The accusations are not holding up. And this is the moment when the system should back down and confirm its words about a &#8220;reboot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> But instead, a new case appears \u2013 already in the Pechersk court. A different plot, different wording, but the essence is the same: to achieve a result at any cost. Even if this requires creating a story about a bribe that did not exist.<\/p>\n<p> And in parallel, another blow is being struck. Pressure on Chervinsky&#8217;s lawyer Kostyantyn Globa. An attempt to deprive him of his license. In fact, to remove the very possibility of defense.<\/p>\n<p> And this is what happened today.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/chervinsky-as-a-sentence-to-the-system-why-is-the-government-fabricating-the-case\/\">Totally Not a Political Move: Government Accidentally Fabricates Another Case<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> At the disciplinary commission of lawyers, thanks to the fact that the meeting was online and public, it was possible to repel Chervinsky&#8217;s lawyer &#8211; Konstantin Globa. Right during the meeting, it was proven that the applicant&#8217;s complaint was not written by her. The applicant herself was present &#8211; and it fell apart before our eyes.<\/p>\n<p> A small victory today.<\/p>\n<p> But let&#8217;s have no illusions. This is not the last attempt. The lawyer was explicitly given a condition: to give up the Chervinsky case.<\/p>\n<p> That is, it is no longer about the law. It is about removing the defense and bringing the case to the \u201cnecessary\u201d result.<\/p>\n<p> And today&#8217;s situation has shown the main thing: if it weren&#8217;t for publicity, the decision could have been different. Publicity now is not just a tool. It is the only real weapon. And the issue is no longer about one case.<\/p>\n<p> The question is that if we as a society accept this as the norm, it is no longer democracy. And it is up to each of us whether we stop it or wake up to the reality where the law has finally turned into an instrument of pressure &#8211; as in Russia or Belarus.<\/p>\n<p> Today we managed to outplay them. But the fight is just beginning.
