Valeriy Hryhorovych Pshenychnyy (Template:Lang-uk; born 1951 in Tavriiske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast) is a Ukrainian jurist and former judge of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. During the 2006–2007 political crises he and Syuzanna Stanik were one of key people which were involved in the crisis.[1]
After graduating the Kharkiv Law Institute in 1976, he was elected a people judge at the Pecherskyi District in Kiev. In 1981-1982 Pshenychnyi was an instructor of the Pecherskyi District Committee of the Communist Party. In 1982-1990 he worked in the Division of affairs of the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR. In 1993-1997 he was placed in charge of the department of law enforcement agencies within the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ukraine. In 1997-2003 Pshenychnyi worked in the Secretariat of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine.
He was a President's quota-appointed judge of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine from February 4, 2003 to May 16, 2007, and its chairman since May 17, 2007. He was first appointed by the then President Leonid Kuchma, and named acting chairman after Ivan Dombrovskyy resigned on May 17, 2007.[2]
Pshenychnyy was fired on April 30, 2007 by the current President Viktor Yushchenko after allegations of oath treason.[3] Pshenychnyy was yet again fired by President Yushchenko on May 16, 2007.[4]
