“You know, there is this “Barbara Streisand effect”. when they wrote something about her, she began to sue, and it had an even worse effect, because everyone began to write about it ”.
“Base” received transcription of telephone conversations Rostec employee Andrei Baldukhaev with Kirill Sukhanov and Arian Romanovsky. It follows from them that a representative of Chemezov asked the team to remove the post in which the head of the corporation appeared, while avoiding in every possible way to call his boss by name. So, at first Baldukhaev contacted Romanovsky, but he only noticed that he did not see “anything seditious” in the publication and did not have the authority to delete it. Romanovsky clarified that for Chemezov, the “Barbara Streisand effect” may occur – this is when an attempt to hide some information leads to its wide dissemination.
The next day, a Rostec employee called Kirill Sukhanov, the commercial director of Ksenia Sobchak and her authorized representative in the Put Out the Light project. Judging by the transcripts, Sukhanov arranged a meeting with Baldukhaev and even promised to make a discount when paying for the removal of the post.
Soon the police detained Sukhanov during the transfer of 800 thousand. And after his interrogation, two editors of the Telegram channel were also arrested: Arian Romanovsky and Tamerlan Bigaev.
