President of Fund of effective policy Gleb Pavlovsky denies his
involvement into poisoning of president of Ukraine Victor Yushchenko.
"It is a primitive falsification which I fully deny. (…)This is a petty
lie of the TV channel which works in the mode of propaganda and
counterpropaganda" - said Pavlovsky on Wednesday, "Interfax-Ukraine"
informs.We remind that "The 5th channel" gave to Office of Public
Prosecutor of Ukraine the tape with the record of phone talk of two
figures of Russian Federal security service who said that the idea of
poisoning Yushchenko belonged to Russian political technologist Gleb
Pavlovsky.
Pavlovsky, commenting these reports, said that even in December "the
5th channel" program, in which the tape was mentioned, "seemed to be
too rough PR-action even for the supporters of present power". "It is
obvious even to unprofessional, that such question, like poisoning of
political figure, can not be discussed by phone".
He admitted, that the undertaken action "could be developed by some
circles in Ukrainian security service, whose purpose was to bring an
anti-russian mood". Pavlovsky added also, that he has "unverified information that some
circles in Ukraine consider this situation as an answer for unclosed
Russian case concerning prime minister of Ukraine Julia Timoshenko".
