Today is the premiere of the next issue of “Listen to Violity”. This time, Denys's guest is a collector Viktor Chernov from Ternopil. He is known to the Violity community as a user under the nickname sliderone, and he is also the author of a petition to the Cabinet of Ministers to reform the legislation on the movement of cultural property.
The reason for its creation was the collector's personal story, namely, an unsuccessful attempt to buy UPR banknotes on a foreign website. Viktor described this story in detail in his publication in Violity Magazine last November.
Unfortunately, instead of the desired Ukrainian coupons, our guest received a criminal prosecution. During a search, his entire collection was seized, and he was accused of smuggling. This case has been going on for almost three years.
Now, in search of justice, Viktor plans to go to the Supreme Court. We invited Viktor for a conversation to learn more about his struggle.
The collector says that his main desire is to convey to law enforcement and customs authorities, as well as MPs and the Ministry of Culture, that there are fundamental problems in Ukrainian legislation regarding the definition and procedure for the movement of cultural property. He told Denys about them in detail.
How did this unfortunate story affect Viktor as a collector? What advice can he give to his fellow newcomers? Did the hero try to publicize the situation in the media and what happened? All this is in the episode.
Of course, the host couldn't help but ask the guest directly about the subject of his passion - Ukrainian money. They talked about the graphic design of modern hryvnias, the relevance of the transition from kopecks to shahs, the history of the Government Paper Procurement Expedition, and much more.
Tune in to the new episode of the Listen to Violity podcast on April 16 at 17:00.
