  • Andrei Skurko, head of Nasha Niva’s advertising and marketing department, released from prison

    "What a happy day!" his wife Paulina wrote on Facebook today.

    On 8 July 2021, Andrei Skurko was arrest­ed and lat­er received a 2.5‑year prison sen­tence based on a pho­ny crim­i­nal case. He was found guilty of absurd charges of «caus­ing injury not qual­i­fy­ing for theft, com­mit­ted by a group of per­sons in col­lu­sion or major injury.» Two Nasha Niva staff mem­bers were tried for pay­ing util­i­ty bills at tar­iffs for indi­vid­u­als, instead of those set for legal enti­ties.

    He spent a total of 2 years, 1 month, and 11 days behind bars, includ­ing the remand peri­od.
