Liars, hypocrites, propagandists—these are the true foundation of this regime, not the National Guard (Rosgvardiya) or Pamfilova with her election fraud.
TV hosts, talk show regulars, and producers with their neat little haircuts—these are the worst people in the country, and they have done more than anyone to turn Russia into a backward third-world state. And yet every New Year, the May holidays, and in August, they make sure to go abroad, where they sigh, “How wonderful Europe is,” and sip coffee from tiny little cups.
We made this video because you so often hear people talking about how hard this all is on them deep down. They’re forced to lie. The poor things do it because television is their profession, and they don’t know how to do anything else. They can’t be expected to starve, can they?
Remember, a while back there was even a joke going around: is it true that Ekaterina Andreyeva gets drunk after every broadcast?
Well, here’s what we want to show: no, they do not get drunk after the show (unless it’s champagne in celebration), they are not starving, not suffering, not agonizing over any of it.
They live wonderful lives and make more money than they could ever earn in that same West they love to denounce.
Of course, people “in the scene” already know all this. But we want to tell—and more importantly, show—the wider public.
So I’m asking you very much to help us spread this video.
Meet our first star—you all love him so much. We’re turning the spotlight on Vladimir Solovyov. A great deal has already been written and said about his property; we’re not revealing anything radically new, but for the first time we’re showing it all and attaching the documents.
One of the most deceitful and brazen propagandists around. He lies with a kind of swagger, completely unashamed to reverse his position by 180 degrees as if that were perfectly normal.
At heart he is essentially talentless, and back when television still had competition, he ranked as a third-rate host.
But in the age of censorship, he flourished. And became very, VERY rich.
We estimate the minimum size of Solovyov’s fortune at 1 billion rubles (about US$11 million at recent exchange rates). And that is only what he cannot possibly hide and what is documented. I think that if you add the money in Russian and foreign bank accounts, plus the cash in a suitcase under the bed, you’d have to double that figure.
So.
The first major piece of real estate for this disgusting crook was bought by you and me. Novaya Gazeta published a document showing that Moscow City Hall selected a 160-square-meter apartment for him in a luxury building on Dolgorukovskaya Street and sold it to him for 2.5 million rubles. At the time, the minimum market price for an apartment like that was 13 million rubles. The story is fairly well known; I myself wrote about it extensively.
And for that, by the way, we will put both Solovyov and the officials who gave him that apartment in the dock. It is straightforward theft.
Then our boy buys two more apartments (record and record) in the same building, increasing his luxury property holdings there to 450 square meters. The current value of this real estate is 250 million rubles.
And here we arrive at the item titled “why ACF staff need their eye doctors paid for.” BECAUSE OUR EYES ARE BLEEDING.
Because we filmed Solovyov’s country house near Peredelkino, and it was clearly built to his own design—because it is the ugliest building ACF has ever filmed.
But it’s enormous: 1,046 square meters. And it costs a fortune. There’s plenty of land too—60 sotkas, or 0.6 hectares (about 1.5 acres). Judging by similar houses nearby, it’s worth around 400 million rubles.
Anyone who wants to can examine all the records for Vladimir Rudolfovich’s Russian real estate here. The official documents for the apartments, the country house, and the land are all there.
Bene, ammetti, stai aspettando questo. Of course. We’re going to show it to you. Babene.
Here it is, his precious.
Solovyov’s famous villa on Lake Como. He didn’t build it, he just bought it, which is why the villa is actually beautiful. On screen for the first time.
It was originally registered to an American company belonging to our fervent patriot, but later he transferred it into his own name.
And now, as item 5-bis—the cherry on top.
Do you know what this is?
An Italian residency registration. A certificate of Italian residence issued by the local municipality. While the whole country sits there open-mouthed watching Solovyov’s show, where he appears in a black uniform railing against the decadent West and fawning over Putin, our hero quietly—sideways, inch by inch—went and registered himself as a resident of Italy. It’s not citizenship and not a residence permit, but legally it amounts to saying: folks, I live here, on your Lake Como. This is my permanent place of residence.
Lies about Russia are being paid for, out of Russian citizens’ pockets, to an Italian resident.
What irony, signori.
We made this video. Now it’s your part of the job, friends. Help spread it, and start by showing it to every member of your family who still watches television. It will do them good to know.
Ciao!
