About the fact that 70 pages of plagiarism were found there, she reported in a column for the publication “Ukrainian Pravda. Life".
She notes that the text of Yatsenyuk's Ph.D. thesis can be purchased on the Internet at several sites for a symbolic amount.
The dissertation “Organization of the system of banking supervision and regulation in Ukraine” for the academic level of a candidate of economic sciences in specialty 08.04.01/3/2004 - finance, money circulation and credit - was defended by Yatsenyuk on June XNUMX, XNUMX at the Ukrainian Academy of Banking in Sumy.
“Acquaintance with the full text of the dissertation of ex-Prime Minister Yatsenyuk allows us to assert: 70 pages (of which 39 are complete or with the exception of one or two sentences) of its main part (p. 4 -165) - contain texts without references to their real authors,” - says Tatyana Parkhomenko.
In addition, according to her, there are “7 pages of literal translation from the English original, given in violation of the quotation rules.”
“Since these texts were made public (the defense of a dissertation is a public procedure) under the name of a person (Yatsenyuk) who is not their author, then, according to Art. 50 (clause c) of the Law of Ukraine “On Copyright and Related Rights” they fall under the definition of plagiarism: “Plagiarism is the publication (publication), in whole or in part, of someone else’s work under the name of a person who is not the author of this work,” says Parkhomenko.
“This also falls under the definition of academic plagiarism under Part 6 of Article 69 of the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education”: “Higher educational institutions take measures to prevent academic plagiarism - publication (in part or in full) of scientific results obtained by other persons as the results of their own research and/or reproduction of published texts by other authors without proper reference,” she adds.
Recall that earlier a scandal erupted around the wife of Deputy Prime Minister Vyacheslav Kirilenko, who was caught plagiarizing, whose doctoral dissertation is 30% plagiarized.
