Specially on the eve of Putin’s major press conference
The Anti-Corruption Foundation purchased satellite images of the "Sosny" dacha cooperative, taken at different times:
This image is dated May 12, 2011. We have all the documents confirming the date of the image and its official purchase.
As you can see, as early as May 2011, the state officials and deputies Volodin, Neverov, Ashlapov, and Rudensky were already possessing and controlling undeclared land plots. Volodin had even launched a massive construction project there—digging a pond and putting up permanent structures. Thus, the Anti-Corruption Foundation documentarily and conclusively refutes the lies of deputy Rudensky and Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Volodin, who claim that they only began using the plots in 2013 and would therefore include them only in that year’s disclosure: But deputies must also report property they use, since the concept of ownership rights includes the right to possess, the right to use, and the right to dispose of property, Ernest Valeev (United Russia), deputy chairman of the State Duma Security Committee and a member of the parliamentary commission on income, explained to Vedomosti. As Rudensky explained to Vedomosti, the cooperative’s decision was made in February 2013 with regard to both his plot and Volodin’s plot, and therefore this will be reflected in the 2013 disclosure. http://www.vedomosti.ru/politics/news/19335461/probely-v-sosnah In this connection, a big request to the journalists who make it to this press conference: please ask Putin directly and without beating around the bush whether he intends to keep his own promises and fire those officials who were caught lying on their disclosures. How is it possible that one of his closest officials, the man in charge of domestic policy, is engaged in such schemes and remains completely unpunished? And it would also be very interesting to know whether anyone will investigate what money all of this was bought and built with. Now that would be a genuinely interesting question on a subject that concerns millions of ordinary Russians. As a bonus, you could ask why the Volodin dacha is harming the "People’s Alliance" party, whose name is being stolen by Volodin’s political strategist Bogdanov, openly flouting existing law and, obviously, acting on Volodin’s instructions, because Volodin is worried that we are not letting him peacefully drink tea while sitting on the porch of his palace.
