At this point, I can’t even be bothered to write about the shamelessness, the lawlessness, blah blah.
The FSB is working together with NTV, and it’s impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins, blah blah. Everyone already understands perfectly well what’s going on.
The security services and the Presidential Administration have hired some kind of scum (see below) who are supposedly either reporters or operatives. These lowlifes have been given access to wiretaps and all the other operational data, even though that is, in fact, classified state information.
When they seized this poster during the search—the one that had been hanging on a fence near the train station in Vladimir (which the Investigative Committee calls a “painting,” and on TV they even said it was “an artist’s canvas displayed at an exhibition on the city’s central street”)—I thought it was some kind of particularly twisted joke from Bastrykin. Like, they were just showing off and having a laugh. They saw on Instagram that someone had given you a poster, so now they’d take it away and hang it on their own wall. Turns out the plan was even more hellish.
If you haven’t read it yet, read it here:
On the night of June 20, searches were carried out at Alexei Navalny’s home. As it turned out, investigators were looking for a drawing called “The Bad and the Good Man,” created by a street sweeper from Vladimir named Sergei Sotov. In his spare time, Sotov hangs his drawings on fences, and apparently someone took one of them down and gave it to Navalny. Investigators broke into Navalny’s apartment at 4 a.m. and announced that a criminal case had been opened over the “theft of a painting.” After that, Sotov himself disappeared somewhere and gave no comments to anyone.
However, The Insider obtained a video recording sent to the editors by Anonymous International. In the recording, Sotov explains that his drawings are constantly taken down from fences, that this does not upset him, and that he has never gone to the police about it and has no intention of doing so. ...
According to representatives of Anonymous International, this recording appeared online as early as June 19 (that is, before the search of Navalny’s home), and the people speaking with Sotov in the video are individuals close to Artur Omarov. Omarov built his career in the radical wing of the Nashi movement called Stal (a pro-Kremlin youth movement), which had already found itself at the center of numerous scandals—including, for example, the fact that Stal’s manifesto turned out to be a verbatim quotation of Goebbels’s “Ten Commandments of National Socialism.” This faithful disciple of Goebbels remains highly active today: he has become one of the leaders of the new Kremlin-backed movement Set (“Network”), which has also already been embroiled in scandal. According to representatives of Anonymous International, it was precisely the intervention of Artur Omarov’s people that finally forced the street sweeper Sotov to file a complaint about the “theft of a painting”.
And of course, compare these two videos. What really happened:
And in NTV’s “creative reinterpretation”:

I’m writing this mainly to send some support to the staff of the ACF (Anti-Corruption Foundation), who, judging by everything, are the real target of this filth.
The lawyers told me how everyone is preparing for searches. It’s all very sad and unpleasant, of course, but the picture is oddly touching: I can just imagine the girls from our foundation going from apartment to apartment thinking, “Damn, there’s going to be a search soon, we need to hide everything—we just don’t know what exactly, or why.”
We’ll get through all of this, and everything will be fine.
Judging by how badly the so-called “simple miner and dacha owner” Neverov lost it, the reason for this provocation was, of course, the outrage of the Sosny dacha cooperative.
