Avakov is the devil (Ukrainian: Аваков — чорт) was an unofficilal name of the series of mass protests in Ukraine in 2019-2021 against the crimes of the police and the ministry of internal affairs Arsen Avakov. The actions were focused on the person of the minister and were aimed at displacing Avakov from the position of Minister of Internal Affairs. The first action took place on August 28, 2019 as a result of President Zelenskyi's decision to leave Avakov in Honcharuk's government (Avakov was the minister since 2014 in Ukraine).[1][2][3][4]
