Wave of 'suicides' among former Ukrainian regional officials continuing

The wave of "suicides" among former "Regionals" in Ukraine is continuing.

Former chairman of Zaporozhye Regional State Administration Alexander Peklushenko committed suicide

The Chief Inspector of the Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Zaporozhye region, Aleksandr Soloshenko, informed the correspondent of RBC-Ukraine. "Yes. Aleksandr Peklushenko committed suicide at his home in the village of Solnechnoe. At the moment, an investigative team is working at the scene," said Aleksandr Soloshenko.

Aleksandr Peklushenko was a suspect in the case of the dispersal of Zaporozhye Maidan on January 26, 2014. On the night of February 28, a former deputy chairman of the Party of Regions, Mikhail Chechetov, committed suicide. On the evening of March 9, Party of Regions People's Deputy of the Fifth and Sixth Radas, Stanislav Melnik, committed suicide.

PS: Judging by the pace, new "suicides" are not far off. Belonging to the Party of Regions during Yanukovych's reign is apparently now a factor in raising the risk of a sudden "suicide". Nonetheless, the "Regionals" are in fact paying the price for last year's cowardice with their positions, money and sometimes even lives, because unlike them, the coup ringleaders who replaced them are not so delicate and, in contrast to Yanukovych, they are not so embarrassed by blood.
