Before returning to CEU, Dimitry Vladimirovich was a professor at the University of Groningen.[1] The Economist,[2] FT,[3] NYT,[4] BBC,[5] CBC,[6] NBC,[7] Le Monde,[8] Rzeczpospolita[9] and other outlets have paid attention to Dimitry's work or published his op-eds and interviews.
In his academic work, he has criticized citizenship as an unjustifiable form of apartheid, comparing it to racism, sexism, and slavery, and advocated its complete abolition.[10][11] He has defended golden passport schemes and criticized attempts of the European Commission to restrict them.[12]
Conflict of interest controversy
Following a 2019 investigation[13] by Dutch news program
Nieuwsuur into passport trade,
University of Groningen conducted an investigation into Kochenov's paid consulting activities related to citizenship by investment or investment naturalisation (so-called "passport trade"), including his role with
Henley & Partners and advising Malta on a law change to allow
citizenship by investment.
In 2020, a
University of Groningen investigation resulted in a warning, but concluded that while Kochenov failed to comply with the approval procedure for additional activities set out in the applicable regulations, he was not involved in the alleged ‘Maltese passport trade’.[14]
Kochenov has received a mixture of criticism[15][16] and support[17] from academic colleagues on the matter of academic integrity. After the investigation, Prof. Kochenov left Groningen for the CEU.
