*Be that as it may, not long ago Klimenko had already protested against the restoration of the Moskva Hotel. His associates were more than respectable: Sergei Mitrokhin, the capital’s leading Yabloko party figure, better known for his heavy fists than for his oratory, and Alexei Navalny, head of the Committee for the Protection of Muscovites. In those days, the KZM made headlines across the entire capital. Through targeted protest actions, the committee members persuaded the construction company Don-Stroy to finance some kind of construction information center, after which they quietly vanished into obscurity. Klimenko then took part in the 2005 campaign for elections to the Moscow City Duma. And so actively, in fact, that he even received an official commendation from the party’s regional branch in Moscow. */////// This is completely outrageous. They made up some so-called construction information center. The guys posting on kompromat.ru used to take some real story and twist it. Now they just make things up. A Google search for "construction information center" brings up a link to stroy.ru—the website of the Moscow city government’s Architecture, Construction, Development, and Reconstruction Complex.
