HRC for August 2026 produced 30 documents regarding candidates for appellate courts:
20 negative conclusions
9 negative information items
1 annulment of a conclusion.
That's half as many as the promised 60 candidates per month.
Perhaps in this situation one should quote the interview with Oksana Syroid published this week, in which she said that the HRC long ago completed the task it was created for and therefore should be liquidated.
“This instrument was intended for one and a half — at most two years. That is exactly how long it takes to understand whether the system begins to work as it should, and then this instrument is not needed. Or the system does not want to work as it should, and then this instrument is also not needed,” Syroid noted.
And when asked what conclusion follows from that, she answered:
“As the person who came up with it, I believe the Public Council of Integrity should be liquidated.
I generally believe that all public councils should be liquidated.
In fact, even before the HRC all the public councils were created by Yanukovych — a kind of 'courtly' public.
If you want to fight corruption, you don't need a public anti‑corruption council at the Ministry of Defense — go to the Ministry of Defense and fight.
If you want to be involved in selecting judges — apply to be a member of the High Qualification Commission of Judges or become a judge, go through that whole path, suffer through it.
But few are willing to suffer like that — it's much easier to sit in some room and attack those you don't like.”
It's hard to disagree with that. Now the HRC is a convenient and pretty feeding trough that is skillfully used by those who started doing this 10 years ago and learned to profit from it.
And who is that? Could it be Mikhail Zh again?
