In addition, the lawsuit says that Navalny must refute reports of a bribe to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and statements about censorship in Kommersant (a publishing house owned by Usmanov).
In a 2012 investigation, it was said that Shuvalov's wife's company in 2004 received 50 million from the firm of Roman Abramovich and Yevgeny Shvidler and transferred the money to Usmanov's holding. In 2007, according to the investigation, Usmanov returned 118 million to her. Navalny called it a bribe.
The bribe to Medvedev was mentioned in an investigation published in March 2017. According to the Anti-Corruption Foundation, Usmanov donated the estate on Rublyovka to people close to Medvedev.
