This one concerned Crimea and took place in Lviv. Another verdict took place in Kyiv [read box]. In Lviv, western Ukraine, a 58-year-old former employee of the \u201cMinistry of Industrial Policy of the Republic of Crimea\u201d, the peninsula annexed in 2014 by the Russian Federation, was found guilty of high treason by the Halytskyi District Court.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Tatiana Nezelenikova, 58, was accused of treason because of her work in the occupation government in Crimea. In this position, she introduced restrictions on Ukrainian business in the occupied territory. This was the general direction of Russian policy, and the court assessed that Nezlennikova was one of those who implemented it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his conclusions, prosecutor Oleg Telefanko requested 15 years of imprisonment with the seizure of her property. However, on November 1<sup>st<\/sup>, judge Natalia Zubachyk granted a 12-year term, a minimum sentence for the crime of high treason under Ukraine\u2019s criminal code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the last hearing, the defendant cried:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cI ask the court not to apply such a cruel punishment to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cAnd what to apply?\u201d the judge answered in surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cI ask you to take into account my age and everything. I believe that there is an opportunity to somehow revise something and apply some mitigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cI do not fully understand. What are you asking the court for?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cNot to punish me so severely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cAnd how?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cTo consider the possibility of mitigation. I currently do not understand why I am being punished so severely. I do not understand it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nezelenikova admits no guilt. \u201cI did not carry out any subversive activities, nothing like that,\u201d the defendant told the court. \u201cI just worked to earn a living, to be able to help my retired parents. They needed constant treatment. Last year, both my mother and father were ill. My work was not aimed at carrying out any subversive activities, because it was not related to that. I did not harm the economy of Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nezelenikova was detained in Lviv in April this year. Before Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she came to her hometown of Kamianske, Dnipropetrovsk region, when her father died. After February 24, Nezelenikova could not return to occupied Crimea from Ukraine and tried to find a solution - to flee to Poland from Lviv region, then go to Belarus and Russia. But before she could cross the border, she was detained at Ukrainian customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"During the customs inspection I had a passport of a Russian citizen,\" she confirmed in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\"The only place to earn money\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nezelenikova has lived in Crimea since 1987, long before the annexation, in the capital Simferopol. At first she worked in a design institute as an engineer. Later she worked as a deputy head of the Department of Trade and Consumer Services of the Ministry of Economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Russian authorities took power in 2014, Nezelenikova took the post of deputy head of the \"Ministry of Industrial Policy of the Republic of Crimea\". In the same year, Nezelenikova successfully completed a course at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, she received a medal \u201cfor valiant labour\u201d from the occupation authorities \"for many years of conscientious work, high professionalism and in connection with the Trade Workers Day\u201d. The accused worked in the \"ministry\" until April 2021, and then retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As can be seen from the case materials, Nezelenikova was a member of several established commissions under the \"Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea\". In Nezelenikova's phone, investigators found a photocopy of a letter on the order of the President of the Russian Federation regarding implementation of the \"Russian fairs\" project, which relates to the revival of fair trade. At the same time, other documents were mentioning a ban on the import of Ukrainian goods. As investigators found out, Nezelenikova prepared documents to institute the supply of products from the Russian Federation to annexed Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cI have the right not to testify against myself\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In previous court hearings Nezelenikova repeatedly tried to explain her position to the court, then during her own interrogation she was not very vocal. She exercised the right not to testify against herself and refused to answer the prosecutor's clarifying questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cWhat position did you hold before Crimea was annexed?\u201d the prosecutor asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cDo I have the right not to answer this question?\u201d Nezelenikova replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cDo you think it is right that Crimea was annexed by Russia?\u201d the prosecutor asked again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cThis is not relevant to the case,\u201d said her lawyer, asking the court to remove the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the period from 2017 to 2022, Nezelenikova crossed the border of Ukraine through the temporarily uncontrolled territory 12 times - seven times through the checkpoint in Chongar, and 5 times in Kalanchak in Kherson region. She used a Ukrainian passport to enter, although she also obtained Russian citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cFor what purpose did you receive a Russian passport and when was it?\" the prosecutor asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cI received it in 2014, on April 10, because I lived and worked there, I had a job and a place to live. In Ukraine, I had no job and no place to live,\u201d Nezelenikova replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \"Where did you work when you received a Russian passport?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cIt was the Ministry of Economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cWas it a body of the Russian Federation or of the Ukrainian side?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cI find it difficult to answer this question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cWhat do you mean? Why?\" the judge asked in surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cBecause I can't remember now how all these events went.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cTatiana Vasilyevna, did you work in the \"Ministry of Industrial Policy of the Republic of Crimea?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cYes, I did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cIn what position did you work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cI don't remember now, because there were many reorganizations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cTell me the positions that you remember.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \u201cI have the right not to testify against myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlease tell me, during your work after the occupation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, did you receive any letters, instructions, directives from the Russian Federation bodies, which you fulfilled or were involved in?\" the prosecutor insisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have the right not to testify against myself\u201d, she replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her lawyer asked Nezelenikova to justify herself, in vain. \"Since April 10, 20214, Nezelenikova has been a citizen of the Russian Federation with all rights and obligations, so she cannot be the subject of a crime under the Criminal Code of Ukraine,\" he pleaded. The law provides that one of the grounds for loss of Ukrainian citizenship is voluntary acquisition of citizenship of another state. However, Nezelenikova did not apply for renunciation of Ukrainian citizenship. She and other defector officials in occupied Crimea were once recognized as Russian citizens. But such automatic acquisition is not recognized by Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"I worked because I had to live somehow and do something. Should I quit and sit idle? I worked all my life, to be accused of high treason?\" protested Nezelenikova.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"content-encadre\">\n<p><strong>HIGH TREASON IN KYIV REGION: 15 YEARS FOR A GUILTY PLEA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>By Irina Salhii, our correspondent in Kyiv (<a href=\"https:\/\/sudreporter.org\/zradyv-z-perelyaku-yak-sudyly-zhytelya-sela-peremoha-yakyy-vydav-rosiyanam-terytorial%ca%b9nu-oboronu-prosluhaty\/\">Sudovyi Reporter<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_109158\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-109158\" class=\"wp-image-109158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ukraine_treason-trial-TarasTyshchenko_@Iryna-Salii.jpg\" alt=\"Taras Tyshchenko is in the dock, on trial for high treason in Ukraine.\" width=\"280\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ukraine_treason-trial-TarasTyshchenko_@Iryna-Salii.jpg 472w, https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ukraine_treason-trial-TarasTyshchenko_@Iryna-Salii-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-109158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"article-imageCaption\">Taras Tyshchenko was given a 15-year prison sentence by a Kiev district court for showing Russians the residence of members of the Ukrainian territorial defence. \u00a9 Iryna Salii<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p>On November 3, in another high treason case that was held in Kyiv in the Solomyansky District Court, Taras Tyshchenko, a 42-year-old resident of the village of Peremoha, east of the capital city, was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Tyshchenko recognized that during the occupation, he showed to Russians the residence of members of the territorial defence, among whom luckily no one was killed. \"I believe that he is sincerely repentant.
