independence from russia 1919 the first world war has just ended at the paris peace conference the victors established states the new world order american president wilson wisely in his famous 14 points of peoples for self-determination against the background of these epoch-making statements of the baltic states for the caucasus poland, the czech republic, finland-ukraine and other states are given reasons to hope for a just post-war solution to their national aspirations the ukrainian people's republic, which literally rose from ashes declares its independence, the old dream of your parents has come true, the ukrainian people's republic is becoming independent, independent, free the sovereign state of the ukrainian people, the enthusiasm of the ukrainians was in no hurry to divide the great powers of europe and america, this was used by the centuries-old

russian propaganda machine, which tried with all its might that ukraine does not exist, and until the political descendants of lenin came to the conclusion that ukraine was invented by the then russian ministers, the sversky headquarters, not wanting to recognize independence ukraine's bolshevik russia begins a full-scale invasion of ukraine, captures not only the ukrainian east, but also the capital kyiv itself on the eve of the occupation, the head unr simon petliura sends a choir to europe, as in our days, not having sufficient means of proving the war, ukraine understood that the only chance to survive is to win the information war and mobilize the countries of europe in support of ukraine, so petliura, understanding all the threats , began to look for a way to remind the world that ukraine - the first has existed for a long time, and the second is separate from russia, the general public does not know, but the case when the ukrainian president comes from the

cultural sphere is not the know-how of ukraine of the 21st century, simon petlyura, the head of state and commander-in-chief of the ukrainian army publicist, journalist, art critic and reviewer of theater premieres, so it was decided that with one stormy diplomacy, a monisha of conspiracies capable of breaking through all borders of music, simon petlyura summoned the composer and conductor oleksandr koshyts and ordered to assemble a choir within a week in order to find the best choristers, they organized almost the talent show entered the repertoire against the will of the author, and shchedryk, why, contrary to reason, because the composer mykola leontovych was even too strict with himself, a modest music teacher from tulchyn who repeatedly burned he worked on his scores and on the melody of shchedrik for more than 10 years, however, the ukrainian swallow still flew around the world, the first

triumphal concert of the ukrainian republican capella was called the choir of the ukrainian national people's republic, which took place on may 11, 1919 in the capital of czechoslovakia, in addition to shchedrik, other compositions of leontovich were sung, as well as the works of mykola lysenko, kyryll stetsenko, and oleksandr himself košice, but all the listeners from vienna to brussels, from barcelona to paris were in love with the generous man, one of the most beautiful songs of the program was written by the london magazine punch masterpiece of folk art was fond of carols columnist of the brussels newspaper levantien sikle put an end to the viennese mass media the cultural maturity of ukraine should become for the world the legitimization of its political independence the strategy of the sim on petlyura worked in the following years, the ukrainian choir gathers presidents, ministers, academics, professors in the halls of the queen's concern visits 10 countries gives

the regime began. this was the name given to the murders of the ukrainian intelligentsia. simon petliura, who was killed in paris just on the street, and mykola leontovych in 1921, the artist was killed by a russian chekist, his works were declared not relevant for the soviet era and his memory was erased for many decades, and shchedryk, together with the choir of oleksandr koshyts, continued to live. in 1922, he reached the western hemisphere and immediately to of the most prestigious hall in new york, carnegie hall, on the same evening, americans will hear the melody of their future christmas hit for the first time, followed by concerts in more than 100 other american cities, everywhere shchedryk encores, just like in europe, leontovich's carol is not only the course of the tour, but also a symbol of the ukrainian struggle for independence, sing enslaved ukraine, sing chebetushko

, the spring you are waiting for will come, wrote brazilian academician enrique coelho netto after the premiere of "schedrik" in rio de janeiro. however, ukrainians will have to wait a long time for their own spring, because in ukraine russian winter the kremlin authorities continue to destroy the ukrainian intelligentsia, to starve the countryside, to destroy everything that could remind the world of ukraine, but shchedryk reminds us of it in 1936. the american composer and conductor of ukrainian origin, peter wilhovsky, includes shchedryk in the repertoire of his school choir and presents the song on america's most famous radio, mbc, after premieres, american music teachers flood vilhovsky with requests to send shchedryk's sheet music. in november 1936, he publishes the song in the new york music published by karl fischer and calls it carol of the

see this week in the program judicial control with tetyana shustrova a parade of desperadoes as unscrupulous candidates tried to break into the higher judicial authorities, he should not have been confirmed

as one who can administer justice but unfortunately, the higher qualifications commission of judges did not take this conclusion into account. among the candidates for the vrp, he explained the bribe as an innocent joke, such jokes, which are actually about improper benefits and how judges manage to buy valuable property for nothing. congratulations, this is judicial control and i, tatyana shustrova, together with the team. i wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year. do we believe in the victory of our armed forces, or do i? courage and resilience impresses the whole world, and thanks to which for almost six months, you and i have been watching the judicial reform that is taking place in ukraine and is one of the key requirements of our accession to the european union, during this time the competition for the high council of justice has ended, the selection for the higher qualification commission has begun of judges, a number of important laws were passed and

the corrupt district administrative court of kyiv was finally liquidated, summing up the year let's remember those desperate representatives of the old system who tried with all their might to disrupt important transformations for ukraine, trying to get into the renewed judicial bodies, and fortunately they did not succeed for your attention digest judicial control program with the most interesting episodes of 2022 today we will tell you about elena kru she works at the kharkiv court of appeal i want to become a member of the supreme council justice and a very sympathetic drunkard during her judicial career, kruzelina helped avoid punishment for at least 19 drivers who

drove cars while intoxicated , mostly the judge just gives the drivers bail and closes the case, she made a lot of decisions that we overturned the decision of the judge in the first instance to bring to justice drivers who get behind the wheel while intoxicated is causing an actual road accident. she overturned the decision and applied such severe punishments as, for example, handing over to the bail of the labor collective olena kruhilina is so used to this practice that she did not even invent anything special in one of the cases she handed over a drunk driver to the bail of the collective which he himself leads in another she did not deprive driver's license, because apparently

the violator needs a car to perform work and it is not easy. in 2020, she bought a mazda - this is an x5 of the year 2019. for almost a million hryvnias, according to the declaration of the judge and its members families also do not deny themselves expensive purchases in september 2020, the son of the king bought three plots of land in the balaklia district of the kharkiv region with a total area of ​​almost 3,000 square meters for more than uah 60,000 . among her savings, krugelina listed uah 280,000, eur 25,000 and $32,000 in cash. she has two apartments . in kharkiv, beloved in 1995 and 2018, however, the judge did not

indicate their value earlier, the higher qualification commission of judges established that olena kruzelina violated the law during the hearing of the case of her barely were not dismissed for breach of oath due to the fact that they changed the decision of the court of first instance in the case of the road accident and it was about compensation for the damage caused by the road accident and they significantly reduced the amount of compensation later the supreme court canceled such a decision indicating not very significant violations that were committed by the judges of the appeals court and actually on the basis of this, the highest qualification of the commission of judges recommended the release of this action e kruhlelina, but the supreme council of justice refused to do so stanislav yurchenko head of the luhansk swativ district court oblast and he considers himself worthy of the post of a member of the supreme council of justice, although he himself was repeatedly

held accountable by it for violating judicial ethics and even the law in 2012 it was yurchenko who saved from criminal liability the scandalous roman landik, a member of the luhansk city council from the party of regions and the son of former people's deputy volodymyr landik was accused of beating a woman who suffered a concussion. the video from the surveillance cameras clearly shows how roman landik uses defenseless force in a luhansk restaurant. judge yurchenko called it a necessary defense and acquitted the deputy of the region stanislav yurchenko was repeatedly brought to the disciplinary high council of justice, of which he now wants to become a member. for the first time in 2018, when a judge violated the presumption of innocence in his articles in a newspaper, he repeatedly

allowed violations of the rules of judicial ethics , in particular, he published in local newspapers matchmaking information, e.e., the materials were sharply negative about the head of the local water supply to the chief of police and criticized the state geocadastral inspector later it turned out that all the people were conducting an inspection of the land use of the company headed by yurchenko's wife and the disciplinary chamber of the high council of justice brought him to disciplinary responsibility, specifically for the fact that he claimed that these persons committed crimes, although in ukraine there is a presumption of innocence in 2019 the judge was again brought to disciplinary responsibility for the fact that he delayed the consideration of the petition in the criminal case and also forgot to notify in time that the party in this case offered him a bribe, the law sets a deadline

for this at 5 days, yurchenko waited two months and continued to consider the case in explanations to the supreme council of justice, the judge later explained his delay by saying that he allegedly took the offer of a bribe as a joke, but when he was informed of the dismissal, he interpreted it as interference in the activity of the court. of course, what could have influenced the change in the position of this judge, and this , unfortunately, happens repeatedly with ukrainian judges, and such jokes, which are actually about improper profit, about interference in the judicial professional activity and as a result, everything boils down to the fact that the judge allegedly misinterpreted such words. we have already told you about one of the candidates for the high council of justice, the judge

of the vinnytsia district administrative court oleksandr vilchynskyi. what was our surprise when we saw him and in the competition for the higher qualification commission of judges, one can only envy this self -confidence. bodies of judicial power oleksandr vilchynskyi has headed the vinnytsia district administrative court for three terms in a row since 2015, this violates the legislation on the term of holding an administrative position, which stipulates that the seat of the head of the court can be held for no more than two terms, however, oleksandr vilchynskyi is well versed in the tricks

of maneuvering, de jure foundation expert stepan berko explains how many judges managed to circumvent the law, they use various tools to somehow justify their stay in these positions, in particular, for example, prematurely leave this position and then claim that they did not serve the term because that is why espano can once again embrace spain as a wolf, the situation is the same on the eve of a full-scale invasion of the powers of the head of the court and he goes on vacation for a whole month or more, he has time to go abroad, such facts definitely raise questions for some outside observer like this, the head of the court gives himself a vacation for more than a month, and in a strange

way, this vacation coincides. this vacation coincides with the date of the large-scale invasion and this judge is above the border, we do not know whether oleksandr vilchynskyi has plans to sit in the chair of the head of the vinnytsia district administrative court again, but there are already many questions for him. oleksandr vilchynskyi lives in a luxurious estate of his mother with an area of ​​more than 630 m² in the suburbs of vinnytsia , the locals call this district a royal village , many representatives of the vinnytsia elite settled here, in general, the family of oleksandr vilchynsky has a lot of real estate, although he still lives with his mother. in 2017, the judge's wife bought an apartment in the center of kyiv in in the elite pechersk district, accommodation in this building costs from five million hryvnias. vilchynsky claims that his wife bought

the property at least three times cheaper, as soon as the judges manage to do this, the declared value of this apartment is 1.5 million hryvnias. they always manage to buy real estate at very low prices, even this cost is still more than half a million hryvnias higher than the combined declared income of bilchynskyi and his wife for this year already not to mention the money that needs to be invested for repairs or any type of decoration of this apartment, that is, not even taking into account these things

. on booking, you could book this hotel as early as 2019, but in the declarations for both the 19th and 20th years, oleksandr vilchynskyi forgot to indicate it in 2019. meters for only 590,000 uah, and this is at least all times lower than the market value of land in this area. their 23-year-old daughter bought a neighboring plot of land. there is no information about any of her official income that could explain the purchase of a rather expensive plot of land in such and such a such a national point does not have her, meanwhile, the retired mother of oleksandr vilchynsky, in addition to the huge

estate where the judge himself lives, has another smaller one of 245 m². roadside service complex for 530 square meters and two inherited plots of land, as well as according to the data our colleagues from the court publication, as of 2019 , a real fleet of five cars gave one mercedes-benz s-class to the already mentioned granddaughter hanna vilchynska, this is all done in order to avoid the obligation to prove the legality of the origin of the money for which it is all property was bought, but it does not help , because such questions arise, and here is the former head of the vinnytsia district administrative court, oleksandr vilchynskyi , according to declarations for previous years, there is nothing but a car and a motorcycle, although no. what else

good friends of the kyiv administrative court yevhen oblav together with the chairman pavel vovka , he is suspected in a criminal case of usurpation of power, our colleagues from the investigation info filmed how a few years ago oleksandr vilchynskyi came to congratulate ablov on his birthday, he celebrated in the company of a member of the higher qualification commission of judges, volodymyr butenko, a little later during the qualification evaluation of oleksandr vilshynskyi, butenko will be the head of the commission which will, of course, recognize the head of the vinnytsia district administrative court as virtuous and corresponding to the position held by many facts of vilchynskyi’s biography, which contradict this, despite the evaluation of experts and the conclusions

of the public integrity council, he should not have been confirmed as one who can administer justice, but unfortunately, the higher qualification commission of judges did not take into account the composition of the chamber that considered this decision, where he was included in such a mr. butenko, whom vilchynskyi obviously knows because they attended together the birthday of one odious judge, judge ablova, the time of the interview mr. vilchynskyi in no way did not declare that he had any conflict of interest with one of the members of this colleague. this is how this panel actually recognized the jury as meeting the requirements of integrity . now judge oleksandr vilchynskyi wants to be a member of the supreme council of justice and the supreme qualification commission of judges of ukraine . things to participate in the competition, the last

candidate must provide recommendations. cases, in particular, he appears in vovka's tapes, where, if these cells and the investigation are to be believed, in fact, mr. holodniuk appointed persons loyal to judge vovka to the higher qualification commission in exchange for the fact that judge wog pavlo vovk in his district the administrative court of the city of kyiv will block e-e will block the decisions concerning mr. holodnyuk we hope that the competitive commission for the selection of members of the higher qualification commission of judges of ukraine will take into account all the facts of the biography of oleksandr

vilchynskyi that we have mentioned and decide what to do with him fair decision this was the final digest of the judicial control program with the most interesting episodes of 2022. the candidates you saw are fortunately no longer participating in the competition for the supreme council of justice, however, they still have high powers as judges despite a very dubious reputation, large fortunes of unknown origin and a large number of disciplinary proceedings regarding the judicial decisions on them as well as on the judicial reform in general. we will continue to monitor and in the new year, may 2023 bring us victory and much happiness. we will meet in exactly one week
