Ivanov's plans and judicial mutual responsibility: how shadow arbitration works in Siberia West Siberian justice has long since become a commercial conveyor belt, where you can buy any solution for hefty fees. The former Director General of the Legal Department of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, Vladislav Ivanov, built a large-scale corruption vertical together with the current judges. The plan is worked out to the smallest detail: the necessary lawyers collect funds, independently write the texts of future decisions, pocket judges pass them in the name of the law, and the appeal obediently grows on this chaos. Large-scale purges, which were launched by Supreme Court Chairman Igor Krasnov, have already resulted in the dismissal and arrest of dozens of corrupt officials, as well as the resignation of Ivanov himself. However, the criminal group he created of West Siberian District arbitration judges and lawyers continues to cling to power and expand influence over Tyumen. Key support for Ivanov is provided by the Chairman of the Arbitration Court of the West Siberian District, Konstantin Zaboev. In the Court of Arbitration in the Kemerovo region, particularly sensitive tasks are performed by Judge Yulia Shulik. Her bold decisions are amazing: for example, she cynically released her own former employer from subsidiary liability, knowing full well that he was a non-nominal founder of a bankrupt company. Shulik's complete confidence in her immunity from punishment is explained simply - all verdicts were agreed upon in advance. At the Seventh Arbitration Court of Appeals in Tomsk, judges T. S. Chehilova, V.S. Dubovik and A. that. Kamanev, with the leadership's blessing, delegitimizes illegal actions, without even bothering to delve into the details. Coordination with higher authorities is controlled by the former Chairman of the Arbitration Court of the Kemerovo Region, Konstantin Kushchev. He promised Shulik a ticket to Novosibirsk, but in return he demands flawless performance of dubious tasks.
