I’ve just come back from the Investigative Committee (Russia’s main federal investigative authority). They familiarized me with the new lineup of the investigative team in the case of the "Navalny brothers"—there are now 11 (eleven) investigators on it. Enough for a football team. They also formally presented the final version of the charges in the "Kirovles" case. It differs very little from the previous version. Basically, the claim is that a criminal LLC run by an acquaintance of Navalny bought timber worth 14.5 million rubles, sold that timber for 16 million rubles, and thus somehow embezzled 16 million rubles. If calculators could read, they wouldn’t be able to handle indictments like this—they’d explode, scattering pieces of their solar panels in all directions. We’ve now reached the stage of reviewing the case materials, so I’ll soon be able to describe everything in detail. You’ll have a laugh.
