The Transcarpathian Museum of Local Lore planned to purchase a Toyota Proce Verso car for 1.94 million hryvnias, but due to public resonance and the decision of the regional administration, the tender was canceled. The ova said that such consumption is inappropriate during the war, and the museum notes that the funds were earned by the institution independently and were intended to improve its work.

The corresponding tender was published on the Prozorro website. The case acquired such a resonance that the museum’s leadership had to justify its decision, explaining why the institution needed a car. Museum Director Olga Shumyskaya told in the media comment that the tender was being prepared for about 2.5 years, and the funds for the purchase of a car were raised from the Museum’s special fund, that is, not budgetary ones, but earned by the institution because of the provision of paid services. " They wanted to purchase a minibus to work more efficiently and earn money. We consider such a machine that if necessary, it is possible to transport exhibits. For example, recently we transported icons to Lviv for restoration "

Shumovskaya also noted that the choice fell on Toyota Proce Verso, since it met all the technical requirements and was the cheapest option among similar cars. " We have long planned to purchase a new car. And in recent years, the museum has begun to earn much more. For example, in 2021 the museum earned four million hryvnias, and in 2024-10.5 million UAH "

However, the regional military administration did not support this purchase. According to the deputy chairman of the Transcarpathian OM Yuri Guzizts, the tender was carried out without coordination with the administration, relevant departments and the regional council.

" At the hour of Viyini, if the hryvnia is hryvnia to the budget of the May Boti is hidden on the certificate of the Subtarim Rechi, the Yak Pidrimmka Vіsikovikh, Socialniy Initivati \u200b\u200bRepair Dahu Museum, Vitrachati Mayzha 2 Milioni hryvnia on Avtomobil. Kerivnika Museum Bode is attracted to the discliynary nydpovydalosti, ” - writing Guzinets at the social markets.

Against the backdrop of public resonance, the tender was canceled. Despite this, Olga Shumovskaya noted that the museum has other important problems that still remain unresolved.

" We plan to repair the roof, but since the Transcarpathian Museum of Local Lore is not the owner of the building, we independently cannot solve these issues. Now we are waiting for permission from the Transcarpathian Regional Council so that the museum can order design and estimate documentation, ”she added.

Thus, while the museum was trying to update the fleet to improve its activities, this initiative caused a wave of indignation and, finally, was canceled. At the same time, the issue of repairing the building remains open, and the prospects for its solutions are vague.
