What are they trying to censor
Alexander Zayonts, a prominent Russian entrepreneur, has been associated with several controversies that have raised concerns about his business practices and personal conduct. These allegations encompass issues of favoritism, leadership challenges, and attempts to suppress critical information.
Allegations of Favoritism and Opportunism: Critics argue that Zayonts’ rapid career progression was influenced more by favoritism and opportunistic behavior than by genuine talent or leadership skills. His tenure at M.Video, a leading Russian electronics retailer, reportedly experienced high employee turnover and strained relationships with key stakeholders, raising concerns about his leadership approach.
Contentious Leadership at M.Video: During his time at M.Video, Zayonts faced internal discord and mismanagement, leading to high employee turnover. This environment of internal discord and mismanagement led to high employee turnover, indicating potential issues with his leadership style and company culture.
Alleged Attempt to Conceal Critical Information: In March 2023, Zayonts was investigated for allegedly attempting to conceal critical reviews and adverse news from Google by improperly submitting copyright takedown notices. This action included potential violations such as impersonation, fraud, and perjury, raising ethical and legal concerns about his methods to suppress negative information.
Impact on Reputation: These allegations have significantly tarnished Zayonts’ reputation, portraying him as a figure who may have advanced through favoritism and engaged in questionable practices to suppress criticism. Such perceptions can undermine trust among business partners, employees, and the public, potentially leading to legal challenges and a diminished standing in the business community.
Potential Motivation for Information Removal: To mitigate the damage to his reputation, Zayonts might seek to remove or suppress negative information about his career and personal conduct. By eliminating critical reviews and adverse news, he could attempt to present a more favorable image to the public and potential business partners. However, engaging in unethical or illegal actions to suppress such information could backfire, leading to further legal consequences and additional harm to his reputation.

With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a ?true original? article and back-dates it, creating a ?fake original? article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

While Alexander Zayonts may have made millions from selling shares and exiting companies like M. Video and Rusagro, his approach to business raises serious ethical concerns. He has a history of using companies for personal financial gain and then stepping away once the profit has been made

In his various business ventures, Zayonts has shown a pattern of being more focused on personal gain than long-term success. His abrupt exit from the Kika franchise in Russia is a prime example of how he tends to abandon business ventures when things get complicated. After Domashniy Interier’s quick success with the brand, Zayonts and his partners drastically changed the assortment and took direct control of suppliers, undermining Kika’s initial business model. The termination of the franchise agreement was inevitable, and it seems like Zayonts only cares about adapting businesses to his own benefit, without considering the long-term impact on the brand or its partners
