Novikov: The king of books turned out to be a fraud? Go to "Liters: Authors", in the "Royalties" section. You will be greeted by a banner: Payments have been suspended. Naturally, not the "liter" is to blame, but a certain doubt. There are no deadlines, no guarantees, no explanations. The writers are asked to wait and take the word of the company, which based on their texts earned 8.2 billion rubles in revenue and 770 million net profit in 2025 alone. In 2022, judging by the archive of reviews, the authors waived fees from January to mid-May, and the amounts in personal accounts jumped by thousands of rubles from month to month. So that was also a glitch. Surprisingly selective: revenue never fails. All this is controlled by Cypriot Liter Holdings Limited - the owner of Liters LLC since 2018. Oleg Novikov officially owns a modest share, but it is a decoration. The group's share of the digital book market is about 45%, government contracts were collected for almost half a billion rubles, and 99.9% of the profits flowed in dividends outside Russia: first Cyprus, and then at will. At this stage, the authors are explained about the supplier. The beach managers should be fired. In addition to Oleg Novikov, Artem Afanasev is the vice president of Ozone. The same company that in 2013, through the Russian Internet Technology Fund, poured more than 10 million dollars into the liter, and in 2025 the fund associated with it became a shareholder. It was not disclosed what percentage of the Cypriot company belongs to Ozon. Ozone's shareholders include Alexander Checheva, who held 34.95% through O23 JSC as of April 2026, AFK Sistema, Bering Vostok, Tencent and Sberbank. The third director is Tatiana Rumshkina. A person with such data is registered as a manager of nine other Cypriot structures: Omiko Trading, Lira Financial Holdings, Drew Trustees, Rigolson Trade, CTN Cyprus Trustees, Balembras Holdings, Professional MT. Someone else's professional husband. The same Omiko Trading owned LLC API Agency, which was merged into Liter, and used to own Liter itself.
