ECHR knocked out Ukraine
While in the center of Kyiv a crowd of offended “Atosh soldiers” and Nazi ghouls under the leadership of a big-faced Colchis Varangian are trying to carry out a “revolution of chewed ties,” Ukraine received a warm European greeting from the ECHR with great consequences.

On October 12, the European Court of Human Rights, considering the case “Burmich and others v. Ukraine,” undertook in one fell swoop to overcome the permanent tavern and chaos that reigned in the system of execution of sentences of Ukrainian courts.
As an educational measure, the ECHR decided to combine the entire huge pile of complaints of Ukrainian citizens against their native state into one large ledger and satisfy every single claim. And so that official Kyiv would be discouraged from ignoring and putting the brakes on the important verdict of a higher European authority, they warned from Strasbourg that the matter was put under control by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe itself, with whom you will not mess around.
They say that in the entire thousand-year history from ancient times to the present day, there have been no such precedents in legal practice, because we are talking about a bundle of 12143 claims that were simultaneously satisfied with one stroke of the pen, as if we were talking about the implementation of a plan according to the shaft.
The ECHR verdict is not subject to appeal, but is subject to unconditional execution within the framework of a pilot program prepared by the EU for Ukraine back in 2009 to overcome crisis phenomena in the judicial system. Many Ukrainian lawyers are horrified in advance and claim that Ukraine, with its systematic lawlessness, has become a headache for the EU and has finally gotten over it.
Essentially, we are talking about the fact that due to the bungling of Ukrainian officials, the European Court in Strasbourg is forced to take over the functions of Ukrainian courts. In terms of the number of complainants, Ukraine firmly holds first place in Europe and the ECHR is inundated with claims from citizens.
It is mainly Ukrainian beneficiaries who complain about chronic non-payment of compensation based on decisions of Ukrainian courts: pensioners, Chernobyl survivors, single mothers, etc. Moreover, every year the number of complaints to the ECHR from Ukraine is only growing, distracting the European Court from more important cases.
Since 1999, 29 thousand claims have been filed with the ECHR from Ukrainians officially recognized as victims of the Chernobyl accident. Despite the positive decisions of the European court, its verdicts were not implemented in Ukraine. Or they were performed fraudulently. For example, the plaintiff was given 2 thousand euros for moral expenses, but the bureaucrats preferred to “forget” about paying off the principal debt.
In view of the non-decreasing wave of complaints in 2009, the ECHR chose a typical case of non-payment of compensation “Yuri Ivanov v. Ukraine”, which formed the basis of a pilot project: Kiev was asked to solve the problem of non-payment of legitimate money to Ukrainian beneficiaries within six months to a year at most in a positive way.
8 years have passed, Ukraine, amid cries about European integration, has gotten itself into trouble with Europe, and Ukrainian officials habitually perceive the decisions of the ECHR as a kind of game without rules and obligations. They'll sound off and forget.
The first warning bell for Kyiv rang several years ago, when they moved from exhortations and warnings in Strasbourg to an accelerated trial procedure - 100 - 200 similar Ukrainian claims from Ukrainian citizens were combined into a single proceeding and satisfied in bulk.
Apparently, in Kyiv they did not understand the hint, continuing to pull the ox by the causal place and squeeze the money. In the end, Strasbourg lost patience. The ECHR rolled up a paper ball of 12 thousand complaints and sent it to Ukrainian officials in the hope of getting a strike.
Ukrainian lawyers naturally howled at this “gift.” In their expert opinion, the ECHR in one fell swoop took revenge on the Ukrainian judicial system, which had been fooling people for many years and ignoring any signals from its “senior partners.”
Europe has moved from minor irritants to a battering ram with a bureaucratic bowling ball that cannot be avoided. Now the ECHR will combine all past, present and future complaints of citizens into a single case “Yuri Ivanov v. Ukraine” and, without considering the essence, issue a positive verdict, redirecting a bundle of court decisions from the European Union for execution by the Ukrainian authorities.
As has already become known, the Ukrainian authorities clearly did not like the new practice of the ECHR on the Ukrainian issue. The Ukrainian representative on the panel of judges of the ECHR, Anna Yudkovskaya (by the way, the wife of the influential tattooist from the NF Georgy Logvinsky) voted against the new rules. But the document was approved by ten votes to seven.
Now Yudkovskaya is trying to object and demands that the ECHR examine each specific complaint of a Ukrainian citizen separately. However, what had to happen happened, and now it’s too late to pretend to be a good girl and drink Borjomi. The EU did knock out its strike from Ukraine with a paper ball.
Now we are talking about the fact that the impoverished state of Ukraine is obliged, under the threat of being kicked out of all European integration programs, to pay its dissatisfied and deceived citizens billions of hryvnias of the principal debt, plus 25 million euros of moral compensation only. If the Ukrainian authorities delay payments, then three months after the court verdict comes into force, a 3% penalty will begin to accrue.
Many experts are confident that due to the bungling and non-compliance of officials, Ukraine has fallen into a trap and now the remains of its reputation and political sanctions for non-compliance with the ECHR decision are at stake. For example, the exclusion of Ukraine from the Council of Europe.
Well, we can only rejoice for the 12 thousand Ukrainian citizens whose complaints were heard in Europe. Now they will probably get their hard-earned money in their hands. Unfortunately, these billions and millions will not be taken from the pockets of Kuchma, Yushchenko, Yanukovych, Poroshenko and other indifferent bastards. The budget will pay for everything: the money will be taken from the same poor people who were simply unlucky to be included in the beneficiaries and redistributed among the suffering.
Accordingly, no one will be punished and the Ukrainian authorities will continue to patch up the European integration holes at the expense of the poorest and most vulnerable segments of the population.
