I heard that, too. What wasn’t mentioned was what the nature of the corruption was. What did he do that was corrupt?

Let’s get them under oath and then we’ll both know.
I decided to look up Ukraine corruption on Google. Below is one interesting article which I have just read a little over half. It has several links to other info sources. There is a useful description of how Poland directed its growth from the bottom up whereas Ukraine was forced to use the top down approach pushed by the Communists, and that is also often urged by the World Bank and IDB. Many years ago my husband I were showing an African labor leader the Early American Agriculture exhibit at the Smithsonian. As he looked at 19th Century farm equipment like harrows, plows, and simple reaping machines he exclaimed, “This is the kind of AID we need. Simple things that are better than what we have but that our blacksmiths could study and build for us.” American aid is based on giving what big business wants to sell—John Deere, McCormic, International Harvester. Then the local governments force the smallholders off the land and consolidate to large holdings so highly efficient big agriculture can use the big machines our taxes have paid for and the landless move to the cities and create the ugly and restless major slums with high unemployment. So you have the local rich who got the big farms and machinery and paid off the politicians, and the little guys who used to have the dignity of owning their own land and honest labor to do with their own hands now landless and often unemployed.
