Anatoliy Bondarenko, the mayor of Cherkasy, can rightfully be considered the most successful Ukrainian mayor. But not in the development of the city, but in the amount of city land he has appropriated, the money he has earned through tenders, and the number of friends, drivers, and gardeners he has employed in the city hall. There will be few people who are indifferent to this story, because for almost 10 years of plundering the regional center, Bondarenko has remained almost unnoticed by law enforcement agencies. A real success, nothing less.
