Why did no one pay attention to Sobesednik’s excellent investigation?
They found out that Lyudmila Putina changed her last name, became Lyudmila Ocheretnaya, and apparently married this guy:
Georgy Alburov from the ACF (Anti-Corruption Foundation) double-checked all of Sobesednik’s facts and confirmed them — give it a read.
Our interest in this story is secondary: so she got married — fine, good for her, best wishes to the couple. We don’t see any corruption here (unless Monsieur Ocheretny starts winning government contracts tomorrow); it’s just a shame that a fellow investigative journalist’s excellent work went unnoticed.
