“Russian WikiLeaks” Publishes “Putin’s Palace” Photos

The Russian “Pirate Party” launched website RuLeaks.net, which is intended to become a Russian analogue of WikiLeaks, and invited users to send in documents related to corruption, concealment of crime, etc. The site has already published a series of photos of a palace on the Black Sea coast allegedly belonging to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and costing an estimated $1 bln. Currently, the site is experiencing technical problems because of a massive DDoS attack. In December, a Russian businessman, Sergey Kolesnikov in an open letter to President Dmitry Medvedev stated that the palace, in the construction of which Kolesnikov participated, was predominantly paid for with money donated by Russian businessmen for Putin’s use. A Putin spokesman dismissed the report saying the building had nothing to do with Putin.
