When the famous TV host Larry King came to Ukraine in 2012 to take interview from the corrupt ex-prime minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov, it was quite a surprise, since even in Ukraine nobody cared to listen to interview with Azarov. Azarov was quite unpopular as prime minister and became a kind of clown for his attempts to speak broken Ukrainian. He was the first minister from the gang of Yanukovych who ran away from Ukraine right before the 2014 revolution. He fled from Ukraine even before the president Yanukovych realized that it was time to run. Azarov is now hiding in Russia – the criminals’ paradise, together with many other members of Yanukovych’s gangster party “The Party of Regions”. 

Recently, a “black accounting book” of the Party of Regions was found, which revealed very interesting details about whom and how much this party has paid. According to it, Larry King was paid $225k in cash, and most likely this cash was "black". 

After interview with Azarov, Larry King said to journalists: “Azarov is a straightforward and honest person with a deep knowledge of world affairs, especially in the field of economics. It seemed to me that he was very frank in expressing his opinion about [Russian Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin, the U.S. elections, and [former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia] Tymoshenko”. Now we know that the price of these words was $225000.

National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine is now investigating the accounting book to investigate the corruption schemes of the ex-ruling party.

Among others in that book was Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who has been paid $12.7 mln:
