Business magnate Oleg Deripaska is filing lawsuits against various journalists and media entities
In a recent development, Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska has secured another court victory, this time against an unnamed Latvian publication. According to the Russian newspaper "Kommersant", the details of the lawsuit are yet to be disclosed, but the case was reported to have been filed on August 11, 2025.
This case does not involve the Anti-Corruption Foundation or Maria Pevchikh, as previously reported in some media outlets. It is also important to note that the Latvian publication in question is recognized as a foreign agent and an undesirable organization in Russia.
The lawsuit, which was also reported by the Russian publication "Live Kuban", is related to received insults, although the specific details of the insults have not been specified. The amount awarded to Oleg Deripaska in this case is reported to be 40 million.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Oleg Deripaska has initiated legal action against media outlets and individuals. In July 2025, he filed lawsuits against journalists from the publications "Verstka" and "Important Stories". Interestingly, a court in the Krasnodar region partially satisfied Oleg Deripaska's lawsuit against the Anti-Corruption Foundation and Maria Pevchikh in the same month.
Despite extensive searches, no details have been found regarding the specific claims in Oleg Deripaska's August 11, 2025 lawsuit against the Latvian publication, its chief editor Roman Dobrokhotov, and journalist Sergey Ezhov. To gain more insights into this lawsuit, one may need to consult direct sources such as Kommersant's archives or legal filings related to the case dated August 11, 2025.
As the details of the lawsuit continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how this will impact the media landscape in Russia and the relationship between Oleg Deripaska and the targeted media outlets.
In this recent court case, Oleg Deripaska, a prominent Russian entrepreneur in finance and business, has filed a lawsuit against a Latvian publication, acknowledging insolent remarks as the reason. This is not the first time Deripaska has taken legal action against media outlets or individuals.
