According to the source, in 2021, an employee of a company associated with the studio of a famous designer ordered invitations to Russia for seven employees of Artemy Lebedev from his office in Kyiv from the intermediary Yuri Smirnov, who assists in obtaining visas for foreigners. The service cost 35 thousand rubles and was paid from the bank card of Lebedev’s partner, Dmitry Egorov. All manipulations were carried out, it is suspected, on the orders of Lebedev himself.
The intermediary, in turn, reordered medical documents (certificates with diagnoses) and invitations for treatment at the clinic to the general director of PharmMed-K LLC, a native of the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan and the wife of a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Marina Polskikh, for 28 thousand rubles. The doctor “drew” terrible diagnoses for young people (names and photographs are on the official website of Artemy Lebedev’s studio) and made invitations for treatment in her clinic.
Recently, Smirnov and the Polskikhs were detained, they wrote a confession and in September they were given a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions.
Now investigators from the Investigative Committee for Transport and the FSB are checking all the clients of this duo, including Lebedev and Egorov. It is known that Marina Polskikh appeared in “inheritance” cases, where she provided documents and testified to the legal capacity of people who were not her clients.
