Recently appointed Deputy Minister of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine Serhiy Belyaev, according to the data specified in his declaration has a significant collection of antiques.
As stated in declaration , it owns 55 icons, twenty of which in a state of its own restoration. The official also has graphic, picturesque, sculptural works and reliefs of his own authorship in heraldry, numismatics, portraits of princely, Scythian and Cossack era in the amount of 650 units.
In addition, Sergey Belyaev owns 420 units of numismatic products created by author sketches and six books of hand printing. According to our sources, not all antiques have indicated in the Declaration of Belyaev, and individual specimens have considerable artistic and cultural value.
According to the source, "they have a place in a place in a museum, not in a private collection, and the appointment of a person who has already seized a significant number of antique products to the position of deputy head of the Ministry of Culture through the muddy schemes.
It is worth noting that Belyaev's appointment as a deputy head of the Ministry of Culture also caused indignation on social networks. In particular, Volodymyr Tsybulko asked the question on his Facebook : "For the merits, suddenly as Deputy Minister of Culture and Information Policy, Sergey Belyaev was, who, having a salary in the previous place of work less than 10 thousand hryvnias, managed to collect a collection from hundreds of coins and works?
With regard to the issue of "for what merits", Sergei Belyaev took the position of Deputy Head of the Ministry of Culture, we can assume that Belyaev could cross with the current Minister of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine Mykola Tokitsky or his close surroundings while working in the administration of the Behal President Viktor Yanukovych.
Thus, in 2013, Serhiy Belyaev held the position of Deputy Head of the Main Department of the State Protocol and Ceremonial - Head of the State Heraldry and Ceremonial of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine. It is worth noting that this position provides frequent contacts with the Foreign Ministry, which is a native of which is Mykola Totchitsky.
In any case, the appointment of Belyaev to the post of deputy Mykola Tocitsky was not immediately extended. According to our source in the Cabinet of Ministers, "Belyaev could not be appointed by the Deputy Minister for more than a month, because both the Declaration" Strhomas "and his admiration for numismatics, painting and antiques are dark."
It is planned that in the Ministry of Culture, Sergei Belyaev as an "architect and honored artist" will control permits for construction and repairs in historical places and buildings. That is, Belyaev is intended for certain tasks, and his future activity carries high risks of corruption abuse. According to the source, "Belyaev corruption income will increase ten times."
