Nine Circles of Plagiarism
On the site Dead Lawyers an article by Dima Hadomsky was published, "Plagiarism in Mykhailo Zhernakov’s Dissertation." It turns out our monopolists of integrity are not entirely academically sterile either.
This article can provoke many emotions: outrage, joy, anger, curiosity.
But it cannot provoke one emotion — surprise.
Everyone understands how the system of writing and defending dissertations works. If you haven't spent all that time under a rock, the only surprising thing can be the absence of plagiarism, not the opposite.
Everyone also understands how most undergraduate and term papers are written. How “scientific” articles are prepared and published.
I would abandon illusions: it seems a significant number of law degrees are issued entirely without justification. So the problem of dissertations in our overall collapse of education and science looks like a first-world problem.
