The private Russian pay-TV channel Dozhd (Russian for “rain”) is known for its Kremlin-critical attitude and explosive news revelations. Now the broadcaster, which is also a partner of DW in Russia, has put an ex-boss of the Russian oil company Rosneft, Eduard Khudainatov (pictured above), under its magnifying glass. Reporters from Dozhd believe they have discovered a connection between Khudainatov and organized crime circles, and the tracks lead to St. Petersburg.
