General pip

Based on suspicious comments, the prosecutor's office was asked to check whether Navalny was spreading viruses.

Activists of the “Tipun” movement, opposing rudeness on the Internet, appealed to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a demand to check Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) for sending a computer virus. newspaper reported this on May 20 The Izvestia . Navalny's supporters claim that the charges against them are fabricated.

Representatives of “Tipun” suspected Navalny and his supporters of extortion. According to them, FBK sent a virus to unsuspecting users, infecting their computers and “blocking the operating system” with the requirement to transfer money to a Yandex.Money wallet under the number 41001208705458.

The Internet wallet indicated by the “criminals,” according to Tipun, was used to collect donations for Alexei Navalny’s projects. Messages about computer blocking were accompanied by a banner with the words “Say no to censorship! Donate 100 rubles to the fight.”

As Alexander Litke, coordinator of the Tipun project, stated in a comment to Izvestia, the virus was spread by FBK through a special plug-in, the installation of which helped open Alexei Navalny’s personal blog, which was blocked in April by Roskomnadzor.

According to Litke, users who have installed this plugin are now “writing a lot of requests to antivirus companies asking for help getting rid of this.”

We think this started after Navalny’s blog was blocked by Roskomnadzor. Then the Anti-Corruption Foundation made a project on Navalny, the essence of which is that you download a plugin, install a browser and it transfers you to various “mirrors” containing his old and new articles. Alexander Litke, coordinator of the “Tipun” movement

TJournal was unable to get a comment from Tipuna activists. Representatives of the movement did not respond to requests from the editors.

The Prosecutor General's Office refused to discuss a possible audit of Navalny's foundation by phone or email. The department said that it provides comments only by fax, but TJournal was unable to quickly find the receiving device.

In turn, Ruslan Leviev, who was involved in creating “mirrors” for Navalny’s blog, completely denies the involvement of the oppositionist’s supporters in the spread of the virus.

We, of course, deny that we created the virus. Moreover, we are sure that no virus exists, and all messages from “infected users” are nothing more than fake. Most likely, these messages were written by the activists of the “Tipun” movement themselves. Ruslan Leviev, supporter of Alexei Navalny

Leviev pointed out several circumstances that, in his opinion, indicate that this whole story was in fact invented by “Tipun”.

Firstly, all the comments from “outraged users” that activists refer to were left on the websites of antivirus companies at almost the same time. All comments were written by “newcomers” to the forums who registered on them on the same day.

On CyberForum , Dr.Web and Virus Info, posts with messages about a virus allegedly having entered the computer appeared on the evening of April 7. On the Kaspersky Lab website , a slightly more detailed and “thorough” post about the virus was posted on the morning of April 8.

Secondly, the “screenshot” used in complaints as a visual explanation of what happens to the computer during “infection” also raises doubts. Back in April, shortly after posts about the “virus” appeared, Ruslan Leviev noted in his LiveJournal that the “photo” of the blocking was nothing more than an HTML page launched in full screen mode to hide browser elements.

In the very accounts of this movement on social networks, under posters about how we “extort money,” you can find surprised questions from their users, like, “What does Navalny have to do with it,” “This topic has been discussed for a long time, why are you all idiots?” hold." Ruslan Leviev, supporter of Alexei Navalny

According to Leviev, the absence of any complaints about fraudulent actions on the part of the owners of wallet No. 41001208705458 was also confirmed by the user support service of the Yandex.Money company. A screenshot of the correspondence between Navalny’s supporters and a representative of the service is available to the editors.

The movement against rudeness on the Internet “Tipun”, judging by the first entry in its communities on VKontakte, appeared in early 2014. At the time of writing this note, the community had just over seven thousand subscribers.

Why representatives of the movement decided to turn their attention to the activities of FBK and Navalny’s supporters is not explained in the community. Previously, “Tipun” specialized exclusively in tracking swearing-using politicians, show business stars and bloggers.

, who calls himself the coordinator of the movement, also has his own page on the social network Alexander Litke . In his own profile, Litke does not advertise his connection with “Tipun” in any way.

The young man from Tula’s friends include, for example, Viktor Levanov and several other pro-Kremlin bloggers. Levanov is known for his proposal to oblige the Yandex news service to obtain media registration.

On Litke’s “wall” there are many anti-American posts, most of which are reposts of publications in other communities. The social activist also does not refrain from photographs and reposts based on racist, sexist and homophobic jokes.
