Opinions or points of view expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official position or policies of the Department. Organized Economic Crime and Corruption in Ukraine Alexander G. Kalman Yaroslav Mudry National Law Academy of Ukraine One of the most disastrous consequences of the collapse of the Ukrainian communist system has been the wide-spread increase of economic crime. This phenomenon is self-sustaining, penetrating all levels of Ukraine’s economy and administrative sectors. Criminal activity helps to sustain the shadow economy in Ukraine, which has been estimated by various sources to constitute 50-60% of the economy. Law enforcement and administrative efforts have been largely futile in curbing this corruption. Nevertheless, it is possible to overcome the criminal social and economic order that has become ingrained in this “shadow economy.” This paper seeks to propose policy solutions for Ukrainian economic crime and corruption, that could be implemented at the national level. Present day organized crime and corruption in Ukraine, complex in both content and structure, are a direct result of the profound economic, cultural, and political changes brought about during Ukraine’s transition as a Newly Independent State.

    1 4) Survivor Testimonies, Memoirs, Diaries, And

    4) SURVIVOR TESTIMONIES, MEMOIRS, DIARIES, AND LETTERS Introduction The fourth section of the Reader consists of testimonies, memoirs, and letters by famine victims. Most are by ordinary folk and are usually of a personal nature. At the same time, they provide a plethora of oftentimes painful and gut-wrenching details about the fate of family members and particular villages. Interestingly, several testimonies emphasize the limitation of the famine to Ukraine, noting that conditions just across the border in Russia were significantly better. A letter from German settlers in southern Ukraine to their relatives in North Dakota illustrates the fate of the German minority in Ukraine during the famine. Some testimonies were given before U.S. government-sponsored investigative bodies. Some, such as those published in The Black Deeds of the Kremlin, were collected and published by Ukrainian émigrés and Holodomor survivors at the height of the Cold War. This made it easy for those holding pro-Soviet views to dismiss them as anticommunist propaganda. A noteworthy personal account is that of Maria Zuk, who emigrated from southern Ukraine to western Canada to join her husband in the late summer of 1933, when she gave her interview to journalists working for a Ukrainian- language newspaper in Winnipeg. Another is Miron Dolot’s Execution by Hunger, published by a major American press in 1985. This section also contains materials from non-peasants: Fedir Pigido- Pravoberezhny, who worked as an engineer in Ukraine; Yurij Lawrynenko and Mykola Prychodko, both literary scholars; and Vladimir Keis, an urban worker at the time of the famine who retained strong ties with the Ukrainian village.

    ALMANAC ON SECURITY SECTOR GOVERNANCE IN UKRAINE 2012 Geneva-Kyiv, 2013 Editors: Joseph L. DERDZINSKI, Valeriya KLYMENKO Design and layout: Oleksandr SHAPTALA This volume offers a selection of articles by the Ukrainian and international authors. They present different points of view and assessments of the current state and perspectives of the Ukrainian Security Sector development including its defence, internal security and defence industry. The analysis also covers broader issues of national domestic and foreign policy directly infl uencing security of the Ukrainian citizens, society and the state. Such an approach helps better appreciate ongoing developments in the Security Sector and the essence of problems related to national security.

"821579 -Forest Crime - ISFP-2017-AG-ENV" 2 Illegal logging accounts for as much as 10–30 % of the total logging worldwide, with some estimates as high as 20–50 %1 when laundering of illegal wood is included, with a growing involvement of organized crime. A significant proportion of forestry crimes are now carried out by organized criminal networks utilising an international network of quasi-legitimate businesses and corporate structures to hide their illegal activities, which include creative accounting to launder criminal proceeds or collusion with senior government officials. Organized forest crime continues to evolve and develop new methods to conduct forestry crime operations and launder illegal timber. In the Danube-Carpathian Region and Ukraine, forestry crime is a recognised problem, damaging Europe’s last primeval forests and undermining government policies to sustainably manage and protect forests. Depending on sources and dates, estimates of illegal logging range from 0,1% to 40% throughout the country. Though the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) came into force in 2013 to stop illegal wood and paper products being placed on the European market, the EUTR and national laws in Ukraine against forestry crimes have up to now not been implemented with full effect due to different gaps and obstacles.

    Ukraine – Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 30 November 2010 Information on the prevalence of organised crime in Ukraine An Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada response to a request for information on organised crime in Ukraine, in a section titled “Organized Crime in Ukraine”, states: “According to the International Narcotics Control Strategy Report 2006 (INCSR 2006), ‘[d]espite a government crackdown on corruption, organized crime, smuggling, and tax evasion, these problems continue to plague Ukraine's economy and to provide an impetus to money laundering’. Ukraine has been identified as one of the main countries of origin where ‘organized crime networks’ are engaged in human trafficking and immigrant smuggling. These two criminal activities continue to be associated with money laundering and sexual exploitation. INCSR 2006 reported that although Ukraine has satisfactory counternarcotics legislation, ‘[t]rafficking and use of narcotics [have] continued to increase in 2005’. Illegal arms trafficking is another problem that Ukraine is trying to address, in close cooperation with the European Union (EU).” (Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (14 March 2006) UKR101124.E – Ukraine: Information on organized crime's infiltration of, and links with, government authorities; government initiatives taken against organized crime (2005 - 2006)) The 2007 US Department of State country report on Ukraine, in a section headed “Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life”, states: “During the year politicians, politically active businessmen, and journalists were the victims of sometimes fatal attacks that may have been politically motivated; however, business, government, and criminal activities were intertwined to such an extent that it was often difficult to determine the motives.
