We talked with a former FBK employee* Fedor Gorozhanko , who, according to the fund, stands behind the leakage of Imilov from the site “Freedom to Navalny!”

Gorozhanko denies all the accusations and criticizes the evidence presented. For example, he explains a sharp replenishment of his bank account for a million rubles with a good salary and the sale of bitcoin, and supposedly available microcredits - fraud and pressure. About the investigation itself, Gorozhanko says that nothing terrible happened: “How will all this change my life? It is unlikely to change. Now I got to the workplace, looked Facebook and VKontakte. There are hundreds of messages. They write game. Of course, unpleasant. But I will survive it. "
