A LA GUERRE COMME A LA GUERRE

December 27, 2011

This morning I tried to call a taxi. A lady’s voice answered that orders are taken only when the potential passenger tells his/her passport data. It goes without saying that I, angrily, hung up the phone. Later in the evening I accessed the Internet to find out how popular was the “service” offered. I went to the clients’ column of the taxi company I had tried to contact and read a commentary that somebody, pretending to take orders on behalf of the company in question, spoke rather rude to the callers, even threatened them. It looks like I had run into the “somebody.”

At the moment a war of businesses is being waged in Kyiv: new political bosses from the East of Ukraine, having gained a victory in the 2010 election, are trying to get the upper hand of the companies that have been functioning in the capital until recently. My guess is that this morning I became a victim of that war.
