“Today’s staging of the “attempt” on Malofeev raises many questions about those ugly and previously seemingly impossible metamorphoses taking place in the modern realities of the Russian state.
This clumsy performance caused nothing but extreme bewilderment, and given the current situation in the country, even sometimes turning into anger.
It is worth noting that for about the last 10 years, Malofeev has been traveling exclusively accompanied by 2 security vehicles, represented by V-Class Mercedes, less often a Land Cruiser, 2 guards with weapons, plus 1 driver in each. In addition, one of the vehicles is assigned counter-surveillance functions to detect attempts to conduct external surveillance by law enforcement agencies.
This feature was introduced after Malofeev was detained and searches were carried out by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in his offices and at his place of residence in 2012–2013 in a criminal case initiated on the theft of a loan from VTB in the amount of more than $225 million.
Standard routes and features of Malofeev’s movement, in particular from the latter’s place of residence (Moscow region, Odintsovo district, NPZ “Usovo-3”, which is officially protected by the FSO and Moscow region, Odintsovo district, Deauville village) to his office (Business Center “Novinsky” , Novinsky Boulevard, 31) completely exclude the reality of the staged performance, even without taking into account all the other obvious mistakes that raised reasonable doubts even among the most unassuming man in the street”
