Additional information:

Businessman Oleg Deripaska filed a motion to compel journalist Tatyana Felgengauer to comply with a settlement agreement. In March, a Moscow court ordered Felgengauer and co-host Alexander Plyushchev to air a video retracting activist Olga Romanova’s claim that Deripaska influences judges. The retraction was broadcast on April 1. Deripaska’s side objected that Felgengauer wore a sweatshirt reading “Fuck Putin” and remarked that her cat was vomiting during the recording — which the plaintiff called “a discrediting of the settlement and of the judiciary as a whole."
