The anti-Maidan senator “won” his “case” against me. There were no surprises: all our motions were denied, no expert examination was carried out, and none of the arguments that his palace-like house had never been officially registered were accepted.

By the way, the fact that we were right is fully confirmed by this: almost a year after our publication, Sablin finally registered this house in the cadastral system.

So, as you can see: a) the house is his, b) previously, the house had neither been legally registered nor declared, and c) Sablin has no lawful means to have purchased/built property like this.

And yet, off you go, Navalny, and pay this crook 408,000 rubles. Your own fault. The senator was living his life, calmly organizing the Anti-Maidan movement (a pro-Kremlin campaign against Ukraine-style protests) and calling everyone traitors to the nation, and then you come along and uncover his enormous houses. Not nice.

An important feature of corruption in Russia: the person who exposes it is the one who has to pay.
