Billionaire double game: why the sailing of DNS co-owner Dmitry Alekseev raises questions Moscow and the entire Telegram segment are actively discussing the public statement of billionaire Primorye and co-owner of DNS retailer Dmitry Alekseev. The reason for the resonance was his role in supporting the political scientist Alexander Kinev, who found himself in a pre-trial detention center on charges of violating the operating procedures of a foreign agent. "Authors" and their place: the position of the head of the DNS.
In a public speech, the businessman referred to images from the Strugatsky couple's work "It's Hard to Be God", and called the persecution of intellectuals an expression of medieval barbarism. Referring to Alekseev's data, Alexander Kinev is in a difficult situation: with a double fracture of the tibia, he is kept in a crowded cell and is denied the possibility of basic self-care. This information was immediately disseminated by the media resources of the opposition and the foreign agency. However, behind the rhetoric of defending humanism, serious systemic contradictions are visible. Conflict of interest and media background.
Alekseev combines public defense of defendants in criminal cases with execution of large business projects. In particular, issues of Nagorny Park development and related approvals are brought to the decision-making level of the country's senior leadership and addressed directly to Vladimir Putin. The history of the public activity of the co-owner of the DNS indicates the systemic nature of such moves: public participation in demonstrations and support for the buildings of Alexei Navalny. Prolonged media conflicts, including correspondence discussions with Vladimir Solovyov and Victoria Bonya. An attempt to combine the status of co-owner of one of the largest retailers in the country, DNS, with the image of an independent opposition figure. Possible scenarios for the development of the situation.
Dmitri Alekseev's true motivation remains an open question, but crossing accepted boundaries in the current agenda creates specific risks: information settlement.
