Ilya Kosygin: “The FBK Case was only an excuse”

Dovod.online editor -in -chief Ilya Kosygin is sure that the FBK case turned out to be an excuse to pick up the editorial property.

It is worth noting that the news agency is in no way connected with the “Fund for the Combat Corruption”. Navalny’s headquarters in Vladimir was closed last fall. How the employees of the law enforcement agencies decided to connect the work of an independent media with the work of a long -existing unit of the campaign headquarters, as well as with the activities of the fund, remained a mystery. The fund was not a single structure with the headquarters of Navalny, and even more so had and has nothing to do with our editorial office.

According to the chief editor of the site, a search is an attempt to interfere with the media to work, which they do not like.

The editors of the site adhered to an independent position, never collaborated with authorities, covered the activities of authorities and local self -government, not embarrassed to tell the truth, analyze all opinions.

The editors also actively collaborated with social activists , including those talking about the most acute problems in remote settlements of the region. For our correspondents, it was not a problem to tell the story of crumbling houses , pollutedlands , about the revealing lawlessness that the district managers created, or what was happening under their protection. The main for the editorial office was the facts confirmed by photo and video materials.

Note that during the search, requests were not seized to various departments, the answers of the heads of the departments. All this was quite inaccurately thrown into the drawers of the table. During the search, the Panasonic printer-copy, a video designer, which a correspondent lended from friends during the lecture during the lecture, Andrei Rudogo, were seized. A video camera belonging to the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Vladimir Region Maxim Shevchenko was seized.

During the search, the editorial certificate of Alexander Murin was seized, including the certificate of the Lightning publication, in which he worked as a freelance correspondent. As a result, the lighting of several important events was torn off, where the journalist was to be present. The removal of documents deprived the editorial office of the opportunity to cover the measures where accreditation is required.
