Keep Maiden Name or Switch to 'Yanukovych'? (Tihipko Unsure)

Here's a no-joke question to ask on April Fools' Day.

Reporter: Considering the merger between Strong Ukraine and the Party of Regions, are you going to switch your name to Yanukovych or keep your maiden name?
Vice PM Tihipko [caught off guard]: Thank you.

Speaking of maidens, watch another Vice PM, Raisa Bohatyryova, keep up with the Tymoshenkos on a shopping spree. With Tymoshenko in jail, Louis Vuitton needs all the customers they can get.

Oh, girls just wanna have fun. As does the guy who made the video.

Davos Meets Donbas: Bohatyryova Flashes $20K Watch

“Wearing a watch like this around here is de rigueur. Let’s not write about this subject because it’s uninteresting and mean.”

That’s what she told Serhiy Leshchenko of Ukrayinska Pravda.

Boy, did she wear that $20K Harry Winston watch at Davos!

Back in Ukraine, she likes Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel. She drives a Porsche Cayenne.

Who is she? A celebrity?

No, a civil servant!

She serves as Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council. Before accepting Yushchenko’s job offer, she used to be a Party of Regions MP and, early in her career, a gynecologist.

In Ukraine, the road from rags to riches is often paved with civil service. Indeed, civil service works miracles in Ukraine. It makes them celebrities before they know it.

It makes it de rigueur for them to consume some of the world’s most expensive brands to run Europe’s second-to-last poorest country.

Forget Frugality: Kyiv Governor Sports a Mercedes S550 4Matic!

Some public officials just don’t seem to heed the President’s call for frugality.

Meet Kyiv Oblast Governor Vira Ulyanchenko, a friend of President Yushchenko and his appointee, who sped away from the recent NUNS convention in a Mercedes S550 4Matic.

Asked by Serhiy Leshchenko of Ukrayinska Pravda about her luxury car, Governor Ulyanchenko replied, “That’s a leftover from Zasukha,” referring to former governor Anatoliy Zasukha, the local pillar of the Kuchma regime.

The only problem with her story, says Leshchenko, is that the Mercedes S550 4Matic simply did not exist during the Kuchma era.

Further investigation revealed that the car, bought in 2008, is registered to Ulyanchenko’s driver and, by arrangement, may also be used by her husband’s driver.

According to Ulyanchenko’s 2005 tax returns, she and her husband made Hr. 112,000 ($22,178) and Hr. 123,000 ($24,356) respectively and had no savings. In 2006, Ulyanchenko earned a monthly salary of Hr. 7,000 ($1,386).

Nice car, Mrs. Governor!

One more car thing. Here’s how President Yushchenko and PM Tymoshenko left the scene of the tragedy in Yevpatoria.

The “two for the road” failed to buckle up, thus violating traffic rules.

According to Tymoshenko, she and Yushchenko consumed two bottles of cognac on their flight back to Kyiv. “Bohatyryova was the third one. But I remained the soberest one,” Tymoshenko was quoted as saying.
