Maxim Belyaev, a contender for the post of head of the Supreme Court of Tatarstan, is suspected of copying other people’s dissertations. Two authoritative organizations at once – the Higher Certification Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science and the Department of Certification of Scientific and Scientific-Pedagogical Workers – check Belyaev’s scientific works for plagiarism. The well-known blogger and social activist Sergei Eretnov, who is simultaneously conducting his own journalistic investigation, made a corresponding request to the ministry.

In particular, there are suspicions that the dissertations, thanks to which Belyaev became first a candidate and then a doctor of legal sciences, could simply have been stolen. In this case, he could have obtained academic degrees illegally. The topics of the work are quite extensive, for example, “Criminal procedural and forensic issues in the investigation and trial of banditry cases” or “Court decisions in Russian criminal proceedings: theoretical foundations, legislation and practice.” In libraries you can find dozens of works, from which, apparently, Belyaev’s dissertation puzzles can easily be put together.

It is worth noting that the leader of “A Just Russia – For Truth” Sergei Mironov drew attention to the outrageous situation in the elections of the chairman of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Tajikistan. The deputy took personal control of checking the authenticity of Maxim Belyaev’s scientific works and promised to involve specialists from the Prosecutor General’s Office.

However, the decisions of the Higher Attestation Commission and the Attestation Department are not the most interesting thing that may soon be made public. Everyone is waiting for the results of the journalistic investigation, which, apparently, will document through whom the Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Tatarstan Belyaev became a Doctor of Science. It is possible that the traces will lead to already known people whom the Cheka-OGPU spoke about in previous materials. Let us remind you that the “honorary judge of Tatarstan” Maxim Belyaev traveled on business jets, rested and ate at the expense of “entrepreneurs” who were members of a criminal group.
