English audience is not aware of but couple of days a big media conflict is happening between Tinkoff Bank's founder Oleg Tinkov and Russian bloggers. Origins of Conflict starts way back when during one of his Instagram Lives Oleg Tinkoff has done following Expression
-You know those bloggers, they would sell their moms for money.
He said that in context of answer to Russian Blogger who's channel in youtube is this one
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbxcA3kZ_uUYIBHNvxpDQw
and who has stated in one video that he has refused Oleg Tinkoff's offer to advertise his cards because he asked behind the scenes to publicly cut Alpha-Bank's Credit Card and say that he is like going to go to Tinkoff Bank to get the new card.
here is original video, where he is very rude, unprofessional, sounds like under drugs(as people think or say) or drunk and shits out everybody and everything and here he says that all blogers are like hoes and they tend to sell their moms for money.
This made many Russian Bloggers angry. And many have raised reasonable questions in regard to Tinkoff Bank's Credit Card offerings. A lot of bloggers start speak out about the fact that Tinkoff Bank advertises it's Platinum Card
as a Debit one, but in reality it has cabbalistic percentage when you buy something with credit line , which in the ends can cost upto 75% yearly plus it's very hard to close the card. You will have to pass a very long process to close it.
Also there are a lot of videos people complaigning about the fact that when you don't pay the credit in time, Tinkoff Bank is sending sms messages with threatening context or sell your debt to collectors.
Also another story here in russian
https://pikabu.ru/story/politsiya_zaderzhala_studentku_izza_dolga_tinkoffbanku_v_30_tyis_rubley_5341150
brings out the fact that Tinkoff Bank is paying police officers took at night a student girl from her dorm to police department to police department and threatened her to pay back the credit .
So after Mr.Tinkoff has insulted all bloggers people started to speak out about all the problems and things happening arround the Tinkoff Bank. But things did not escalate as much untill something happen. Duo students naming them Nemagia ( Aleksey Pskovitin and his friend ) made following parody video
which apparently shows all the tragedy and comedy of Mr. Tinkoff everywhere speaking about Mr. Gref who is like head of Alpha Bank and trying to pay a blogger to cut the card of Alpha Bank and saying that he moves to Tinkoff Bank.
13 of September from Moscow, from Petrovka 38, a famous police station, which is like for top crime deals or whatsoever to Aleksey Pskvotins flat came a group of officers and saying that he is witness for a court case about Slander has searched apartment and confiscated equipment and HDD of the PC . It was obvious to all society that the visit was "sponsored" , because the codex part about slandery is lately decriminalized and in whole Russia's history only maybe 2ce a whitness's flat is shakedown of apartment of a whitness but not a person who is claimed to be guilty happenes by police officers super rare and tends to be kind of not processually legal too. So people get angry and crazy.
22 of September at Court in Moscow where Aleksey Pskovitins came his status was changed from "witness" to "Accused" .
Escalation is continuing. Many blogers have terminated their ad agreements with Tinkoff Bank. 1000s of angry comments are under each video, and people are massively cutting their Tinkoff Cards
