Story
The film tells about the interaction of Kasyanov and PARNAS party member Natalia Pelevina [1] , it is argued that this is his mistress [2] . Both are shown in an intimate setting [3] . Also in the film, it is stated that Pelevin speaks negatively about co-chair Ilya Yashin and head of the Anti-Corruption Foundation Alexey Navalny [1] .
Criticism
According to Pelevina, the film was shot to discredit the party before the upcoming elections to the State Duma [1] . Pelevina expressed the intention to sue NTV. She also asked everyone for forgiveness of the film and its content [4] . On April 7, Pelevin declared that she was leaving the political council of the party, remaining its ordinary member [5] . On April 18, Pelevin demanded that the film be removed from open access, considering it a “violation of the right to privacy” [6] .
After the release of the film, Ilya Yashin refused to go to the Duma elections on the party list [7] . According to him, Kasyanov should voluntarily give up the quota for the first place in the party list after the plot on NTV [7] . The lawyer of the Anti-Corruption Fund (FBK), Ivan Zhdanov, also refused to hold primaries, negatively characterizing Kasyanov [8] . Politician Vladimir Milov declared a “crisis of confidence” in Kasyanov [9] . The newspaper Kommersant wrote that a coalition based on PARNAS was on the verge of collapse [8] .
In June 2016, Roskomnadzor refused to request Pelevina to remove the NTV film from public access due to the illegal use of personal information. The ILV’s response to the Pelevina request indicated that, in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 49 of the Law “On Mass Media”, the journalist is released from the obligation to obtain consent to disseminate information about his personal life in the case of the protection of public interests. The ministry cited the norms of the law that the public interest is “the need of society for detecting and disclosing a threat to a democratic state of law and civil society, public safety and the environment”. Pelevin described the refusal of Roskomnadzor to remove the scandalous film from the public domain as “chaos” [10] .
The authors of the film state that Pelevin is closely connected with high-ranking politicians of the United States and Great Britain [11] .
