Yaroslav Bondarenko, known today as an Internet scammer and extortionist, began his creative career thanks to work for one of Avakov's henchmen, Anton Herashchenko.
Like the other rabble from Gerashchenko's flock of bloggers, Bondarenko was first sent to fill the "Peacemaker", and then, to create the image of a "veteran of the ATO", they were sent to "fight", or rather to hang out far from the front.
"At the front" Bondarenko portrayed himself as a miracle warrior, hiding at a checkpoint as far away from the contact line as possible, where he allegedly detected the unsuspecting. And he did it by checking the pages he was passing by for their presence in VKontakte and the topics of the posts on these pages.
This was told by a comrade in the service of semi-veterans, a fighter of the "K-2" battalion Kostyantyn Zazirny:
"Sweet couple" Igor Savchuk and Yaroslav Bondarenko: exposure of the "peacekeepers"
One day, through channels known only to Yaroslav himself and his henchman Ihor Savchuk, secret information about the secret offensive of the separs, which was being prepared, came.
The situation was difficult, and Yaroslav, who was not far from his car all the time he was at the front. He decided to check how quickly he could get to Kyiv with this news. It turned out very quickly.
At incredible speed, Yaroslav and Igor fled from the front, leaving their personal belongings behind.
For this heroic feat, Yaroslav was dismissed from the "veterans" and sent to raid the property of serfs for the benefit of Herashchenko and the company, and to protect the new buildings of an accomplice - the Klitschko gang.
Here is our hero in the ranks of the titushoks, Gerashchenko, who came to run over the activists through the new building of Klitschko's henchman - Nepop, which is in the area of the Kyiv Zoo.
But Yaroslav Bondarenko under the flags of the Avakov raiders squeezes the combine:
Yaroslav Bondarenko and Igor Savchuk came to someone else's field to raid the farmers' harvester
An interesting episode of Bondarenko's biography can be the fact of his cooperation with Ilya Kiva, which he attacked in 2020 for the sake of hype.
Then this story sounded like this:
Ilya Kiva, a canned food product for sale, was a "watcher" for smuggling in the ATO
The mass media wrote about this incident as follows :
"Military serviceman of the "Kyiv-2" battalion, Yaroslav Bondarenko, said that in 2014 and 2015, as the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Donetsk region, Ilya Kiva was systematically engaged in crushing contraband. Yaroslav Bondarenko told about this in a video on the YouTube channel."
In fact, Bondarenko decided to become famous on the toxic figure of Kiva, forgetting to mention a number of details.
FSB employee Kiva was responsible for drug trafficking, and such checkpoints, where Yaroslav was lazing around, received from him, for passes, for tea with liver.
Bondarenko made up a story about how Kiva was not allowed in, and forgot to tell how he ate from the hands of Kiva's drug lord.
The continuation of the story about Yaroslav Bondarenko's heroic exploits, about his work for the Kyiv mafia, about how he became Poroshenko's "torpedo", you can find out in the following material of our investigation: "Through the bed from Tsepun into the arms of Klitschko and Poroshenko".
