The untouchable caste or a theater of the absurd called “institutional resilience”🎭
Recently, on the anniversary of the establishment of the High Anti-Corruption Court, the notorious Chair of the High Council of Justice, Hryhoriy Usyk, as usual showered compliments. Allegedly, over years of procedural activity the HACC has proven its “high level of professionalism, institutional resilience, which is the key to success.”
Sounds good? Undoubtedly. But the devil, as always, is in the details that the judiciary leadership prefers to keep silent about.
So what is the cynicism of this “resilience”?
🛑 Mutual protection and a taboo on disciplinary proceedings:
While encomiums are broadcast from the podiums, reality shows that the HCJ has effectively created an untouchable cocoon around certain judges. Disciplinary complaints against “necessary” or loyal servants of the judiciary are routinely dismissed on artificial and formalistic grounds. Instead of cleansing the system, we see its preservation.
🤝 Cases that speak for themselves:
🔥 Judge Saliy: instead of a fair investigation and disciplinary responsibility, the judge quietly and “silently” resigned (keeping all substantial lifetime payments from the state).
🔥 “Fraudster judge” Holnyk: who is reasonably accused of violating judicial ethics on social media, having conflicts with colleagues, unlawfully collecting and publishing closed personal data of third parties, and publicly discrediting international figures.
Cases and complaints against such “public” judges are demonstratively ignored or blocked at the level of HCJ members, who have personally established an unwritten taboo on real punishment for “their own.”
🦃 Praising grant-dependent friends and disgraced judges for “professionalism” is a convenient tactic to create an image before international partners. But for Ukrainian society this theater of the absurd has long been obvious.
‼️ Judicial reform will happen only when institutional resilience means the inevitability of punishment, not the resilience of corrupt ties.
