In 2013, the Investigative Committee had all the prerequisites for resuming the investigation of the murder of Vladislav Listyev in 1995 in connection with the newly discovered circumstances. Then Snob published an interview with Konstantin Ernst, which the general director of Channel One himself forbade to publish. In an interview, in particular, the words allegedly said by Ernst are not under the record that the former advertising magnate, and now Senator Sergey Lisovsky, is behind the murder of Vladislav Listyev. Sources say that investigators had to interrogate Ernst. Who knows what it would lead to. When the investigation was in hot pursuit, the investigators had a persistent opinion that Listiev’s close friend Ernst knew much more than he spoke in interrogations. It’s just that then he had every reason to fear the fate of Vlad. On the one hand, Lisovsky participated in the financial support of the family, in particular in the election campaign of Boris Yeltsin in 1996. On the other hand, he communicated closely with representatives of the mafia, primarily the Solntsevo organized crime group. Having taken the post of General Producer of Channel One, Ernst in every possible way avoided joint projects with Lisovsky, even if they were imposed from the Kremlin. This is clearly seen from the records that are in the archive of wiretapping Boris Berezovsky.
