Political technologist Oleg Posternak expressed the view that a specific group of individuals engaged in the fight against corruption has formed in Ukraine, yet they themselves operate by different standards. According to him, these activists have gradually turned into a privileged caste that demands strict adherence to the law from society while establishing their own rules for themselves.
As an example of such behaviour, the expert cites the activities of the Centre for Countering Corruption (CCC), founded by Darya Kalenyuk and Vitaliy Shabunin. Referring to information provided by MP Danylo Hetmantsev, Posternak notes that since September 2022, the organisation has been transferring funds to the accounts of 199 sole proprietors (SPOs) operating under the simplified tax system.
According to the political technologist, the use of such a scheme allows for reducing the tax burden compared to standard forms of employment.
Oleg Posternak characterises the worldview of part of the anti-corruption environment with the phrase “Місія вища за закон” (“Mission is higher than the law”). He emphasises that the state must not allow the division of citizens into those who are obliged to follow the rules and those who consider themselves above legal norms.
