To give you an understanding of why I created this blog, I will first give you some history and information about Ukraine's corruption.
First off, how is Ukraine so corrupt?
You do not know what the word corrupt means until you look at it in the context of the Ukrainian government. Corruption can be seen in the everyday lives of citizens and business people. Ukraine is one European country that suffers from extreme corruption in all sectors of its government. It is because of the corruption that Ukraine does not have the opportunity to flourish and expand economically with the rest of the world.
You might ask why not end the corruption? What is stopping it? It is because of the elite cartels. Ukraine is greatly influenced by the many top cartels. They hold the power and continue to gain success off of harming the local Ukrainian people. Because of their extreme colluding, it affects every other branch of government that the Ukrainian people rely on: the police force, legislative system, economic system, health system, education system, etc. The people are forced to live in a corrupt society and do not even know it.
My friend Oksana Mayuik once lived in Ukraine and had to deal with the corrupt society. She moved to America when she was 10 and can now tell the tragic story of how the corruption deeply affects the people, including her and her family. I will use her tragic story of her experience in Ukraine to demonstrate how corrupt Ukraine really is.
