⚡️ Lectures about freedom from the man who released the murderer of Hryhoriy Gongadze: paradoxes of the Supreme Court
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Stanislav Kravchenko spoke at a roundtable where he complained that in Ukraine the percentage of granted motions for pretrial detention is rising again. He said judges choose pretrial detention “formally,” and society must learn to distinguish between a preventive measure and a punishment.

Maybe Kravchenko felt sorry for the former Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Mudra or prosecutor Kropyv?!
What a touching concern for human rights!
Listening to these lectures, one wants to advise Mr. Kravchenko to come down from the clouds of his corrupt Olympus and hold a master class for the judges of the Pechersky District Court or the High Anti-Corruption Court.
Let him study concrete statistics to see in what real percentage of cases investigative judges dare to “turn down” a prosecutor’s motion. Because the reality of Ukrainian justice is somewhat different from roundtable reports.
However, who better to know the price of freedom and the subtleties of pretrial detention than Kravchenko himself?
Let us recall that the current head of the Supreme Court is a “legend” of Ukrainian justice. It was he who, in 2003 year as part of the panel of judges of the Kyiv Court of Appeal, released Oleksiy Pukach — the key perpetrator of the brutal murder of journalist Heorhiy Gongadze.

Those were times when the capital’s appellate court could overturn a Pechersky Court ruling ordering a person held in custody.
Then Pukach’s detention was replaced with a “written pledge not to leave.” The result? The general-murderer immediately fled and hid from justice for a long 6 years, until he was finally found in some village in Zhytomyr region.
And today a person with such a background heads the Supreme Court, teaching the country about humanism and the proper application of preventive measures. The judicial reform we deserve.
P.S. Strangely, pseudo-activists seem to have forgiven Kravchenko for the decision on Gongadze’s killer and have recently forgotten about him. Maybe Kravchenko has turned over a new leaf or the integrity standard was changed for him?
