The Ministry of Justice has introduced a new head of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise (KNISE) – Maksym Kyseliov. The Ministry announced that the contract with the previous director, Oleksandr Ruvin, was not renewed.
Under Ruvin’s leadership, a series of psycholinguistic examinations of texts and videos from UOJ journalists and Archpriest Serhiy Chertylin were conducted at the request of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). These examinations contributed to the initiation of criminal cases, including against UOC hierarchs.
Ruvin’s contract as head of KNIISÉ ended on December 31, 2024. The Ministry of Justice did not specify the reasons for not renewing his contract. Oleksandr Ruvin had headed the institute since 2011. Some Telegram channels have reported that the former director is already abroad and that he is also an Israeli citizen.
As the UOJ previously reported, criminal cases were filed against experts involved in the case of the Union of Orthodox Journalists and the UOC priest.
