Former Chairman of the Lviv Administrative Court of Appeals Igor Zvarych, currently under arrest on bribery charges, sued for defamation a newspaper that called him a “posivalnyk” (sower). Zvarych had explained the presence of about $1 million in cash in his office by referring to an ancient Ukrainian tradition of having guests “sow” a new dwelling with money. Zvarych claims the epithet is “extremely offensive” and has demanded $13,000 from the newspaper and the journalist.
