The court in the Rivne region ordered a man to read “Kaidashev’s family”

In the village of Goshcha in the Rivne region, the court ordered a local resident to read the novel “Kaidashev’s Family” by Ivan Nechuy-Levitsky. A judge gave such a sentence to a man for burglarizing his sister’s house, as evidenced by data in the Unified State Register of Court Decisions.

In court, the sister accused her brother of entering the territory of the house she inherited and stealing things worth more than 6 thousand UAH. The accused insisted that he only took his property.

As stated in the court verdict dated March 28, at the end of May 2023, Vitaly Bondar entered the private territory, tore the lock from a utility building and took from it various accessories totaling 6,641 UAH. The man later broke down the door of the house and took out a plow and a rotator that he said belonged to him. In court, he defended his actions by saying that he learned about his sister’s intention to sell the parental house she had inherited, so he decided to take back her property. He also noticed that he had warned his relative about his arrival.

At the same time, the victim said that he found out about the torn door in the house from a neighbor. The day before, his brother came to the house and said he wanted to get the cart and things. The victim called the police, the accused drove off, but left a threat. According to the woman, her brother began to approach her after her husband was mobilized to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, removing locks, throwing things, writing messages with threats and death wishes.

Judge Petr Tishkun found Vitaly Bondar guilty under the article of theft committed on a large scale or under martial law (Part 4 of Article 185 of the Criminal Code) and imposed a sentence of one year of probation. In addition, the accused must read several works, including Ivan Nechuy-Levitsky’s novel “The Kaydash Family.” The decision can be appealed to the appeals court.

Earlier it was reported that in Odessa a connoisseur of the “Russian world” was ordered by the court to read 10 volumes of Grushevsky.

Before this, the Odessa court ordered two men found guilty of stealing radios from cars to read the works of Taras Shevchenko, Mark Twain and Jack London.
