ГУЛаг Палестины
Шрифт:
unindicted criminal in the world."
Luchansky's trading activities in the former Soviet Union encompass weapons, oil,
narcotics, natural gas, chemicals, precious metals, fertilizers, agricultural
commodities, and consumer goods.
Other Luchansky enterprises reportedly include prostitution, drug manufacture,
racketeering, influence peddling and fixed privatization auctions.
Nordex grossed $2 billion in 1994, investing some of its income in enterprises
ranging from a Moscow beer brewery to a Kyiv tire plant, a Magnitogorsk steel mill,
an Austrian health spa and even a Uruguayan car dealership, according to various
media reports.
Luchansky's biggest business coup came in 1993, when he engineered a fuel-for-food
deal between Russia and Ukraine.
In 1995, after meeting at a Democratic Party fundraiser with U.S. President Bill
Clinton and sparking a U.S. political scandal, Luchansky fell under increasingly
intense international investigation.
In 1996 a $35 million gold mine deal brokered by Luchansky between the Kazakhstan
government and a Canadian mining company flopped, cutting into Nordex earnings.
Nordex has reportedly suffered in the wake of the emerging-markets economic crisis.
Luchansky maintains a residence in the Israeli seaside town of Netanya, a Mecca for
Soviet-region emigres and scene of intense Russian mob activity, the Jerusalem Post
newspaper reported.
The Post was unable to contact Luchansky for comment and his whereabouts are unknown.
I Expand My Summary Table Once Again
The table which I have been developing in my previous four letters to you can now be
elaborated with the Leonid Wolf entry. As the SBU press release gives no dates for the
Leonid Wolf assassinations, I am assuming that they took place in the last five years:

And I Find My Earlier Conclusions Strengthened
For your 23Oct94 60 Minutes broadcast The Ugly Face of Freedom, you went to Ukraine
determined to broadcast the story - no matter what the evidence - of Ukrainians
oppressing and murdering Jews. In order to do so, you had to blind yourself to the
plentiful evidence that exactly the opposite was taking place. The reality is that
Ukraine is being plundered and assaulted by a Jewish mafia based in Israel. You can
begin your investigation of this phenomenon with the cases of the following three
Israeli citizens: (1) "the most pernicious unindicted criminal in the world" Grigory
Luchansky, (2) his "key Ukrainian lieutenant" Vadim Rabinovich, and (3) "contract
killer" Leonid Wolf. Please note that in your smearing of Ukraine, you were unable to
come up with evidence of a Ukrainian mafia based in Ukraine and victimizing Israel. The
evidence was the opposite, but you were not interested in evidence.
But since the subject of our discussion is not merely crime, but rather cross-ethnic
violence, I restrict my attention to assassin Leonid Wolf, and with respect to Leonid
Wolf, I ask you to note that you were unable to come up with evidence of a Ukrainian
assassin who roamed Israel murdering as he went, especially one whom Israel, fearing the
vengeance of a powerful Ukraine, neglected to arrest and put on trial, but merely banned
from Israeli soil for a time.
Mr. Safer, Ukraine's plunderers and assassins cannot operate in a vacuum. They need
support. They need Swiss banks to stash their loot. They need Israel to provide them
with sanctuary. They need journalists to smear their victims. And so, although you
have lost all claim to journalistic competence and integrity, at least you can console
yourself with not being alone and unappreciated. Indeed, you are a valued member of a
large and successful team. Grigory Luchansky, Vadim Rabinovich, and Leonid Wolf
undoubtedly know of your work, and they thank you for it.
