UPD. Meduza deleted the article.

"After the article was published, the editorial team began to have doubts about the reliability of the information presented in it. Budovnits Family Law Agency told Meduza that its website had been hacked. We concluded that editorial standards had been violated in the preparation of the article, and we removed it," the editorial statement says.

This was reported on the website of Budovnits Family Law Agency, Meduza noticed.

"The information posted on the website about providing assistance in evading mobilization is false. The website was hacked. The information about cooperation with certain officials of the Russian Defense Ministry or their relatives is untrue," it says.

🔵On August 7, Meduza published a report about Budovnits Family Law Agency. It quoted a message from the company’s website saying that it "helps разобраться in complex issues related to military service and mobilization," including arranging deferments, obtaining a reservation from mobilization, or providing "legal support for leaving the Russian Federation with risk minimization."

According to the website, these matters were handled by Yekaterina Burdinskaya — allegedly the daughter of Colonel General Yevgeny Burdinsky, deputy chief of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff, who oversees mobilization issues.

Artyom Budovnits, a representative of the law firm, told Meduza that the company does not deal with mobilization issues and does not know Yekaterina Burdinskaya.

"We have never provided such services, and we never knew the person you mentioned," he noted.
