As stated yesterday by Rzeczpospolita, the main character of the fresh affair, twin-like to the case of the Warsaw Collegium Humanum, is Heorhij Szkokin – a Ukrainian Nazi, formerly a associate of the National safety Council, known for his anti-Polish and anti-Jewish views. In 2019 he obtained approval to run a private university in Łódź – the School of Social Sciences and safety in Łódź.
The Ukrainian subject of selling fictional diplomas is widening. Heorhij Szkokin founded the alleged Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (MAUP) in Kiev in 1989. The university has been controversial in Ukraine for years for anti-Jewish publications and promoting extremist Ukrainian views related to race. – The university was created in the beginnings of independent education in Ukraine, but rapidly gained an unpleasant image of unprofessionalism and corruption. There were rumors that a diploma could be obtained without studying, paying only tuition “Rzeczpospolita” said an anonymous Ukrainian professor.
In the past, MAUP hosted, among others, erstwhile Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, and parts of “Mein Kampf” and the “Protocols of the Sages of Zion” were published in it without indicating the context of their creation. In 2019 Szkokin and his boy Rostysław took over Trinum Perfectum in Warsaw, which had the approval of the Minister of discipline to run the university in Łódź.
The Łódź facility draws thousands of students from Ukraine. In 2021, 2 499 people learned there, including only 7 Poles. Most of the students graduated in their freshman year. “The aim of the university was not to teach, but to issue formal papers certifying education,” comments Katarzyna Calów-Jaszewska from the National Prosecutor’s Office. These papers were needed to circumvent our regulations and legalize our stay in Poland.
In June 2025, the university's director, Ukrainian Iryna K., was detained by CBA in connection with corruption charges – she was to present at least PLN 200 1000 of bribes to a associate of the Polish Accreditation Commission for affirmative opinions on fresh courses of study. Additionally, she was to accept over PLN 3 million from students for issuing false documents.
The Ukrainian subject of the university scandal is not limited to Łódź. Szczokin's boy continues to run the MAUP in Kiev, and his household was besides active in business in Crimea – including the Korall sanatorium, which after Russia's annexation of the peninsula operated in the Russian registry and obtained contracts from the Moscow authorities for over $2.2 million. Does contact with Russian peculiar forces affect this? It's not clear. There is something else – studying for years has been a gateway to mass influx and legalization of Polish refugees from the “third world”.
We besides recommend: Krakow multi-kulti. 12% of students are immigrants
