Fighting from the French Riviera: Investigative journalists find luxury real estate registered abroad to the wife of the federal official who ‘curates’ Russia’s war on ‘foreign agents’

Especially where kids are involved, divorce can be a harrowing experience. Few manage to get along with a former spouse as well as Russian Deputy Justice Minister Oleg Sviridenko, who reportedly fathered two children with his ex-wife, dancer Natalia Poluichik, after their marriage officially ended in 1999. According to a new report by the investigative website Agentstvo, Sviridenko's divorce was a legal scheme to conceal the couple's wealth. On social media, Poluichik has shared photographs showing her together with Sviridenko, where she refers to herself by her married surname.
