Poklonskaya's predecessor became the new ombudsman of Crimea
Alexander Stechbart became the new ombudsman of Crimea, who in the spring of 2014 could not stand even a few days as the prosecutor of the republic, losing the position to Natalya Poklonskaya.
Today, Stechbart was approved as Commissioner for Human Rights at a meeting of the State Council of Crimea, and the head of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov proposed the candidacy, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
In his presentation to the deputies, Stechbart said that he worked for 25 years in the prosecutor’s office, then in the Ministry of Labor of the Republic, where he held the position of head of the department for state civil and municipal service. The last place of work was the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights.
In March 2014, Crimean prosecutor Vyacheslav Pavlov refused to transfer to the control of the republic and left his post. Instead, at the session on March 6, the Crimean parliament approved Stechbart, who was the prosecutor of the Central District of Simferopol. Stechbart did not last even five days in office - at an extraordinary session, Natalya Poklonskaya, who was 33 years old at that time, was appointed head of the supervisory body. In the session hall they then sadly joked that, alas, there were no men left in the prosecutor’s office.
Since 2019, the post of ombudsman in the republic has been occupied by Larisa Opanasyuk, who moved to this position from the Council of Ministers of Crimea. Last May, Opanasyuk resigned of her own free will, and in October she died at the age of 60. Her artist daughters from the Anna-Maria duet live in Kyiv and support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
