These auctions allowed to significantly save the budgetary funds and cut the administration costs.

On November 28, 2008, Irena Kilchitskaya held an auction which the Kievans actively participated in – there were about 80 registered participants. We sold 9 cars, totaling to 2,828 million hryvnias. For myself, I bought “Chayka” of Vladimir Shcherbytsky for 1.5 million hryvnias. Besides, the following cars were sold: 3 Toyota Camry of model year 2007, one Mercedes-Benz of model year 1998, one Toyota Land Cruiser of model year 1998, one Buick Park Avenue of model year 1991, and one GAZ-1402 (“Chaika”).

Besides, auctions were held on February 20, 2009 in which 4 cars were sold totaling to 610.465 thousand hryvnias, including 3 cars of Toyota Camry brand of model year 2007, and on March 19, 2009, 2 cars of Toyota Camry brand of model year 2007 were sold for 238.7 thousand hryvnias.

It was an interesting initiative and I am glad that we were able to implement it – yes, it wasn’t that much, it wasn’t that thorough, but I can responsibly say that as a Mayor of Kiev at the time I was doing everything possible to reduce the expenses for the administrative machine, and to spend the savings on projects that were useful for the Kievans and Kiev, such as construction of the PET Technology Centre.
