The TK Media editorial team respects the personal lives of people's deputies and publishes the deputy's correspondence only because the parliamentarian was choosing a car during working hours in the plenary hall of the Verkhovna Rada and is obliged to enter it in his electronic declaration as a significant change in his property status within 10 days of the purchase.
A TK Media journalist saw the people's deputy suggest to his wife that they buy a new Jaguar F-Pace worth $63,000.
«Maybe we buy a Jaguar F-Pace? 63k, available in chocolate with a white interior. Enough for the down payment with zero credit», — wrote the deputy.
After this, the deputy's wife began searching for this model online. «Like this one?», asks Kabanov's wife, sending a link to the car model.
«That's the sport version. And this one is prestige trim. There's no air suspension lift, but everything else is there», replies the deputy.
At the same time, the deputy sent the same message to a contact signed as «Bird Insurance».
Over two plenary weeks, the people's deputy repeatedly visited car sales websites and looked at the car that interested him.
In different colour options.
To buy the car in instalments, the people's deputy needed a certificate of income. However, the Verkhovna Rada administration was in no hurry to issue it, which led Kabanov to lash out at his assistant — Anna Troitska.
Afterwards, the deputy complained to his wife about his assistant. The people's deputy called her a «stupid lazy bitch» who «can't even get a duplicate salary certificate», and added that his «hands are dropping».
Learning about the problems with getting the income certificate, Kabanov's interlocutor said he would make him a false income certificate if he weren't a public figure. In response, the deputy suggested making such a certificate for his wife, describing her maternity leave as outsourcing work.
From the correspondence between Deputy Kabanov and the contact «Bird Insurance»
«Bird Insurance»: If you weren't a public figure, I'd make you such a certificate, you'd already be riding)
Deputy Kabanov: Make it for my wife
«Bird Insurance»: And what about the maternity leave that's been exposed?
Deputy Kabanov: Outsourcing, remotely
A week later, «Bird Insurance» reported a positive decision on the instalment plan for the people's deputy.
From Deputy Kabanov's exchange with the contact «Bird Insurance»
«Bird Insurance»: Today there'll be info on you, everything's under control
Deputy Kabanov: What info? Stop threatening a people's deputy!
«Bird Insurance»: F*) The case is at committee. They'll announce the result today))
Deputy Kabanov: And what will they say?))
«Bird Insurance»: Positive
Deputy Kabanov: Divine! Yana's already been out since morning on a test drive, thrilled, dangerous to disappoint her))
Meanwhile, the deputy's wife sent a message: «car is fire».
Later, the deputy spoke with his wife. «Where did the info about the camera and the car come from?», the people's deputy asked his wife.
«The car is fire. It does 200 and you don't even notice», wrote the parliamentarian's wife.
In response, the people's deputy told her to book the car and said he would «chuck in the dough». Deputy Kabanov is ready to make a down payment of 30% of the sum, which amounts to slightly over $20,000.
Kabanov also asked his wife to find an active driving instructor.
In response, the deputy's wife sent him a photo of the new car.
