Additional information:

Oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin wrote a denunciation to Chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin against the editorial director of Meduza Tatyana Yershova and special correspondent Lilia Yapparova. Prigozhin asked to check them under the articles on treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and distribution of "fakes" about the army (Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The reason for appealing to the Investigative Committee was Meduza's inquiry to Prigozhin about the participation of the Wagner Group in Russia's war with Ukraine.
