The Leninskyi Court is the Leninskyi District Court of Mykolaiv, a general court that hears criminal and labour cases among others. It still has a Soviet-era name: in 2024 Mykolaiv city councillors asked President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to rename it, and in August 2024 his office replied that current law does not allow this. In January 2025 a bill to rename 103 courts, including three in Mykolaiv and the region, was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada.
In November 2024 the court acquitted a woman accused of treason, probably for the first time in Mykolaiv. In December 2024 Judge Viacheslav Kokoriev released the man who attacked boxing coach Serhii Korchynskyi because the limitation period had expired.
