«Not enough naked women from the wall»

Alexei Navalny's associates, a year after the release of their landmark investigation about the palace near Gelendzhik, attributed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, published new data. Several dozen, as they claim, are real shots of the interior decoration and facades of this building complex. This is how they responded to accusations from federal channels that Navalny’s team had “invented” the luxurious interiors of the palace and presented only computer graphics as evidence. Initially, the investigation really featured mainly 3D models of the palace, based on detailed drawings obtained by Navalny's team, which indicated the furniture items and the location of the structures. Now they presented the audience with real shots for comparison. True, where Navalny's team got these photos from is unknown. It turned out that the 3D models almost completely repeat the rooms of the palace. There are not so many differences — above the pool, for example, figures of naked women hang, which were not initially taken into account in the drawings; the home theater is all wood trim, which looks darker than in the version from the investigation, and the home strip club turned out to be much more modest. And, of course, double-headed eagles now flaunt throughout the palace — none of the investigators initially took into account such a number of coats of arms. SingleImage_image__3qIDn» alt=»» />
