Sapete che cos’è questa enorme proprietà al mare nella città di Pesaro? È la villa della famiglia Matvienko. Valentina Matvienko, la capa del Consiglio della Federazione Russa (la camera alta del parlamento). Proprio lei ha firmato il decreto che inizia la guerra con l’Ucraina.
È bellissimo qui, vero? 26 ettari di territorio, 650 metri di costa, la casa di 774 mq. Come ha potuto una funzionaria pubblica permettersi una cosa del genere? Così è organizzata la Russia di Putin: se ti piace Putin avrai tutti i soldi che vuoi.
In teoria, Valentina Matvienko è sotto sanzioni. Ma questo non significa che deve smettere di visitare l’amata Italia? In Russia lei vota delle leggi repressive e poi viene a vivere in Italia. Il proprietario formale della villa è una ditta che non si sa a chi appartiene.
Valentina Matvienko vuole tantissimo che la sua proprietà italiana non sia resa nota al pubblico. Ma ancora di più vuole farci delle ristrutturazioni.
Le informazioni sui lavori in corso si trovano proprio qui, sul cancello. Ecco il nome del committente: Sergei Matvienko, suo figlio. Anche lui (che sorpresa) ha fatto una fortuna rubando dal popolo russo.
E sorge una domanda: perché una famiglia di criminali di guerra russi deve avere rifugio in Italia? L’Italia dà rifugio a degli assassini?
L'Italia dovrebbe mettere tutta la famiglia Matvienko sotto sanzioni. Proibire a loro l’entrata nel paese, chiudere i loro conti, confiscare gli attivi. Questo è quello che vi chiediamo.
Ecco l'elenco dei nomi:
Matvienko Valentina Ivanova (07.04.1949)
Matvienko Sergey Vladimirovich (05.05.1973)
Matvienko Yulia Aleksandrovna (12.05.1983)
E la nostra indagine, naturalmente (con sottotitoli in inglese e italiano). Divertite.

This huge seaside property in the city of Pesaro (🇮🇹) is the villa of the Matvienko family. Valentina Matvienko is the head of the Federation Council (upper house of the Russian Parliament). Valentina's signature stands under the decrees to start the war with Ukraine.
What a beauty, right? 26 hectares of land, 650 metres of coastline, a 774m2 house. Where could a Russian official get the money for this? That's the main secret of Putin's Russia: if you love Putin, money will flow on you like water.
Valentina Matvienko was formally sanctioned. But this doesn't mean that she'll have to stop enjoying to her beloved Italy, right? She adopts repressive laws in Russia, but she likes to live in Europe. The villa is registered to an Italian company whose owner is anonymous.

Yesterday was the eighth day of the trial of Alexei Navalny. The defence finally started presenting its position; a total of five witnesses were questioned. Here’s a short summary of what happened.
The first witness was journalist Yevgenia Albats. She said she donated money to Navalny's various projects every month and felt it was the best investment of her life.
The next witness was Sergei Davidis, a representative of the Memorial Human Rights Centre that was recently shut down by the government. He also said that he had been donating money to Navalny’s projects, including his presidential campaign.

Today was the seventh day of the trial of Alexei Navalny. The sound in the journalists’ room was still horrible, and the live feed from the courtroom cut off completely at times, but here is a chronicle of what we've managed to make out. Image
One of today’s witnesses was Vyacheslav Kuzin, who we expected to see yesterday. He also filed a request to classify his questioning, but also withdrew it today. He refused to answer whether he wrote that request himself and how he sent it, claiming that he couldn't remember it.
Another “victim” in this case, Alexander Karnyukhin, was also present in the courtroom. Unlike Kuzin, he stood by his request to classify his questioning. The prosecutor supported him, claiming that this is a “sacred right of a victim”.

The trial of Alexei Navalny continued after a weekend break. Today was the sixth day. Here is how it went, it was quite spectacular. Thread.
At the start of the day, the press secretary of the court warned everyone that the journalists won’t be able to see a certain part of today’s session. Apparently, some unannounced secret witness was going to testify today.
A screen was installed in the improvised courtroom. Many thought that this was done for one of the witnesses in the fraud case, entrepreneur Vyacheslav Kuzin. He is currently under house arrest for his past banking activities and would need to testify via a video call.

Alright, I'm just going to put it out there: quite honestly, the past 48h have shaken even the most solid Russia-Ukraine war skeptics (like myself). So here’s one more very important side to it: any potential military action of any scale puts Navalny’s life at greatest risk yet.
The danger to Navalny’s life, i.e. the probability of him being killed in prison, will increase exponentially depending on what happens in Ukraine. The odds are pretty bad already, but a full-on Russian invasion barely leaves him any chance to survive. Let me elaborate.
What do we know for sure? We know that Putin tried to kill Navalny and still really wants him dead. We also know that for a year already Navalny has literally been in the hands of the very same people who tried to kill him with Novichok in August 2020.

Я, когда увидела эти фотографии, испытала, наверное, самый широкий спектр эмоций из возможных. Сначала шок. Ты видишь своими глазами то, что представлял в деталях. И вот оно перед тобой. Реальное. Существует.
Потом какая-то потерянность. Неожиданно понимаешь, что воображение твое и все архитектурные планы ничтожны по сравнению с тем, как это выглядит в реальной жизни. ТАКОГО представить было невозможно.
Ну и потом торжество. Не верили в личный стрип клуб дома у Путина? Казалось, что мы перегнули? Ха-ха-ха. Реальность переплюнула любые наши ожидания в разы.
