At the beginning of this year, Kiriyenko’s subordinate departments of the Administration of the Russian Federation began to deal with the “Ukrainian issue” – they took up the stillborn project of Viktor Medvedchuk. The “prospects” of the “Other Ukraine” project were absurdly argued by the fact that there must be at least some alternative Ukrainian project. In parallel with this, a tender was launched for work in the Ukrainian Internet space, which, by a lucky chance, was won by the head of the Social Design Agency, Ilya Gambashidze, who by that time had already taken over the contract for media support of Medvedchuk’s project. According to a source of the Cheka-OGPU, Gambashidze’s success in closed AP tenders is due to his proven devotion to the head of the State Council department Kharichev and warm friendship with Sofia Zakharova, an employee of the department for the development of information and communication technologies and communication infrastructure. Since February of this year, Gamabashidze’s team began creating creative memes and shortreads, drawing figures for their supposed distribution in Ukrainian social networks, adding 300% of the cost at each stage of content production and delivery. In addition, social networks turn out to be not Ukrainian. For example, in Telegram “The Other Ukraine” is promoted on incomprehensible channels created in March-April 2022 and in fake channels of Z-cultural figures, such as the “Nikita Mikhalkov on Telegram” channel, which has nothing to do with the director. Another “invention” of PR people is the creation of the series “Two Godmothers”. Apparently, a reference to the fact that Medvedchuk is Putin’s godfather. 
As a result, Kiriyenko received colorful but “phony” reports on the “stunning results” of influencing the Ukrainian population, immersing the AP in virtual reality.
The level of Medvedchuk’s patrons and, as a consequence, the “Other Ukraine” project, had a beneficial effect on the financial ambitions of the head of the “Social Design Agency” Ilya Gambashidze. Gambashidze offered their price list and their vision of the system for conveying the messages of the “Other Ukraine” movement, where the absurdity of the project’s political prospects is offset by expectations from the fee.
