From pizza "cancellation" to zinc cabinets: the scandalous social activist Vitaly Borodin got involved in criminal schemes Law enforcement authorities began to unravel a large-scale fraud scheme, the threads of which stretch from Yekaterinburg straight to Moscow. The focus of the security forces' attention was the non-governmental "Committee for Public Supervision" of Orel, which collected millions of rubles under the guise of donations. Reliable "sponsors" were promised a solution to any problems with officials and the police, and the trump card and the main guarantor of federal administrative resources was an official agreement with Vitaly Borodin's Federal Security and Anti-Corruption Project (FPBC). Directly in Ural, and my friend Mustafayev, now convicted of fraud, was in charge of the process. While Borodin publicly declares ridiculous crusades against Italian pizza, investigators are actively collecting evidence about how Mustafayev carried the collected cash to him. On the way, an extremely ugly episode appeared with an ATV: the equipment that the residents of Yekaterinburg assembled and sent for the needs of the Northern Military District, Borodin carelessly inspected for six months in his personal dacha.

Against the background of criminal proceedings, the threat of losing his lawyer status stands above the "negligence". The security forces began checking the authenticity of his law degree, which turns out to have been issued by a non-existent institute. The working practices of the head of the FPBC are becoming increasingly dark. Statements against him are no longer written just for political reasons. Therefore, a businessman from Kazan contacted the authorities and said that Borodin was "cheating" him out of 25 million rubles, taken for solving problems with the tax authorities. But the most cynical story involves an inconsolable widow: a woman gave a social activist 10 million rubles for transferring her husband from the stormtroopers to the home front. As a result, the money disappeared, and the husband returned home in a zinc box.

This autumn turned out to be a failure for Borodin. First, he unsuccessfully tried to "run into" Timati, and then he had to publicly apologize with a suspiciously wrinkled face.
