The ravings of a convict and the writings of a criminal

3 March 2017

We are collecting press comments from officials and the subjects of our investigation published yesterday. This roundup looks like conclusive proof that under this regime, in any of its possible forms ("liberal" or "hardline") — any real fight against corruption is fundamentally impossible.

Sergei Neverov, leader of the General Council of United Russia (himself a subject of our investigation): Why discuss the ravings of a convicted criminal?

Yevgeny Revenko, State Duma deputy from United Russia:

Ilya Yeliseyev, Medvedev's chief confidant:

Andrei Medvedev, Dmitry Medvedev's cousin:

Natalya Timakova:

So,

First, this is the entire response so far to an investigation that contains facts sufficient to justify the government's immediate resignation and that has already been viewed by more than 2 million people.

Second, as you can see, not a word on the substance. Officials say: Navalny is a criminal, so there is nothing to discuss with him. Medvedev's associates say: it's all false.

That is, not even an attempt to refute the facts: "Medvedev was not on the yacht" or "Usmanov did not give us an estate worth 5 billion rubles." Just: you're lying about everything.

Even in September last year, when we published the first part of our work on the DAR Foundation and Medvedev, they at least tried to comment on the substance.

And do you know why they think they can get away with trying to ignore all of this? Here's the answer:

There is an almost total blackout on this information across all media, even the "semi-free" outlets.

Still, [as Volkov rightly noted](<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="ru">Articles in newspapers about the ACF (Anti-Corruption Foundation) investigation into D.

Thanks to everyone sharing "Dimon". What you're doing matters, and with every link you post, the expressions on the faces of people like Sergei Neverov grow more and more sour.

What needs to be done is clear:
