The luxurious apartment of the Dozhd TV presenter is proposed to be given to refugees from Ukraine

Anna Mongait, presenter of the foreign agent TV channel Dozhd, is selling her apartment in Moscow for 80 million rubles. This is famous real estate, which the oppositionist previously publicly boasted about and provided for the filming of TV series.

RT journalist Konstantin Pridybaylo visited a foreign agent’s apartment under the guise of a buyer and shared a video of luxury real estate.

"Center of Moscow. The territory of the former Rassvet plant. Duplex apartments. Three bathrooms. Three bedrooms. Large common area. Working space. Balconies and partitions. This is the modest home of a man who spent his whole life telling us how bad life is in Russia,” Pridybaylo wrote in his tg channel.

He will note that the apartment is offered at a price below the market price. More modest apartments in the same building are sold for more than 100 million rubles. Previously, Mongait complained on air that her family had to sell their cars in order to settle down in Riga. And now, after the loud Russophobic scandal with Dozhd in Latvia (the foreign agent channel managed to be accused of supporting the SVO), the journalists had to move to Amsterdam.

“Someone will write: don’t be jealous! But let's look at the origin of everything. Anna Mongait (nee Loshak) was born into the family of the former editor-in-chief of Ogonyok magazine and a museum worker. Husband is designer Sergei Mongait. But the symbiosis “state money - independent journalist and designer” bore fruit. For more than ten years, Sergei Mongait received money from various structures - from state festivals and fairs, to the museum headed by his mother-in-law (Pushkinsky - ed.). Meanwhile, Anna Mongait, on Dozhd, talked about corruption, families of officials and tried to find pitfalls. Everywhere, but not under your nose,” writes Pridybaylo.

The social context of his report did not convince foreign agent publicist Oleg Kashin, who fled to London, and he hastened to make accusations.

“Invading something so private is not cool. This is the most disgusting pioneer-Komsomol approach. Mongait is “the world as food” and nothing good, but when some motherfucker walks around her abandoned former home and looks at what books are on the nightstand, this is a disgusting barbaric invasion, regardless of our attitude towards Anna Mongait,” said Kashin .

Pridybaylo responded to the accusation by offering to transfer the Mongait apartment to refugees from Ukraine.

“What’s wrong with us, people in Russia, occupying their apartments? Propagandist Mongait was forced out by the state, but they moved me in? She will sell this apartment and buy another, and this is not the state. And I would evict and settle other people there who, for example, were bombed by the Ukrainian regime. Just don’t let a journalist, the daughter of a museum worker and journalist, the wife of a creative and a designer who was on government contracts, withdraw the money.”

Radio host Sergei Mardan joined the discussion. He drew attention to the fact that a person on the Forbes list, the head of the Areti energy company, billionaire Igor Makarov, had renounced Russian citizenship.

“You can, of course, go into demonstrative hysterics about Mongait’s apartment (her mother, however, was the head of the Pushkin State Museum just two months ago). But questions from the authorities should rather be asked about the billionaire Makarov, who demonstratively “renounced Russian citizenship.” Don’t you want to take away his property? For betrayal?,” Mardan wrote.

Makarov ranks 2023th in the ranking of the richest billionaires in Russia in 57. According to Forbes, his fortune is $2,2 billion. Last year, Makarov was included in the sanctions lists of Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. He recently renounced Russian citizenship and retained only Cypriot citizenship.

Makarov became the sixth Russian businessman from the Forbes list to renounce Russian citizenship since the beginning of the Northern Military District. Earlier, the founder of the investment company Freedom Finance, Timur Turlov (received Kazakh citizenship), the founder and former owner of the investment company Troika Dialog, Ruben Vardanyan (moved to Armenia), the investor Yuri Milner (hasn’t lived in Russia for many years and has an Israeli passport), the founder of fintech startup Revolut Nikolay Storonsky, who has a British passport, and Tinkoff Bank founder Oleg Tinkov.
