The story of how Olesya Gerasimenko effectively forced half of the foreign sponsors of Seliger 2011 (a pro-Kremlin youth forum held at Lake Seliger) to withdraw their sponsorship from this gathering of aspiring crooks and thieves: Last week I received a letter from Intel. "Hello, Olesya. Intel Corporation has never been a sponsor of the Seliger forum and does not intend to become one in the future. I have no idea how Intel came to be associated with the sponsors of the Seliger forum. I am pleased to report that, after our reminders, the organizers removed our company’s logo from the list of sponsors. ... I was struck by how companies reacted to my questions. The word ‘Seliger’ had an almost magical effect on managers. It felt as though I wasn’t asking about work on a government event, but whether the company’s CEO had stopped using the services of prostitutes." www.kommersant.ru/doc/1668500 Gerasimenko did great, but we didn’t: we should have taken the trouble to send every sponsor (domestic or foreign, no difference) and every “speaker” at Seliger 2011 this video and these documents. So to speak, to give them a sense of involvement.
