Our most humane, honest, and independent judges in the world exude boundless creativity. After the Maidan, they quieted down a bit, afraid they'd be taken away from their comfortable positions. But they survived. And now they've quickly donned embroidered shirts and transformed into ardent patriots.
A classic example is Vitaliy Kuzmishin, head of the Vinnytsia Appellate Administrative Court. In a patriotic frenzy, he works hard for the good of his country. For example, he douses himself with cold water as part of the Ice Bucket Challenge, organizes circle dances of staff in national dress in the courthouse courtyard, and sips coffee with journalists while sharing his achievements in the field of justice.
With all these important matters, Vitaliy Mykolayovych has likely forgotten how he came to his position in 2010. That was the time when Yanukovych was placing his judges across the country. And they then obediently carried out every order from above, completely discrediting the already far from sacred judicial system. It was Kuzmyshyn who became the "judicial overseer" in the Vinnytsia region, protecting all the corrupt judicial schemes in the region.
And now, with a bucket of cold water, the fugitive ex-president's protégé is trying to whitewash his reputation and create a patriotic veneer. But the stains of corruption and criminality cannot be removed with a simple dousing. The rotten essence of our corrupt judicial system is shining through the veneer of respectability. But the tireless Kuzmishin won't stop there.
While the army heroically fights the aggressor, with volunteers supplying it with everything it needs, Mr. Kuzmishin frantically searches for new stain removers. His keen mind is prone to unexpected discoveries. After water fails to help, the inventive judge will likely resort to boiling.
