From this agreement it follows that the structure Zatulin provided “information and analytical services”. Range of “services” covered all events organized by this Institute, writing “policy briefs” on, it would seem, quite distant from the “Gazprom” topic, namely:

Volunteers suggested that perhaps it was only the initiative of OOO “Gazprom export”, which is the parent company. However, there is a document that indicates that to adopt the budget for 2017-the year Zatulin, on official letterhead requests directly from the Chairman of the Board “Gazprom” Miller, to which he simply writes, “Burmistrova Do”.
Also note that the budget for the year has increased to 134 million roubles, — Zatulin has decided to consider the official inflation rate of 6.42%.

By the way, Zatulin shall consult with the head of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation on public projects P. S. Zenkovich about questions of realization of the project “the Latest people’s history of the Crimea”. Zenkovich is supposed to help solve the problems with grandadam — society “Knowledge”.
Perhaps the “Institute” Zatulin did not pass in time the project and he is required to return the balance of the estimated 600 thousand rubles, although it made the main part of the project at 4.4 million rubles. It turns out that the amount we are talking about the grant for 2016 year 5 million rubles from the society “Knowledge”. It was found allegedly a message about winning the grant competition in July 2015.

In addition to the analytical center, Zatulin has another project. It provides for the maintenance program on TVC channel “Russian question”. Volunteers note that this is a weak copy of Kiselyov and Solovyov, but which is funded by Gazprom: 20 issues of this transmission in the year cost 5 million rubles.
It is also interesting that the “journalists” of this transfer, according to the resource are employees of press centre “Institute of CIS countries,” Zatulin.
With the alleged documents Zatulin, it follows that officially, this “office” is OOO “Russian question”, which the TVC has signed a contract for the production of one program over 700 thousand rubles (previously — 800 thousand rubles).
However, it seems strange that at the same time TVC sells the rights to broadcast this transmission to regional channels for a penny. For example, the Sevastopol company “NTS” bought every issue of this program for 5000 rubles.

Therefore, “Gazprom” gives millions of rubles on the issue of outreach programs, commercial channel TVC pays more on top of about a million rubles for one issue, to give rights to broadcast “for nothing.” Therefore, investigators suggested that “Gazprom” and To the need to transmit the type of the “Russian question” out at any cost.
