The Department of Social Policy of the Kherson City Council will pay slightly more than 482 thousand hryvnias for psychologist services as part of the implementation of the Program for perpetrators.
This is stated in the contract published on Prozorro.
Services worth 482 200 UAH will be provided by Olga Furman. They, in the amount of 536 hours of individual sessions, are to be provided by December 31, 2026 as part of the implementation of the Program for perpetrators.
The process, as follows from the contract, of providing the service begins with a diagnosis of the perpetrator’s psycho-emotional state, on the basis of which an individual plan-schedule for further work is drawn up. The main stage involves conducting sessions in individual and group formats, accompanied by the preparation of necessary documentation, including reports and conclusions. The program concludes with a final diagnosis to assess the results of the corrective work.
Olga Furman – a Kherson resident. She works at the Kherson Regional Clinical Hospital.
She graduated from Kherson State University.
In her own Facebook profile it says that Furman – “crisis psychologist, MAC specialist (metaphoric associative cards, – MOST), host of T-games (transformational games, – MOST)“.
In October of last year she already received almost 500 thousand hryvnias for similar services.
Interestingly, two years ago Olga Furman herself was tried for… domestic violence. In the summer of 2024, after an argument with her daughter, she did not let her into the house.
Law enforcement drew up an administrative protocol, as they believed that Furman had committed domestic violence of an economic and psychological nature.
But at the court hearing she contested the circumstances stated in the protocol, noting that she and her daughter did have a conflict, but there was no domestic violence against her daughter on her part.
The daughter stated at the court hearing that they had quarreled with her mother on a household level, there were no insults from the latter, she was in the wrong in the situation that occurred, and she had drawn conclusions about her own behavior.
The court ruled that the circumstances of the administrative offense specified in the protocol were not confirmed and acquitted the physician.
In 2016 Olga Furman received her first administrative protocol. On September 6, 2016, an administrative offense protocol was submitted to a judge of the Kherson City Court, from which it was evident that in August Furman did not comply with the lawful requirements of police officers and engaged in physical resistance, did not respond to the lawful demand of patrol police officers to stop the offense, namely grabbing at their uniform clothing, provoking a fight, thereby committing malicious disobedience.
But she managed to avoid punishment because Olga Furman did not appear in court.
According to current legislation on administrative offenses, the case must be forwarded to the court for consideration with ensuring the attendance of the offender. The court decided that the offender’s attendance at court had not been ensured and the materials were sent back to the police.
Judging by the fact that there are no mentions of further decisions in the court register, the police did nothing further.
