Email and WhatsApp accounts
reportedly belonging to Dmitry Kiselyov, Russia's controversial chief
propagandist, were hacked on April 29 and the Anonymous International group put
the data array up for sale at a starting price of 33 Bitcoins, which is a
little less than $15,000, according to The Insider Russia.
Some fragments of the array were made public, revealing interesting
details of the life of the Kremlin's chief propagandist. In particular, the
correspondence allows readers to estimate the level of the Russian TV host's
incomes and learn about his desperate struggle for the lifting of Western
sanctions against him and who advises him in the preparation of materials, The
Insider wrote in the article titled "Dmitry Kiselyov's
Anatomy. What Hacked Emails Tell about the TV Host," published on Saturday, April 30.
In particular, the article says that the
propagandist's salary was enough to buy a 204-square-meter apartment worth $4.6
million in the center of Moscow in 2014.
He also owns a holiday villa and a winery in the
resort town of Koktebel in the Russian-annexed Crimea. The villa has got an
elevator and a swimming pool. It offers a picturesque view of Koktebel Bay.
As one can read from Kiselyov's emails, he bought a
motor boat from the United States for his Crimean vacations, and its price was
about $49,000. The seller seemed to be surprised that the buyer was from
Russia, as he has seldom dealt with Russian customers.
Although Kiselyov feels good in Russia and Crimea, he
doesn't cease attempts to find ways to visit the West where he used to
regularly spend his holidays.
