Navalny and Katz. Confrontation of a rogue and a rogue

Popular blogger Ilya Varlamov published an unintelligible text on the conflict between Alexei Navalny and Maxim Katz, who was deputy head of his headquarters in 2013. The main reason for the conflict allegedly turned out to be personal relationships. right hand Navalny - Leonid Volkov - and one of the employees of the headquarters, whom he tried to seduce. And here the "muddy type", "dishonest rogue" Maxim Katz from the text is completely incomprehensible.

A certain Ekaterina Patyulina allegedly simultaneously became the object of attention for Katz (isn't he gay?) and his boss Leonid Volkov. Varlamov clarified that he would not have divulged this story if Navalny had not called Katz a "rogue" the day before, accusing his former ally of corruption in his nomination to the Moscow City Duma, when the municipal deputy from Shchukino allegedly hid his income from the election commission by reissuing bank accounts to parents.

In the photo - the same sex bomb that everyone wants and harasses. I don't like her at all.

Patyulina told Varlamov's blog that during the election campaign of the mayor of Moscow in 2013, Leonid Volkov, being the head of Navalny's headquarters, explained to her romantic feelings, and later actually began to sexually harass his subordinate. At that time, Volkov was married with his first marriage - his wife and children remained in Yekaterinburg. He was afraid that his wife might find out about his relationship with an employee, so he hid his communication with Patyulina in every possible way. social networks. As a result, Patyulina was unable to reciprocate the feelings of the head of Navalny's headquarters: "I said that I had nothing to say to him, I was in shock, there was no question of any reciprocity, and we agreed not to raise this topic again."

Then Leonid Volkov began to pursue Patyulina, seeking favor with himself: under fictitious pretexts, he forced her to dine together in a restaurant, guarded the girl in the evenings near the headquarters building and took other actions that are considered sexual harassment in a corporate environment: "Then he began to follow me everywhere, without giving the opportunity not only to build the Internet normally, but to go to the toilet normally. Without leaving the state of freaking out, I somehow managed to restrain his activity so that the headquarters would not accidentally fall apart due to general hysteria. "

As evidence, Patyulina, who now works as the commercial director of Ilya Varlamov, published several messages from Volkov three years ago, where he explains his intentions.

Due to Patyulina's unwillingness to enter into a close relationship with Volkov, he suddenly (!) Decided to fire his own deputy Maxim Katz, with whom the girl was in close contact while Volkov was trying to get her attention. She claims that the head of the headquarters found a formal reason for such a decision a few days before the election, thereby refuting Navalny's words that Katz was suspended from work two weeks before the vote. Then Patyulina tried to explain the reasons for the conflict to Navalny, who reacted to Volkov's jealousy like this: "I thought he just wanted to fuck you, but it turns out that everything is not so simple!"

What does the greedy corrupt official Maksim Katz and his "dishonesty" have to do with it, I repeat, it is completely incomprehensible. Navalny and his press secretary clearly said: "Muddy type, dishonorable, dishonest, corrupt official!" I certainly believe in this. And the fact that everyone wants Ekaterina Palyutina is not very good. Whatever Varlamov tells her, she will confirm - also for money.

There is clearly something wrong with the FBK snake nest.

& ***THE MOST DISCUSSED POSTS*** &

On the air of the Dozhd TV channel, Alexei Navalny called Maxim Katz a "dishonest person" and a "rogue." The head of the FBK made such a harsh statement in response to a video message from a municipal deputy, in which he asked why Navalny did not support the election campaign of Gudkov Jr., which is led by Katz.

Maxim was also wondering why Alexey "behind his back" says such things about him and ignores his city projects. Like, he could not do this, because they worked together in the elections for the mayor of Moscow. Plus, both are oppositionists and must fight the regime together, sort of. But an oppositionist is different for an oppositionist.

Navalny said that he would never have anything to do with Katz, since he is the creator and participant in corruption schemes. During the elections to the municipal deputies, Maxim transferred his fortune to the foreign accounts of his parents, the head of the FBK is sure. It was for his dishonesty that Katz was fired from Navalny's headquarters two weeks before the Moscow mayoral elections in 2013.

At the time of his exposure, Katz was sitting on the plane and was unable to respond to Navalny's attacks in a timely manner, which made him very annoyed. Moreover, Alexei’s henchmen actively promoted the topic of the “muddy rogue”.

His associates fit in for Maxim, saying that the ardent fighters against corruption in the person of Navalny and Volkov themselves resorted to black bookkeeping. They are not just crooks, but specific crooks and thieves.

Katz, having landed in Germany, responded less emotionally to Navalny's statements. He accused Alexei of lying and told some details of their joint work in the Moscow mayoral elections. The municipal deputy concluded that Navalny quarreled with absolutely everyone and was left with almost no political allies. According to Maxim, he does not really imagine how people will continue to work with the head of the FBK.

It is curious that a young lady was again involved in the history of Kats-Navalny. No, not Natalya Pelevina, but Ekaterina Patyulina, who worked in 2013 together with the participants in the conflict. The discord of the oppositionists largely happened on the basis of matters of the heart, which adds spice to the quarrel of the oppositionists. Without this, apparently, nowhere. Ekaterina, after watching Navalny's interview on Dozhd, considered it necessary to tell everything.

According to Patyulina, Volkov fell in love with her in the summer of 2013. Katya could not answer him in return. Lenya was very upset and at some point became jealous of his object of adoration for Maxim Katz, with whom Catherine maintained a warm relationship. Volkov began to weave intrigues, and in the end, Patyulina and Katz were suspended from work in the FBK. Then Volkov apologized to both, but the sediment remained. It was Navalny who raised him from the bottom, explaining the dismissal of Katz by unprofessionalism.

Navalny does not allow anyone but himself as a spokesman for protest ideas. He has long imagined himself as the number one in the opposition environment and is trying to push out of it those who do not like him. Moreover, on the air of Dozhd, Navalny called for a boycott of the elections, which caused a justified

Volkov's marriage eventually fell apart and he nevertheless found himself a new companion - a specialist in the sociology service of the Anti-Corruption Foundation Anna Biryukova. The new wife is 24 years old, the difference in the age of the newlyweds is 10 years. The marriage was registered about 8 months ago.

Here we have a serious scandal broke out. It only at first glance may seem that this is another squabble between the opposition, in fact, this conflict can have far-reaching consequences. With each turn, the parties present more and more serious accusations to each other and, apparently, are not going to stop. Since many are not quite aware of what is happening, I have prepared a brief summary of the current moment.

WHAT HAPPENED

On May 31, Alexei Navalny, on the air of Dozhd, called Maxim Katz a "dishonest person" and a "rogue".

BACKGROUND

In 2013, Navalny ran for mayor of Moscow. Maxim Katz worked at his headquarters as a deputy chief and was responsible for organizing work (cubes, meetings with voters, logistics, and so on). At the end of the campaign, after everything had already been organized, a complicated personal story happened, as a result of which, 4 days before the elections, the structure of the headquarters was changed and Maxim began to work directly with Navalny.

But recently, on the air of Dozhd, Alexey said that Maxim was fired from the headquarters 2 weeks before the elections, and called him a "rogue".

NAVALNY'S ACCUSATIONS AGAINST KATS

Now let's get to the heart of the accusations. On the air, Navalny outlined three reasons why he considers Katz a dishonorable person. Within a day or two, Katz responded to each of them, in turn accusing Navalny of lying. Here are the positions of the parties:

Navalny
- Katz himself is a corrupt official, he hid the income and transferred it to the foreign accounts of his parents.
Katz
- Katz is not a corrupt official, he has never worked in the civil service or in a state position. He had a foreign account as he funds foreign poker players to play tournaments. Before the elections to the Moscow State Duma, he closed the account due to the requirements of the law, and transferred the rest of the money from it to his parents.

Navalny
- Katz doesn't know what ethics is and doesn't know how to build relationships with people. That is why he was fired from Navalny's headquarters two weeks before the election.
Katz
- There was no dismissal from the headquarters. There was an attempt to dismiss for personal reasons, which Navalny canceled, and he also slightly changed the structure of the headquarters. This happened 4 days before the elections.

- They tried to fire Katz not because he is dishonorable and not familiar with ethics. The reason for the dismissal attempt was that Leonid Volkov, the chief of staff, was in love with Katya and was annoyed because of her friendship with Maxim. Due to general fatigue and emotional overstrain, Volkov began to do strange things, and at some point Katya could not stand it and told him that she was no longer going to communicate with him. She accused Leonid of sexual harassment and informed Alexei. Volkov then took out his evil on Katz by trying to fire him. Navalny in the conflict took the side of Volkov, who was loyal to him, instead of supporting the too independent Katz. Despite the sexual harassment, he kept Volkov on leadership position, however, Katz's dismissal was canceled anyway.

VOLKOV'S ACCUSATIONS AGAINST KATS

June 2, your point of view on events related to Katz expressed Leonid Volkov. He added a new batch of accusations against Katz. Here is Volkov's position and Katz's answers:

Volkov
- Katya and Katz once again proved their dishonesty by publishing her personal correspondence with Volkov. All this is the level of Life and NTV.
Katz
- People have the right to publish their (!) personal correspondence when they are unreasonably accused of dishonesty. This is necessary in order to prove your case.

Volkov
- Katz wanted to remove Volkov from the post of chief of staff, wove intrigues and spoiled relations in the team.
Katz
- Volkov, because of his love for Katya and severe fatigue, was incapacitated. Therefore, in a conversation with Navalny, Katz raised the question of who would take control of the headquarters if Leonid breaks down. Navalny responded by saying that Volkov would remain in his post anyway, and Katz would now work directly with Alexei. (Letters from Katz and Navalny are cited as proof.)

Volkov
- Katz promised to hand over everyone to the police if the members of the headquarters after the elections came to the Moscow City Electoral Committee and demanded a recount of the votes.
Katz
- From the very beginning of his work at the headquarters, Katz stated that he would build a campaign exclusively within the framework of the law. A month before the events described, he clearly stated that he would not engage in breaking the law or cover for other people breaking the law.

After another interview with Alexei Navalny, a new conflict broke out in the Moscow opposition crowd. The politician, who spoke sharply about the municipal deputy Maxim Katz, was answered by Katz's girlfriend, who worked with him at Navalny's campaign headquarters in 2013. According to her, because of jealousy towards her, a split occurred between the head of headquarters and part of the staff who sympathized with Katz, and its consequences were transferred to the Russian opposition as a whole.

On May 31, on the air of Dozhd, politician Alexei Navalny answered a question in absentia from the Moscow municipal deputy Maxim Katz. For three years after the election of the mayor of Moscow, there has been no interaction between them and Navalny does not support him in anything, Katz complained, although he took an active part in the organization in the elections.

According to Navalny, Katz is actually a corrupt official, since he keeps his money in foreign closed accounts, and it is precisely such corrupt officials that the FBK is fighting.

My experience of interacting with him suggests that he is a dishonorable person and just a rogue. I exclude any interaction with him, and there are also political reasons for this. We cannot support a person who says that when Liksutov re-registered offshore companies for his wife, it was he who so cunningly deceived the system and he is not a corrupt official. […]

Still, within the framework of organizational interaction, I try to work with people who know what ethics and a normal relationship with the team are. Actually, Maxim was fired by the head of my headquarters two weeks before the election of the mayor of Moscow for some such reasons, and I supported this decision.

Navalny recalled a situation that was perhaps one of the most visible conflicts during his election campaign as a candidate for mayor of Moscow. His headquarters was headed by political strategist Leonid Volkov, and Maxim Katz was in charge of organizational processes: right before the elections, there was a misunderstanding between them, which, according to Navalny, led to Katz's dismissal.

The next day, about the causes of the conflict, Ekaterina Patyulina is Katz's girlfriend, whom he began dating immediately after the elections. She began working with Navalny back in 2012, developing his presence on social networks - that is, SMM. Subsequently, after working for a politician, Patyulina opened a joint company with Ilya Varlamov, who collaborated with Katz on City Projects. For 2016, she sells advertising in the popular blogs of Sergey Dolya, Anton Nosik, Varlamov.ru and Wylsacom.

According to Patyulina, she herself became the real cause of the conflict between Volkov and Katz. Volkov, her immediate boss at Navalny, fell in love with her and tried to get a meeting, but after refusals and ignoring her, he began to behave aggressively, the girl recalled.

It all started with a joke on Twitter.

Shortly before the elections, we sat with Veduta (Anna Veduta, Navalny's press secretary - approx. TJ) and Volkov in front of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, discussing the possibilities of independent politics on the Internet. It was a warm May evening, and we, after drinking wine, joked about literary images from Orwell's book in relation to the current political regime in Russia.

A few days later, Volkov posted this joke on Twitter, tagging only Anya Veduta in it. I was terribly offended: why couldn’t all the participants in the discussion be taunted? Or am I not popular enough on Twitter for that? In short, it's all nonsense.

I did not restrain my resentment: the next day I wrote to Volkov that somehow this was wrong, and asked why he did this. The answer shocked me. He replied that if he had taunted me, his wife (!!!) would have declassified him (!!!) and UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM (!!!).

Then I did not realize the full extent of the tin in which I found myself, but, without leaving the state of surprise, I asked for an explanation that it could be misunderstood there. He asked for a personal meeting for clarification. A few days later, we met with Lenya in a cafe, and he said that he loved me.

According to Patyulina, she met Katz around the same time that Navalny introduced her to Volkov as new members of the campaign headquarters. But with Katz in the future, she interacted more closely: he was engaged in activities "in the field", and the two of them had to coordinate efforts, attracting an audience and help via the Internet.

The rapprochement with Katz infuriated Volkov, Patyulina believes: as proof, she published a correspondence with him, in which the head of staff either persistently offered meetings, or apologized for being obtrusive. As a result, on September 3, five days before the election, Volkov announced the dismissal of Katz to a small group of people, but, according to Patyulina, Navalny did not support this.

According to the girl, Navalny did not know about this decision: “I thought he just wanted to fuck you, but it turns out that everything is not so simple!” As a result, he asked “not to tease Volkov,” the girl said, and in fact the conflict did not occur two weeks before the elections, as Navalny said on Dozhd, but three days after the main work was completed.

At the same time, according to her, the fact that Navalny’s headquarters did not use the offline promotion strategy proposed by Katz for the final breakthrough a week before the elections prevented the politician from winning a few more percent of the vote and getting into the second round against Sobyanin. “And this is a different political reality! But it didn’t work out, ”Patyulina recalled.

Thus began a serious split in the opposition forces, because of this, everyone quarreled, first inside the headquarters, and then beyond. A lot of things happened after, but initially it is from this situation that the roots of stupid rumors, emotional conclusions and other things grow. Navalny chose to further cooperate with someone who was clearly in the wrong but personally loyal to him. Max got into this situation in general because of Volkov's banal jealousy. Of course, Navalny should have stopped this, and not lie now on the air of Dozhd.
