2,551,200 rubles and 48 kopecks have been raised. Thank you all so much — honestly, I didn’t expect it to take off this quickly. What’s even more astonishing is the number of transactions. 5927 That means thousands of people are sending money. And yet we keep going on about social passivity.
All of this is a major responsibility for me, first and foremost in terms of transparency in how the funds are spent. If there is even the slightest doubt about the procedure or the purposes for which the money is used, that would put a big fat cross over the RosPil project and, more broadly, over the very idea of crowdfunding civic initiatives. So I’m pleased to introduce the oversight group for the "RosPil" project: Rustem Adagamov drugoi Oleg Makarenko olegmakarenko.ru Anton Nosik dolboeb Alexander Plushev plushev These people — many thanks to them for agreeing — will receive the password to our Yandex.Money account and will be able to see absolutely everything that happens there. That way, if they discover that money is being used for undeclared purposes, they can immediately write exposé posts titled "How Navalny skims the money". They themselves will not be able to withdraw any money; that requires a second password, which protects us from strange coincidences: money disappears from the account, and Rustem drugoi is suddenly showing off a brand-new Leica camera. The list of the oversight group is not final; some of the people I asked to join have not yet replied. A reminder: the Yandex.Money account number for donations to the RosPil project is 41001859832724 Full details here.
