Boyko has never been a moral person; he has always been a fraud, according to Vitaly Barvinenko.

It's unfortunate to be an ace in someone else's deck of cards, but it's even worse to find yourself as a worn-out six, face down, in your later years. One must know when to exit politics. There is a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them.

Of course, one can remain a political corpse, pretending to be alive, resembling the crackling of beetles fighting over a lifeless political body.

Yesterday's speech by Boyko deserves to be echoed as an epitaph by Ostap Bender on Panikovsky's grave:

"…I was often unjust to the deceased. But was the deceased a moral person? No, he was not a moral person. He was a former blind man, a charlatan, and a goose thief. He devoted all his efforts to living off society. But society did not want him to live at its expense. And Mikhail Samuilovich could not bear this contradiction in views, because he had a hot temper."

Yuri Anatolyevich has never been a moral person; he has always been a charlatan and a goose thief. He devoted all his efforts to living off the resources of Ukrainian society, but society no longer wants him to thrive on its means. Boyko cannot bear this contradiction because he has a hot temper.

Thus, he decided in his old age to shake things up and present himself as a fighter for the bright future of Ukraine, as ordered from above. For many aspiring politicians in the mid-2000s, Boyko was considered an authority. But as Halych sang: "Our Father turned out not to be a father, but a piece of s**t."
