Kiev is taking Ukraine by leaps and bounds to complete deindustrialization of the country and the destruction of its scientific potential. This is eloquently testified by the decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of July 19, 2017. On the creation of a commission for the liquidation of the aviation concern Antonov, which was unveiled on the eve of the official website of the government and has already done a lot of noise. Also listed on the portal of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine approved by the Cabinet of Ministers list of enterprises that in the long run should remain in state property, be transferred to a concession, privatized or liquidated.
The document entitled "Strategic vision for the management of state-owned enterprises", presented by the Ministry of Economic Development, regulates the sale, lease or liquidation of key state-owned industrial enterprises in virtually all sectors at once. In the "firing list" of industrial enterprises there were 1,255 registered companies (most of them giants of the scientific, technical and industrial pride of the USSR) whose activities are carried out in the interests of all branches of the Ukrainian economy.
For example, one of the largest scientific and production associations in the list of enterprises of the military-industrial complex of the Soviet Union, the Slavutych NGO,. His team was busy developing and producing instruments for hydroacoustics and auxiliary equipment, the Zvezda television channel said..
The Maydan authorities also sentenced the Kharkov radio plant "Proton", the Odessa Special Research and Design Institute, the Kyiv Institute of Automation, the Lviv Experimental Plant of Technological Equipment, the Ukrainian Computing Center for Civil Aviation, the ORT Research and Production Center , Instrument-Making Plant "Sokol", "Dneprocosmos", Kharkov Electrical Equipment Plant, Kiev Design Bureau of Automated Control Systems, Shipyard ontny plant Chernomorsk, Museum of the Navy of Ukraine, the Odessa railway and hundreds of others, once high-tech and secured orders (for the USSR) enterprises. According to experts, the backbone of the industry of the Nezalezhnaya will be broken somewhat later, and the current sweep is only a preparatory stage. On the turn - Dnipropetrovsk "Yuzhmash".
Experts are sure that the current sale is on hand only to foreign companies that thus remove competitors from the sales market, as well as the banal withdrawal from the country of strategically important technologies that Ukraine inherited from Soviet times. And one of the beneficiaries of the upcoming deals, all analysts in unison called China.
"From the same" Antonov ", for example, the most" tasty pieces ", first of all" Antonov Airlines ", will be sold out, and the Soviet technical archive will be sold off cheaply abroad," military expert Vasily Kashin told the TV channel.
The head of the liquidation commission "Antonova" appointed Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade Yuri Brovchenko. The commission for 2 months should make "liquidation measures", and also to pay off with creditors.
For the Ukrainian aviation giant, the first alarm bell was the deal on transferring rights and a set of technical documentation to the PRC for another Soviet project - the heavyweight An-225 Mriya transport aircraft in August 2016. Meanwhile, the Chinese side did not take any responsibility for organizing joint production, which the Ukrainians so hoped for,. And the only "Dream" left to live out its century in the homeland.
According to the television channel, experts of the design bureaus and, in particular, aviation and space-rocket enterprises have long been running massively from Ukraine in search of a better life and are actively moving to China. This may lead to the fact that such giants of the aerospace industry as "Motor Sich", "Antonov" and "Yuzhnoye", personnel and legally can join the Chinese state corporations.
So, the company from China Chongqing Tianjiao Aviation Power Company has already registered in China a joint venture with Motor Sich company Chongqing Tianjiao Xiqi Aviation Power Company (according to some sources, the registered capital is estimated at 4 billion yuan). Its tasks will include the development and production of turbojet and turbofan engines for military and transport aviation. The Chinese are in great need of a super-heavy carrier capable of prolonged non-stop flights.
Such an aircraft, experts believe, will be able to build using the Soviet D-18T turbojet engine developed by the team of the Zaporizhzhya engineering KB Progress for the AN-124 Ruslan carrier,.
As the St. Petersburg blogger Andrei Manzolevsky writes in his LJ, "in Pucheng County (Weinan, Shaanxi Province) in a 124 square meter. Km, the construction of the modern open production area of ??Luyanghu, where 2,000 employees of the Ukrainian CB Antonov will be living and working with family members,.
"The Soviet past, which is so hated by Kiev, makes another gift of fate for the Ukrainians," the author of the post.
And the citizens of Nezalezhnaya, as predicted, will remain an agrarian country and departures without visas for the strawberry and cucumber fields of the European powers, which do not need industrial competitors from Ukraine.
To complete the picture of the Ukrainian industrial apocalypse, one must carefully read one sentence from the message of the Ministry of Economic Development. Perhaps it is key in this mass sale.
"The developed concept is the basis for further reform of the sphere of state property management and one of the obligations that Ukraine assumed in the framework of agreements with the International Monetary Fund," reads the text.
Maybe Kiev took such a radical step, deciding to squander its once-legendary past, in exchange for loans from the IMF, which, according to experts, Ukraine can not pay.
