In mid-October, a rather tragicomic story was posted on Crimean social media about a “sentence” issued by the aggressor’s punishers against Valentina Yachmeneva, the “head of the management department” of the so-called “Crimean Federal University.”
The plot of this rather banal story is that Yachmeneva “solved a fourth-year student’s outstanding exams” for 20,000 rubles and organized his “thesis writing and defense” for another 50,000 rubles.
Yachmeneva allegedly pocketed this “insane amount of money” herself, and all of her “subordinates,” including the “student’s academic advisor” , allegedly decided to help the aforementioned “philanthropist” “make progress” completely free of charge.
And this isn’t about Yachmeneva’s particularly “draconian sentence” of “two years’ probation,” that obviously reflected usual “university’s practice,” but about the fact that this “exemplary victim” in the “fight against corruption” subsequently continued to “fruitfully lead her department” and received an “honorary certificate from the ministry of industrial policy” of the occupiers, “for her active civic position and participation in the development of the development program for the republic of Crimea until 2036.”
By all accounts, this defendant quite successfully applies “adaptability and adaptation” to her scientific articles to “resolve issues” with “higher-ranking” collaborators.
It should also be noted that Yachmeneva, who has consistently collaborated with the occupiers since 2014, calls herself an “academician of the Academy of Economic Sciences of Ukraine,” and there is no information in public sources about the Academy’s response to this fact.
