- In Kyiv, they plan to confiscate the apartments of Artemy Lebedev
On July 6, the Higher Anti-Corruption Court started considering a claim for the confiscation of the assets of Russian designer Artemy Lebedev. He has two apartments in the center of Kyiv.
This is reported by the Anti-Corruption Action Center. We are talking about an apartment with an area of 138 square meters on Yaroslavov Val and another one on Saksaganskogo Street. The first apartment is registered to Lebedev, he copied the other to his friend, a programmer, a few months before the start of a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. On the first day of the hearing, the court examined written evidence. The next meeting will take place on Monday, July 10.
Lebedev for spreading anti-Ukrainian propaganda and visiting the occupied territories was included in the sanctions list in January 2023. The basis for a claim for confiscation of property under the mechanism developed by the CPC together with partners is support for a military invasion and dissemination of enemy propaganda theses. So, TsBK cites one of the quotes from a Russian: “In Russia, everything is simple – the regions inside the country are called regions, and the regions along the edges are called regions (and one region is directly called – Ukraine).
The Security Service of Ukraine reported suspicion to Lebedev for illegally visiting Ukraine in the summer of 2022, during which he took photographs on the roof of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

- A hole of 5 trillion rubles (50 billion euros) has appeared in the budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation
Despite raising the retirement age, double-digit social tax rates (22%) and meager pensions only slightly above Iran's level ($250 last year), the Russian pension system remains in a near-bankrupt state.
In 2022, the Pension Fund’s own revenues covered only half (54%) of the costs of paying pensions, the Accounts Chamber found out after analyzing the execution of the PFR budget
Social contributions in the amount of 22% of the salaries paid by each employer for an employee brought 6.2 trillion rubles to the Pension Fund - 124 billion rubles less than the plan.
Spending rose by 1.2 trillion rubles to 11.4 trillion rubles after the Kremlin launched an unscheduled indexation in an attempt to compensate the elderly electorate for a surge in war inflation.
As a result: a hole in the amount of 5.2 trillion rubles was formed in the fund's budget.
Formally, the budget of the PFR is in surplus, but this is a consequence of the transfer from the federal budget, which year after year closes the lack of money. Last year it was increased by 1.7 times - up to 6.1 trillion rubles.
The share of expenses for the payment of insurance pensions, which the fund can cover from its own income, has fallen from 77% to 70%, the Accounts Chamber states.
This year, according to the law on the budget, the PFR should receive another 5.9 trillion rubles from the federal budget in order to pay pensioners. But the state of affairs in the treasury is deteriorating: oil and gas revenues have fallen by half, and the hole by the beginning of June exceeded the plan for the whole year.
