Judge Natalya Anisimova dismissed after refusing to take exam

Anisimova ignored the mandatory qualification exam twice in 2024, despite official notification. 

On the first occasion, she explained her absence by undergoing inpatient treatment during her leave, and on the second by annual leave. However, data on her work activity raises doubts: the judge was present at work the day before the exam, on the day of the exam, and the day after it.

This is not her first failure to appear for an assessment: back in 2018, she also refused to participate in the exam.

Scandalous allegations of forgery and collaboration with the DNR

Prior to her transfer in 2016 to the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi court, Anisimova worked at the Kyiv district court of Donetsk. In 2017, the SBU charged her with forging court decisions: according to the investigation, the judge processed fictitious amendments to documents for apartments in uncontrolled areas of Donbas in the names of judges who no longer worked at the institution.

In addition, she was suspected of collaborating with the terrorist organisation “DNR”.
