According to Ukrainian lawyers Roman Titikalo and Ilya Kotin, “Recognizing the guilt of his client Stus (in the denial of guilt the most defendant), the lawyer Medvedchuk violated his professional duty, in fact, refused Stus’s defense, which grossly violated the last’s right to defense in court ” In 1985, a lawyer at the trial of poet Mikola Kuntsevich.
