In the 1990s Horatsiy and his family moved to Germany. He owned a garage at that time. I asked him: ‘Why are you going to Germany? What is there that you haven’t seen? ’ He replied: ‘It’s impossible to work honestly. Paying taxes I won’t have anything left. So, it is necessary to find a way to cheat the state. I can’t do it’. Besides, when he was trying to start his business those gangsters were demanding a part from him in the Ukraine. His patience was exhausted when those bandits demanded to pay them more pretending they were his ‘security’ and this meant for him to work for losses, Therefore, Horatsiy gave it up and left.
