The second month, entrepreneur Oleg Tinkov is fighting with Russian Yetyub. Bloggers from Kemerova ridiculed his bank, for which they received searches and summons to the court. Top colleagues in the workshop, as well as Alexey Navalny and Pavel Durov, stood up for them. Republic tells the chronology of the conflict, and also explains why this story is more than a simple dispute of a touchy businessman and rudes from the Internet.

History: how the conflict developed

On August 8, the Kemerovo video bloggers, the authors of the UTUB channel "Nemagia" Mikhail Pechersky and Alexei Pskovitin released a video ridicurating Oleg Tinkov and Tinkoff Bank . Video bloggers presented the bank as a selfish organization involving people in credit bondage using aggressive marketing. Not without transitions to the personality of Tinkov.

On the twenty -third of August, Tinkoff Bank, and then Oleg Tinkov himself filed claims against the authors of Nemagia about the protection of honor and dignity , demanding a compensation for 500 thousand rubles. The representative of the bank called the video "mud" and "slander." “We will do everything so that lovers of cheap hype and slander answered by law,” he said. As a result, the court ordered Roskomnadzor to block the video before the proceedings, and the Pechersky and Pskovitin was banned from spreading the video. The video is still in the public domain, at the moment gained six million views.
