 80% owned by the communal property of the city of Kiev and, therefore, by the community of the city.
Yuri Butusov explains: "The management system, for example, architecture, construction and land allocation in Kiev is built so as not to pay attention to Vadim Stolar. is taken. "
However, this is far from the only visit of Vadim Stolar, a businessman in the presidential administration, whom we have managed to repair – such visits have also took place in October.
For example, on October 9, the Merceress Stolar left the AP almost hours
Mercedes Stolar left the AP about an hour after his arrival.
This looks like a businessman who has the reputation of being an informal conservator of the Ukrainian capital and who is questionable from the point of view зору законності забудов Києва, літає приватними літаками з найбільшими забудовниками таз самим мером Києва – навідується пізно ввечері в офіс президента країни щонайменше раз на місяць. У прес-службі АП нам повідомили, що він їздить не до Порошенка. Але до кого саме і навіщо – не уточнили. При цьому ці візити намагаються приховати.
5 грудня мерседес, яким користується бізнесмен, знову чекає біля бічних воріт адміністрації. [19659086] Мерседес Вадима Столара біля бічних воріт АП [19659118] Мерседес Вадима Столара біля бічних воріт АП [19659119] За півгодини кортеж виїжджає з арки – знімальна група "Схем" рушає слідом, але її одразу блокує мікроавтобус. Згодом він ще намагатиметься завадити журналістам і підрізатиме на дорозі.
Мікроавтобус, який намагався завадити журналістам і підрізав на дорозі
У цей же час Адміністрацію президента залишає і Петро Порошенко
у заторі оператор "Схем" виходить із авто перевірити, чи сидить Столар у автівці -. або, можливо, його вивезуть з АП в інший спосіб
Штори на вікнах відкриті -. Вадима Столара в автівці немає. . А отже, його могли вивезти з Адміністрації президента в інший спосіб
Штори на вікнах відкриті – Вадима Столара в автівці немає
Виходить, що за чотири місяці до виборів до президента, який збирається переобратися на другий термін, заїжджають бізнесмени, які, з одного боку, мають комерційні інтереси та фінансові ресурси, а з іншого -. політичний вплив та власні рейтингові телеканали
Але предмет переговорів і результати домовленостей тримаються в секреті , як і сам . Факт цих зустрічей
Наскільки таку політику роботи Адміністрації Порошенка можна вважати прозорою
Одна з найбільших всесвітніх організацій, яка послідовно та системно займається питаннями прозорості влади та боротьби з корупцією і оперує в 114 країнах світу, – Transparency International. Її очільник в Україні Ярослав Юрчишин пояснює, чому інформація про зустрічі найвищих посадовців має бути публічно доступною.
"Бажання приховати свої контакти одразу фактично будує недовіру. Відповідно, одразу будується відчуття: ага, за закритими дверима говорили з такими-то людьми, а потім ці люди – опа! – знову у списку "Форбс". Звісно, будуються зв'язки, руйнується довіра до влади, – зазначає Юрчишин. – Фактично влада своїм бажання закриватися демонструє, що так, у нас рішення приймаються не в суспільних інтересах, а в інтересах фінансово-промислових груп. І так, незважаючи на так, незважаючи незважаючи незважаючи незважаючи незважаючи незважаючи незважаючи незважаючи незважаючи незважаючи на податків – так, ми діємо не в ваших інтересах. Іншого пояснення закриттю цієї інформації в принципі немає ".
Стандарти відкритості давно впроваджуються на Заході, у демократичних країнах. Наприклад, у Європі закони, які це регулюють, існують як на рівні окремих держав, так і на рівні керівних органів всього Європейського союзу, до якого Україна прагне долучитись.
Рафаель Керґено з європейського офісу Transparency International розповідає , креєструються зустрічі та обліковуються контакти президента Єврокомісії – найвищого колегіального органу виконавчої влади ЄС. А разом із ним і всіх єврокомісарів.
Рафаель Керґено, європейський офіс Transparency International
"Існує законний обов'язок публікувати дані про зустрічі. Кожна людина, яка хоче вплинути на рішення і прагне зустрітись з президентом, якщо така зустріч погоджена, має зареєструватись. Це так званий Реєстр прозорості – де вони вказують, хто вони, ким працевлаштовані та чиї інтереси представляють, – пояснює Рафаель Керґено. – Дані про ці зустрічі публічно доступні. Президент також повинен публікувати ці дані – і може зустрічатись тільки з тими, хто є в цьому реєстрі. Звісно, завжди є змога приховати ці контакти, але на такому рівні – це незаконно. Спроба приховати ці дані по суті означає бажання приховати, хто саме впливає на процес ухвалення рішень. "
В Україні ж неоднозначні з точки зору репутації візитери потрапляють у найвищі владні кабінети таємно, через чорний вхід. Не афішується не лише мета цих візитів – від суспільства приховується сам факт того, що вони відбуваються
У той же час журналістам із року в рік відмовляють у наданні вичерпної інформації про те, з ким і навіщо проводить зустрічі президент України Петро Порошенко..
