Le Sabot Post-Moderne - Yanukovych — Left, Right or Nowhere?:
“Politico-economic tribalism captures the clan-based spoils system of Ukraine. When you hear about the oligarchs, you’re probably imagining a few marquee names like Pinchuk or Akhmetov. But the system is more complex than that. For example, Kuchma’s group, the Dnepropetrovsk Clan, contains about 200 businessmen. The purpose of government is to bring home spoils for your tribe, through legislation, subsidies, and sweetheart privatization deals.”
[Emphasis mine]
Hm. Could almost be written about our own government.
I dont think there is a purpose. After all politicians just benifit by buracracy, an they do not benefit the people.
Good Luck on your adoption.
I can not post for some reason on your adoption site, but just wanted to let you know that i have enjoyed your website. We are in the process of adopting our second from Ukraine. Our letter to the NAC is at FedEx as your Dossier was. Hopefully it too will be picked up. One piece of advise. Forget the Ukrainian Phrase book and buy a Russian.
