“Yep, the Ukrainian courts aren’t known for rule of law.”
Neither are the Soviet courts with their show trials. Case in point of Alexei Navalny. Cited for contempt of court but not allowed to see the transcript of whatever it was he was accused of saying. Cited for fraud over imaginary accounting problems. etc.
His real crime was being popular enough that he could have unseated Podonok Putin in a fair election.
The only bad thing about Navalny is that it was getting away with his doings quite lightly for too long.
Everybody with legal background who is going to dig into his cases knows that he is guilty as sin.
He is that corrupt politicians his organization is screaming about except his crimes are blatant and his bitching about Putin’s crimes aren’t based on any evidence.
