While Alexei is being held in a special detention center under an unlawful administrative arrest, our investigations team decided to remind everyone that we have not forgotten the subjects of our investigations and continue to follow their fates closely. And sometimes those stories take a completely unexpected (and funny) turn.

We’ve collected so many great stories that we simply couldn’t keep them to ourselves any longer. Today, we’ve put together a real alumni reunion for you, where each of them can brag about their successes — and, of course, share their failures too.

Wouldn’t you like to hear the story of a former minister whose life has turned out very well — just not in Russia, but in France? And the country’s chief patriot will tell us how he is fighting the West from Berlin. We’ll take a look at the seized apartment of the Moscow mayor’s daughter and learn the great story behind his deputy’s sham divorce. We’ll hear from Moscow women officials whom we deprived of their ultra-expensive jewelry. We’ll also read out a greeting from a prominent United Russia politician (United Russia is the ruling pro-Kremlin party) — he can’t deliver it himself, because he’s under house arrest in his palace. And much more!
