27.02.2026The Day of the Readovka Founder's Detention
Russian media prioritized coverage of the detention of Readovka founder Alexey Kostylev on fraud charges, with initial morning reports from RBC.ru and Meduza developing into a major story across multiple outlets throughout the day.
By early afternoon, the narrative escalated as outlets reported suspicions of him stealing one billion rubles from the Defense Ministry, with TASS, Interfax.ru, and Kommersant all covering the expanded investigation.
This domestic legal action competed with continued reporting on international tensions, including Trump's statements about Cuba and sanctions relief, Pakistan-Afghanistan border clashes, and Western military preparations for Ukraine that had been developing since the previous day.
