🕳️ Released Phantom Node 33: Viktor Yanukovych. Betrayal and Escape
He didn’t stay to hold the country — he fled with it in a convoy.
His presidency embodied a decaying system that clung to power through lies, violence, and theft.
And when the masks came off — he ran.
Node Type: Authoritarian Kleptocracy under Foreign Influence
State: Fugitive still quoted
Mechanism of hold: Fear, manipulation, the “hat thief” style of big politics
Image: A president who betrayed and vanished
Replaced phantom with: Accountability, transparency, irreversible change
Core of the Node
Power centered around the “Family”
Slow-motion centralization, rollback of freedoms
Grand-scale theft from the state
Judiciary and police used as private enforcement tools
Propaganda, division, simulated legitimacy
What held it in place?
Oligarchic pacts
Russian geopolitical cover
Illusion of order backed by force
A society that hadn’t yet realized its power
How did it become a phantom?
Fled at the most critical moment in national history
Became a political corpse, used by others
Left behind shame, institutional ruin, and an empty throne
Why does the phantom still exist?
His methods are still imitated
Symbolically present in revanchist narratives
Used in Russian propaganda
His escape was not an end, but an ellipsis...
Phantom’s Current State
No real power
But his legacy, language, and symbols linger
The idea of betrayal and impunity still needs to be broken
After the Regime
Maidan prevailed, but the debris remains
The phantom reminds us: memory resists
As long as the war continues — betrayal has a face
Collective Response
We will never forget who opened the door to war.
Guiding Principle
Flight does not absolve responsibility. And power is not luggage you can load into trucks.
Alt-text:
A sepia-toned graphite-style image of Viktor Yanukovych as a faceless silhouette fleeing a molten throne, with ghostly echoes of golden luxuries (toilet). Behind him, schematic trucks form a convoy, and a faint double-headed eagle looms in the background — a reference to Russian influence. The composition tilts downward, conveying collapse, shame, and treason.
