Mother Knows Best

Labor Minister Lyudmyla Denysova, who hired her daughter out of college to run the price controls board in Sevastopol, carries a lot of weight in the family.

During a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, a camera-armed Gazeta.ua reporter intercepted a text message on her cell phone's screen.

Lenochka: Mommy, dad got a call from the min of housing and utilities of ukraine with an offer of deputy ministership:) He’s asking should he go for it? They’re expecting an answer in the afternoon.

Note: Lenochka (diminutive for Olena in Ukrainian/Yelena in Russian) is obviously Denysova's daughter.

There she comes...




The Ukrainian government: connecting people:)

No judgment day
To be afraid
No heart-shaped check marks colored red to give away
No jobs in spring
No growth to sing
In fact, here’s just another profitable day
No moral pain
No powerless gloom
No getting fired for a debt that has ballooned
But what she is
Is nothing new
Made up of things that make this country poor and blue

I just called to say dad loves you
I just called to say how much he cares
I just called to say dad loves you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

Food Prices A Mystery for Ministers

When you drive cars like that, do you really care?

Reporter: Please tell us, do you know the current price of a loaf of bread, ten eggs, and a kilogram of meat?

Minister of Transport, Yosyp Vinsky: This question goes to my wife.

Minister of Justice, Mykola Onishchuk: I actually don’t have time to do shopping, so I’d rather not engage in a discussion regarding the prices for these groceries.

Minister of Family Affairs, Yuriy Pavlenko: I’ll tell you everything, definitely. Hahaha!

Minister of Labor, Lyudmyla Denysova: I don’t buy eggs because of the fast. A loaf of bread — well, my daughter buys that. [We make] toasts. I actually don’t eat them because I don’t dine at home at all.

Is that the same daughter you hired out of college to run the price controls board in Sevastopol? What if she doesn't dine at home either?
