The creator of the Marathon of Desires, Elena Blinovskaya, who was arrested in a tax evasion case, during a meeting to extend the preventive measure, commented on the participation of her husband, Alexei Blinovsky, in the war in Ukraine. This was reported by a Mediazona correspondent from the Moscow City Court.
At the meeting, Blinovskaya, in particular, said that she does not communicate with journalists because she wants to “I just want to sort out my own business.”
“Every day on TV I see how our surname is being teased. My husband fulfills his duties at the Northern Military District so conscientiously that one day our president, excuse me, is shown the results of his work, and my heart skips a beat. I understand that this is my husband, I find out through lawyers. It's really yours, because it seems to me that this is exactly what you do. And they send me photographs, that is, they are shown on TV. I know my husband, I know how he serves there. This is truly the most conscientious service, your honor,” said the creator of the “Marathon of Wishes.”
Blinovskaya is accused of tax evasion of more than 918 million rubles (Part 2 of Article 198 of the Criminal Code) and legalization of 43 million rubles acquired as a result of a crime (clause “b” of Part 4 of Article 174.1 of the Criminal Code). Her husband is also involved in this case, but the charges against him have been separated into separate proceedings. He is wanted.
Alexey Blinovskoy, according to his lawyer Yulia Starostina, entered into a contract with the Ministry of Defense in March 2024. The telegram channel “Pashayev TV” (this is a project of lawyer Elmar Pashayev, who also went to fight in Ukraine) published photos and videos showing Blinovsky in military uniform and with weapons.
