⚡️⚡️⚡️Putin's yacht has been launched into the water. The picture on the left shows the Scheherazade being stored in the dry dock at Marina di Carrara this summer. The picture on the right depicts the same dry dock, now empty. Image
After stern extension works have been completed (as if 140 meters weren't enough), the Scheherazade is now afloat. Some interior refurbishments have also been undertaken. Despite the fact that the yacht is under sanctions, someone paid millions of euros for this refit. Image
In our previous investigations, we have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Scheherazade belongs to Vladimir Putin. Back in 2022, the Italian government seemed to agree. Yet, the yacht is back in the water, ready to go at any moment. What has changed? Image
We have also reported that the entire Russian crew of the Scheherazade is still on the payroll; they have not been fired. Their correspondence, which we examined, indicates that they expect to recover the yacht in the foreseeable future. Image
If the Italian government, for whatever reason, lets the Scheherazade escape, it would be the biggest embarrassment imaginable. The most significant blow to the EU sanctions policy. It cannot happen. You cannot give Putin his yacht back; it's just insane.
Huge thank you to @eSysman, who are still covering this story and visiting Marina di Carrara regularly. Here is their new video with many more details. Please watch and share.

1/16 You've heard a million times that sanctions against Putin's regime don't work. That Putin isn't actually affected by them. That's right because he isn't.The same approach is tried over and over for almost 2 years, yielding no results. How about I suggest something different? Image
2/16 Something that might actually work. It's simple, it's quick, and it's going to hurt Putin. Let me explain. In March 2024, there will be a presidential 'election' in Russia. God knows why, but it is still very important for Putin to pretend he is democratically elected. Image
3/16 That's why every now and then we have these sham 'elections'. Everybody knows it's fake, but they still do it. And along the campaign trail, we see this. People I have circled are very famous Russian celebrities; they stand behind Putin and show their love and support. Image

1/13 Грядут 5-е "выборы" Путина. Никто, думаю, не станет спорить, что Путин черпает свою "легитимность" именно из выборов. Мог бы давно отменить. Но уж так получилось, что ему это кажется очень важным. Дедушке хочется вот таких картинок, статуса любимца и "национального лидера". Image
2/13 На этих фотографиях не случайные люди, а известные всей стране звёзды. Под каждые "выборы" их собирают несколько сотен и называют ДОВЕРЕННЫМИ ЛИЦАМИ. На них возложена важная роль - создавать иллюзию всенародной поддержки и "делиться" своим авторитетом с Путиным.

3/13 "Ну, если моему любимому актеру Машкову, нравится Путин, то явно он мужик хороший". "Я за Овечкина болею всю жизнь, а Овечкин в команде Путина, значит, и я в команде Путина" - вот искомая администрацией президента формула. Доверенное лицо как бы делится своей популярностью.

Посмотрела на днях фильм @meduzaproject об Абрамовиче. Поделюсь впечатлениями, мне кажется, такие вещи важно обсуждать. Под видом документального кино, нам втюхали агитлисток. Бессовестно комплиментарный сюжет, час восхваления Абрамовича, вышедший под любимым и уважаемым брендом. Image
То, что вы видите - это никакая не "биография". Это отмывание биографии, ее переизобретение. Переписывание истории у нас на глазах. В случае Абрамовича - ничего нового, он уже это проворачивал много раз. Но теперь это делает не лондонское PR агенство, а почему-то Медуза.
Посмотрев этот опус, вы не увидите ничего кроме истории несчастного еврейского сироты, который вопреки всему...СМОГ. Ему чинили препятствия, но он все равно сумел заработать. А потом посвятил себя госслужбе, позже спорту, потом искусству и благотворительности.

I'd like to invite you to Wentworth Estate🇬🇧. It's divine. A vast lake, forests,perfect golf courses trimmed with manicure scissors. And amidst all of this, there are huge private estates. Tranquility and harmony with nature. A perfect place to hide...if you are a war criminal.⬇️

Technically you cannot really come here. It’s member-only golf club and you have to pay £175k to join. The streets are gated and and the security is vigilant. But I followed someone’s car and got in. So I can share with you the story of a Russian missile maker who lives here. Image
Actually, it's a whole family of missile makers not just one. First you will need to find this gate on Portnall Rise. You'll see a monogram with two lions and the letter 'O.' You won't be able to look inside; the view is obstructed by a dark net. And 'O' stands for Okroyan. Image

We are sending these letters today to the three countries that have decided to ban entry for the Russian cars - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. We are not asking for any clarifications or comments, we are asking to reconsider their decision.

1. These EU regulations were never intended to be applied to personal belongings. It is misinterpretation of the guidance.
2. Personal goods (incl. cars, clothes, toiletries etc) CANNOT 'generate significant revenues' for Russia as a country. It contradicts common sense. Image
3. The regulations are just patchy. The cars are on the same list with a shampoo bottle and agricultural fertilisers. But then they all are being treated differently. This creates an absurd legal collision and chaos in law enforcement. Image

Very interesting new footage of Putin's yacht Scheherazade. It was arrested over a year ago in Italy. Apparently it's being refitted and modified. They're putting in a stern extension.Canvas barriers have been erected along the walkways so no one can see what’s happening inside.
We have recently reported that the entire Russian Scheherazade crew is kept on the payroll despite the fact that they cannot access the yacht. They receive their monthly salaries in envelopes and they also go through regular training. Image
Their internal communication, which we have access to, suggests that they are working on the assumption that Scheherazade, the Putin's yacht, will be moved outside Europe in the foreseeable future. So they jobs are secured.
