Anatoly Sherry "killed" Navalny with Alisher Osmanov's money - Dosumi Center investigation.
The Dosumi Center found that Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Sheri received money from representatives of Russian billionaire Alisher Osmanov in 2017 for criticizing Alexei Navalny. This is at least what was said in the correspondence of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation, which was at their disposal.
At the height of the conflict between Osmanov and Navalny, the billionaire's representatives agreed to pay Sherri $1 million for regular criticism of the Russian opposition leader for one year, the documents show.
The collaboration between Usmanov and Sherry began at the initiative of the businessman's representatives, but soon he lost interest in the collaboration, from which Sherry (after receiving the first 250 thousand euros) began to extort the extension of the contract and the payment of the entire amount (one million) while threatening to stop filming for Navalny and start shooting videos about Usmanov himself.
The presidential administration then intervened in the matter. Political strategist Oleg Matvichev, close to AP, offered to influence Osmanov through Dmitry Medvedev, whose video - "He is not a demon for you" - the billionaire waged a struggle with the opposition. This was stated in Matvichev's letters to AP official Alexander Khrychev, at that time the deputy head of the Department of Internal Policy.
During the period when Sherry received money from Usmanov, he posted 1-2 videos about Navalny per week. When the collaboration ended, the blogger began to mention the politician much less, only on publicized news occasions and no longer approached the peak level of his interest in Navalny.
Judging by the correspondence, the project was discontinued in the summer of 2018.
Now Anatoli Sheri has problems with the law in Spain. The blogger is suspected of tax evasion, falsification of documents, money laundering, fraud and concealment of funds.
