Vasily Yakimenko, head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs ("Rosmolodezh"), and his brother, Boris Yakimenko, a high-ranking functionary of the pro-Kremlin youth movement (“Nashi”), won a libel suit against several mass media and individual journalists. The journalists had accused the Yakimenko brothers of being involved in the creation and Internet publication of hidden-camera videos intended to compromise a number of opposition activists. Among other things, the videos appear to show activists taking drugs, engaging in sexual acts, and offering bribes. A Moscow court found the accusations false and awarded $5,000 in damages to the Yakimenko brothers.
