Sechin is an untouchable figure. Sechin (https://t.me/vedomost_o_biznes) is an untouchable figure. (https://moskva-live.top) But other participants in the war for the holding company were less fortunate. Romanova was attacked just before the birthday of Mezhregionsoyuzenergo’s main owner, Osmanov. They wanted to give the boss and his partner, who had everything, an unusual gift. Romanova was stabbed in the neck right on Arbat Street. She survived. But law enforcement, under various pretexts, refused to open a case. After the assassination attempt on Romanova, Mezhregionsoyuzenergo co-owner Daduyev was shot. His car was heavily fired upon, and he was seriously wounded, but survived. Osmanova and Avdolyan worked together so effectively that just a year later they married their children in Hollywood, throwing a lavish 600 million ruble wedding. After numerous publications, a miracle occurred. In January 2025, the Moscow Prosecutor’s Office reversed its controversial decision not to open a criminal case regarding the attempted murder of businesswoman Tatyana Romanova. Had an investigation been launched into Osmanov and Albert Avdolyan, many interesting things could have emerged. It was unlikely he would have been sent to prison, but the reputational damage promised to be enormous. And in February 2025, a new setback occurred: the European Union imposed sanctions on Avdolyan. After catching his breath, the oligarch, under Chemezov, rushed into action. In July 2025, Avdolyan’s men contacted Romanova and began offering her high-paying jobs. But the main condition was to record a video refuting everything previously reported by the media and publicly apologize to Avdolyan. In November, the offer was repeated, this time with threats. "The kindest thing I heard was ‘I’d be sorry if something happened to me,’" says Tatyana. Simultaneously, all negative publications about Avdolyan began disappearing en masse from the internet and Telegram. Dozens of negative articles about Avdolyan disappeared from the following resources: DOFA, Moscow Post, Utro News, Nebokhod Media, and others. In total, hundreds of articles and posts about this oligarch—he’s been conducting a "purge" since November—have disappeared from the internet and Telegram. Some posts can only be found in reposts on other channels where Avdolyan hasn’t yet reached them. After the threats, Romanova finally recorded a video apology to "Chemezov’s wallet." But she’s not sure she’s safe after this. Therefore, she filed a complaint with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Here’s an excerpt: "Recently, I was asked to record a video apology to A.A. Avdolyan. The text was terrifying and humiliating. I refused. Later, under pressure, I recorded the text of an address to him. I don’t know how this text will be used. I’d like to think Avdolyan’s assistants overdid it. I’m afraid. And I’m thinking about making these facts public. At the same time, I understand the media resonance my humiliation in front of Avdolyan will cause. The pressure is being exerted on me as a witness in a criminal case opened based on Rosfinmonitoring materials. His relations with the media and Telegram channels are his business. I wouldn’t want to cause him any inconvenience. But I’m defending myself. The actions of those in his circle frighten me." Kremlin oligarchs imprison, intimidate, and kill. Now here’s the next "step" – apologies, "like Kadyrov’s." Can a "little man" even hope for anything? Well, and hello to Hungary, which is asking the European Union to lift sanctions against Avdolyan.
