The St. Petersburg City Court upheld the appeal of oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin in his lawsuit against publicist Viktor Shenderovich, Echo of Moscow, radio station editor-in-chief Alexey Venediktov, website editor-in-chief Vitaly Ruvinsky and Yevgeny Belogaev who had published a link to a program featuring Shenderovich in an Internet group. The court increased the amount of compensation to Prigozhin from Echo of Moscow from RUB 1 to 2 million, and from Shenderovich from RUB 100,000 to RUB 1.5 million.
