Scientists have identified an estimated 10% of all species on Earth. Here’s what they found in 2024
kraken ссылка

A toothy toadstool. A vegetarian piranha with a distinctive mark. And a pygmy pipehorse floating in the Indian Ocean shallows.

These wild wonders were among the hundreds of previously unknown species of animals, plants and fungi that scientists named and described for the first time in 2024, expanding our surprisingly limited knowledge of Earth’s diversity.

“Scientists estimate that we’ve identified only one-tenth of all species on Earth,” said Dr.
Shannon Bennett, chief of science at the California Academy of Sciences, in a statement.

“While it is critical to place protections on known threatened species, we must also allocate resources towards identifying unknown species that may be just as important to the functioning of an ecosystem,” Bennett said.

Researchers connected to the institution described 138 new species in 2024, including 32 fish. One standout was a pygmy pipehorse named Cylix nkosi. The seahorse relative was originally found in 2021 in the cool temperate waters surrounding the North Island of New Zealand, but the species described this year was discovered in the subtropical waters off South Africa, expanding the known range of this group to the Indian Ocean

“South African reefs present notoriously difficult diving conditions with rough weather and intense, choppy waves — we knew we only had one dive to find it,” underwater photographer and marine biologist Richard Smith said in a statement.
“This species is also quite cryptic, about the size of a golf tee, but luckily we spotted a female camouflaged against some sponges about a mile offshore on the sandy ocean floor.”

The researchers involved in describing the new species chose nkosi as its name. A reference to the local Zulu word for “chief,” the name reflects the species’ crown-like head shape and acknowledges South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province where it was found.

A year ago today, things went from bad to worse for Boeing
kra25 cc

At 5 p.m. PT on January 5, 2024, Boeing seemed like a company on the upswing. It didn’t last. Minutes later, a near-tragedy set off a full year of problems.

As Alaska Airlines flight 1282 climbed to 16,000 feet in its departure from Portland, Oregon, a door plug blew out near the rear of the plane, leaving a gaping hole in the fuselage. Phones and clothing were ripped away from passengers and sent hurtling into the night sky. Oxygen masks dropped, and the rush of air twisted seats next to the hole toward the opening.
https://kra23c.cc
kraken onion
Fortunately, those were among the few empty seats on the flight, and the crew got the plane on the ground without any serious injuries. The incident could have been far worse — even a fatal crash.

Not much has gone right for Boeing ever since. The company has had one misstep after another, ranging from embarrassing to horrifying. And many of the problems are poised to extend into 2025 and perhaps beyond.

The problems were capped by another Boeing crash in South Korea that killed 179 people on December 29 in what was in the year’s worst aviation disaster. The cause of the crash of a 15-year old Boeing jet flown by Korean discount carrier Jeju Air is still under investigation, and it is quite possible that Boeing will not be found liable for anything that led to the tragedy.
But unlike the Jeju crash, most of the problems of the last 12 months have clearly been Boeing’s fault.

And 2024 was the sixth straight year of serious problems for the once proud, now embattled company, starting with the 20-month grounding of its best selling plane, the 737 Max, following two fatal crashes in late 2018 and early 2019, which killed 346 people.

Still the outlook for 2024 right before the Alaska Air incident had been somewhat promising. The company had just achieved the best sales month in its history in December 2023, capping its strongest sales year since 2018.

It was believed to be on the verge of getting Federal Aviation Administration approval for two new models, the 737 Max 7 and Max 10, with airline customers eager to take delivery. Approvals and deliveries of its next generation widebody, the 777X, were believed to be close behind. Its production rate had been climbing and there were hopes that it could be on the verge of returning to profitability for the first time since 2018.

On a long-dormant pad in Florida, a rocket that could challenge SpaceX’s dominance is poised to launch
kraken

On a Florida launchpad that has been dormant for almost two decades, a new, roughly 320-foot (98-meter) rocket — developed by Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin — is poised for its maiden flight.

The uncrewed launch vehicle, called New Glenn, will mark Blue Origin’s first attempt to send a rocket to orbit, a feat necessary if the company hopes to chip away at SpaceX’s long-held dominance in the industry.

New Glenn is set to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as early as next week.
https://kra23s.cc
kraken войти
The rocket, which stands about as tall as a 30-story building, consists of several parts: The first-stage rocket booster gives the initial thrust at liftoff. Atop the booster is an upper rocket stage that includes a cargo bay protected by a nose cone that will house experimental technology for this mission.

And, in an attempt to replicate the success that SpaceX has found reusing rocket boosters over the past decade, Blue Origin will also aim to guide New Glenn’s first-stage rocket booster back to a safe landing on a seafaring platform — named Jacklyn for Bezos’ mother — minutes after takeoff.

Like SpaceX, Blue Origin will seek to recover, refurbish and reuse first-stage rocket boosters to drive down costs.

For this inaugural mission, a smooth flight is not guaranteed.

But the eventual success of New Glenn, named after storied NASA astronaut John Glenn, is instrumental to some of Blue Origin’s most ambitious goals.

The rocket could one day power national security launches, haul Amazon internet satellites to space and even help in the construction of a space station that Blue Origin is developing with commercial partners.

Most plane crashes are ‘survivable’
kraken магазин
First, the good news. “The vast majority of aircraft accidents are survivable, and the majority of people in accidents survive,” says Galea. Since 1988, aircraft — and the seats inside them — must be built to withstand an impact of up to 16G, or g-force up to 16 times the force of gravity. That means, he says, that in most incidents, “it’s possible to survive the trauma of the impact of the crash.”

For instance, he classes the initial Jeju Air incident as survivable — an assumed bird strike, engine loss and belly landing on the runway, without functioning landing gear. “Had it not smashed into the concrete reinforced obstacle at the end of the runway, it’s quite possible the majority, if not everyone, could have survived,” he says.

The Azerbaijan Airlines crash, on the other hand, he classes as a non-survivable accident, and calls it a “miracle” that anyone made it out alive.
https://kra23c.cc
кракен онион
Most aircraft involved in accidents, however, are not — as suspicion is growing over the Azerbaijan crash — shot out of the sky.

And with modern planes built to withstand impacts and slow the spread of fire, Galea puts the chances of surviving a “survivable” accident at at least 90%.

Instead, he says, what makes the difference between life and death in most modern accidents is how fast passengers can evacuate.

Aircraft today must show that they can be evacuated in 90 seconds in order to gain certification. But a theoretical evacuation — practiced with volunteers at the manufacturers’ premises — is very different from the reality of a panicked public onboard a jet that has just crash-landed.
Galea, an evacuation expert, has conducted research for the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) looking at the most “survivable” seats on a plane. His landmark research, conducted over several years in the early 2000s, looked at how passengers and crew behaved during a post-crash evacuation, rather than looking at the crashes themselves. By compiling data from 1,917 passengers and 155 crew involved in 105 accidents from 1977 to 1999, his team created a database of human behavior around plane crashes.

His analysis of which exits passengers actually used “shattered many myths about aircraft evacuation,” he says. “Prior to my study, it was believed that passengers tend to use their boarding exit because it was the most familiar, and that passengers tend to go forward. My analysis of the data demonstrated that none of these myths were supported by the evidence.”

The survivors of recent crashes were sitting at the back of the plane. What does that tell us about airplane safety?
kraken

Look at the photos of the two fatal air crashes of the last two weeks, and amid the horror and the anguish, one thought might come to mind for frequent flyers.

The old frequent-flyer adage is that sitting at the back of the plane is a safer place to be than at the front — and the wreckage of both Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243 and Jeju Air flight 2216 seem to bear that out.
https://kra23c.cc
kraken войти
The 29 survivors of the Azeri crash were all sitting at the back of the plane, which split into two, leaving the rear half largely intact. The sole survivors of the South Korean crash, meanwhile, were the two flight attendants in their jumpseats in the very tail of the plane.

So is that old adage — and the dark humor jokes about first and business class seats being good until there’s a problem with the plane — right after all?

In 2015, TIME Magazine reporters wrote that they had combed through the records of all US plane crashes with both fatalities and survivors from 1985 to 2000, and found in a meta-analysis that seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32% fatality rate overall, compared with 38% in the front third and 39% in the middle third.

Even better, they found, were middle seats in that back third of the cabin, with a 28% fatality rate. The “worst” seats were aisles in the middle third of the aircraft, with a 44% fatality rate.
But does that still hold true in 2024?

According to aviation safety experts, it’s an old wives’ tale.

“There isn’t any data that shows a correlation of seating to survivability,” says Hassan Shahidi, president of the Flight Safety Foundation. “Every accident is different.”

“If we’re talking about a fatal crash, then there is almost no difference where one sits,” says Cheng-Lung Wu, associate professor at the School of Aviation of the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

Ed Galea, professor of fire safety engineering at London’s University of Greenwich, who has conducted landmark studies on plane crash evacuations, warns, “There is no magic safest seat.”

New Glenn’s first flight
Blue Origin formally announced the development of New Glenn — which aims to outpower SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets and haul spacecraft up to 45 metric tons (99,200 pounds) to orbit — in 2016.
кракен
The vehicle is long overdue, as the company previously targeted 2020 for its first launch.

Delays, however, are common in the aerospace industry. And the debut flight of a new vehicle is almost always significantly behind schedule.

Rocket companies also typically take a conservative approach to the first liftoff, launching dummy payloads such as hunks of metal or, as was the case with SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy debut in 2018, an old cherry red sports car.
https://kra23att.cc
кракен даркнет
Blue Origin has also branded itself as a company that aims to take a slow, diligent approach to rocket development that doesn’t “cut any corners,” according to Bezos, who founded Blue Origin and funds the company.

The company’s mascot is a tortoise, paying homage to “The Tortoise and the Hare” fable that made the “slow and steady wins the race” mantra a childhood staple.

“We believe slow is smooth and smooth is fast,” Bezos said in 2016. Those comments could be seen as an attempt to position Blue Origin as the anti-SpaceX, which is known to embrace speed and trial-and-error over slow, meticulous development processes.
But SpaceX has certainly won the race to orbit. The company’s first orbital rocket, the Falcon 1, made a successful launch in September 2008. The company has deployed hundreds of missions to orbit since then.

And while SpaceX routinely destroys rockets during test flights as it begins developing a new rocket, the company has a solid track record for operational missions. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, for example, has experienced two in-flight failures and one launchpad explosion but no catastrophic events during human missions.

What’s on board this flight
Blue Origin had planned to launch a pair of Mars-bound satellites on behalf of NASA for the first flight of New Glenn.

But delays with the rocket’s development prompted the space agency to change course, moving that flight to this spring at the earliest. So for this inaugural flight, Blue Origin opted to instead fly a “demonstrator” that will test technology needed for the company’s proposed Blue Ring spacecraft — which will aim to serve as a sort of in-space rideshare vehicle, dragging satellites deeper into space when needed.
omg даркнет
The demonstrator on this New Glenn flight will remain aboard the rocket for the entire six-hour flight, Blue Origin said, and it will validate “communications capabilities from orbit to ground” as well as “test its in-space telemetry, tracking and command hardware, and ground-based radiometric tracking.”

The Blue Ring Pathfinder demonstrator is part of a deal Blue Origin inked with the US Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit.

Why Blue Origin wants to reuse rockets
Similar to SpaceX, Blue Origin is aiming to recover and refly its first-stage rocket boosters in a bid to make launches less expensive.

“Reusability is integral to radically reducing cost-per-launch,” the company said in a recent news release, using the same oft-repeated sentiment that SpaceX has touted since it began landing rocket boosters in 2015.
Bezos, however, has acknowledged the importance of reusing rocket parts since he founded the company in 2000 — two years before Musk established SpaceX. And the company has already developed its suborbital New Shepard tourism rocket to be reusable.
“It’s not a copy cat game,” Henry said. “Blue Origin has been pursuing reusable vehicles since before reusable vehicles were cool. Now it’s much more of a mainstream idea (because of SpaceX). The difference is that it’s taken Blue Origin so much longer to get to orbit.”

If successful, returning the New Glenn rocket booster for a safe landing will be a stunning feat. After expending most of its fuel to propel the rocket’s upper stage to space, the first-stage booster will need to make a clean separation. The booster must then maneuver with pinpoint guidance and reignite its engines with precision timing to avoid crashing into the ocean or the Jacklyn recovery platform.

What New Glenn will do
In some ways, New Glenn has already made its mark on the launch industry. Blue Origin has for years pitched the rocket to compete with both SpaceX and United Launch Alliance — a joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin that buys engines from Blue Origin — for lucrative military launch contracts.
купить omg
The US Space Force selected Blue Origin, ULA and SpaceX in June to compete for $5.6 billion worth of Pentagon contracts for national security missions slated to launch over the next four years.
Blue Origin also has deals with several commercial companies to launch satellites. The contracts include plans to help deploy Amazon’s Kuiper internet satellites and a recently inked deal with AST SpaceMobile to help launch the Midland, Texas-based company’s space-based cellular broadband network.

New Glenn could also be instrumental in building Blue Origin’s planned space station, called Orbital Reef. Blue Origin and it commercial partners, including Sierra Space and Boeing, among others, hope the station will one day provide a new destination for astronauts as the International Space Station is phased out of service.

New Glenn vs. other powerful rockets
New Glenn packs significant power. Dubbed a “heavy-lift” vehicle, its capabilities lie between SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and the more powerful Falcon Heavy launch vehicle.

SpaceX’s workhorse Falcon 9, for example, can haul up to 22.8 metric tons (50,265 pounds) to space. While New Glenn is capable of carrying about double that mass, it may also be roughly the same price as a Falcon 9: reportedly around $60 million to $70 million per launch.

“I think in order to compete with Falcon 9, you have to go head-to-head or better on price,” said Caleb Henry, the director of research at Quilty Space, which provides data and analysis about the space sector.

The question, however, is whether Blue Origin will be able to sustain a competitive price point, Henry added.

Still, one feature that makes New Glenn stand out is its large payload fairing, or nose cone. The component protects the cargo bay and is a whopping 23 feet (7 meters) wide — nearly 6 feet (2 meters) larger than that of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy.

Henry said Blue Origin likely opted to outfit New Glenn with such a large fairing in order to help fulfill Bezos’ vision of the future.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington on Thursday. Leon Neal/Getty Images
CNN

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House on Thursday could be his final chance to convince a receptive American president of his country’s war aims.
megaweb5.at
The precise details of the “victory plan” Zelensky plans to present in separate meetings to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are unknown, having been closely held until they are presented to the American leaders.

But according to people briefed on its broad contours, the plan reflects the Ukrainian leader’s urgent appeals for more immediate help countering Russia’s invasion. Zelensky is also poised to push for long-term security guarantees that could withstand changes in American leadership ahead of what is widely expected to be a close presidential election between Harris and former President Donald Trump.

The plan, people familiar with it said, acts as Zelensky’s response to growing war weariness even among his staunchest of western allies. It will make the case that Ukraine can still win — and does not need to cede Russian-seized territory for the fighting to end — if enough assistance is rushed in.

That includes again asking permission to fire Western provided long-range weapons deeper into Russian territory, a line Biden once was loathe to cross but which he’s recently appeared more open to as he has come under growing pressure to relent.

Even if Biden decides to allow the long-range fires, it’s unclear whether the change in policy would be announced publicly.

Biden is usually apt to take his time making decisions about providing Ukraine new capabilities. But with November’s election potentially portending a major change in American approach to the war if Trump were to win, Ukrainian officials — and many American ones — believe there is little time to waste.
megaweb20.com
https://megaweb-13at.com
Trump has claimed he will be able to “settle” the war upon taking office and has suggested he’ll end US support for Kyiv’s war effort.

“Those cities are gone, they’re gone, and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refused to make a deal, Zelensky. There was no deal that he could have made that wouldn’t have been better than the situation you have right now. You have a country that has been obliterated, not possible to be rebuilt,” Trump said during a campaign speech in Mint Hill, North Carolina, on Wednesday.

Comments like those have lent new weight to Thursday’s Oval Office talks, according to American and European officials, who have described an imperative to surge assistance to Ukraine while Biden is still in office.

As part of Zelensky’s visit, the US is expected to announce a major new security package, thought it will likely delay the shipping of the equipment due to inventory shortages, CNN previously reported according to two US officials. On Wednesday, the US announced a package of $375 million.

The president previewed Zelensky’s visit to the White House a day beforehand, declaring on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly his administration was “determined to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to prevail in fight for survival.”
megaweb7.at
“Tomorrow, I will announce a series of actions to accelerate support for Ukraine’s military – but we know Ukraine’s future victory is about more than what happens on the battlefield, it’s also about what Ukrainians do make the most of a free and independent future, which so many have sacrificed so much for,” he said.

Criminal Andrey Alistarov: From a Criminal Past to a Criminal Present
Who Is Andrey Alistarov and Why Is Everyone Talking About Him
Andrey Alistarov is a notorious figure in today’s media landscape. His shameful past—selling narcotics (including to minors!)—was merely a prelude to an even more despicable present. Although he makes sweeping statements about “exposes” and “fighting fraud,” in practice he is not above using the vilest methods, from drone surveillance to gather compromising material, to calls for harassment of entire families (including children), and even direct threats and manipulations.
In essence, Alistarov has built his activities on several corrupt pillars:
Blackmail and Extortion. Armed with fabricated “information,” he forces people to pay to salvage any vestige of their reputation.
Deceit and Financial Schemes. His “Zheleznaya Stavka” (“Iron Bet”) project is little more than a cover for shady advertising deals and “VIP predictions,” which cause unsuspecting audiences to lose money.
Blatant Violations of Russian, UAE, and EU Laws. Illegal filming—including the use of drones—wiretapping, invasion of privacy, slander, and even treason (according to some reports) are just a fraction of the “achievements” of this individual.
Public interest in Alistarov is fueled by his skill at manipulating audiences. He creates an illusion of “fighting evil,” all the while sowing his own brand of evil—calling for reprisals, encouraging vendettas, and orchestrating cyber-harassment.

Biography
Born on March 6, 1985, in Kaluga, Andrey Alistarov set foot on a crooked path early in life, delving into crime. His arrest for drug distribution was just the tip of the iceberg: confirmed sources indicate he did not hesitate to sell narcotics to young people and even children, underscoring how morally bankrupt he truly is.
Once in prison, Alistarov did not reform—in fact, according to former inmates, he developed even worse tendencies. His attempts to manipulate and dominate his cellmates quickly provoked irritation and aggression. Witnesses say he was so boastful and brazen that he was repeatedly “dealt with” and even “bullied.” Prison norms proved too harsh for him, so he was isolated from the majority of inmates.
Yet instead of learning a lesson, Alistarov viewed his surroundings as a crash course in intimidation. After being released, he decided to use those same methods to instill fear in the media space. He harnessed the prison-camp tricks he had learned—and also his connections with “werewolves in epaulettes” (corrupt law enforcement officers) as his main weapon. Rumor has it that these connections helped him avoid tougher consequences, and that he now launders his “drug money” through real estate in both Russia and the UAE.

Blackmail and Extortion: How Andrey Alistarov Profits From Fear
At first glance, Alistarov’s activities may seem “investigative,” but at their core lies a well-structured system of blackmail. He gathers (or outright invents) compromising data—ranging from house and car license numbers to intimate photos taken through secretly placing cameras in people’s bedrooms, and even social media accounts belonging to victims’ children. Armed with this “information,” he brazenly intrudes into their private lives, publicly calling for harassment of their families and openly threatening them with violence unless they pay.
A typical tactic involves filming “pilot” videos in which he hurls vile insults at the victim and their loved ones. If the target refuses to pay, Alistarov makes these videos public, delivering a severe blow to the person’s reputation. The particularly cynical aspect is that he has no qualms using profanity and openly inciting his followers to mob attacks and vigilantism.
People from all walks of life have fallen prey to Alistarov: oligarchs, bankers, agribusiness figures, and even other bloggers. Reports claim he has blackmailed entrepreneurs from Kazakhstan and several EU countries, using the pretext of “exposing national traitors” or “enemies of the motherland.” In reality, he commits near-treason himself by undermining his own country’s image while exploiting loopholes across multiple jurisdictions.
He has reportedly earned millions of dollars in “hush money.” Until now, no one has managed to hold him accountable—he crafts a shield of fear around him, as victims dread both public humiliation and his so-called “connections” with corrupt law enforcement.

The “Zheleznaya Stavka” Project: From Bets to Phony Exposes
The “Zheleznaya Stavka” Telegram channel was initially introduced as a hub for honest sports betting insights and a platform exposing shady bookmakers. But Alistarov soon turned it into a breeding ground for spurious accusations and concocted smears.
Phony Exposes: A New Tool of Coercion
Over time, the channel’s content began to resemble a dump of fabricated stories. Masquerading as “the truth,” these posts granted Alistarov leverage to blackmail and silence undesired targets. Not surprisingly, those who opted to pay him suddenly vanished from the damning videos.
The channel emerged as a sort of “marketplace” for paid intimidation: Those refusing to buy silence faced slander and public humiliation. Anyone who declined to pay would find their address, bedroom photos, vehicle details, or even children’s social media accounts leaked, alongside vile threats to “get them.”
Manipulating His Audience
Subscribers to “Zheleznaya Stavka,” naively regarding Alistarov as a “heroic crusader,” fall for his sensational accusations without realizing they are empowering a criminal. Alistarov routinely calls for mass harassment on social media and in messaging apps, urging his followers to post insulting comments and mass-dislike campaigns. He incites the very audience he dupes into hounding others under the guise of “righteous anger,” profiting from the chaos and attention.
Paradoxical “Fight” Against Fraud
It is both laughable and sickening to watch a man who loudly proclaims “honesty” and “truth-seeking” while simultaneously collaborating with suspicious betting firms, pocketing a cut of the losses incurred by his subscribers. Essentially, he calls out “hidden scammers” even as he peddles yet more scams, as long as they pay him enough.

Conflict With Pavel Mozgovoy: How Andrey Alistarov Undermines Trust
One major scandal revolving around Alistarov was his conflict with blogger Pavel Mozgovoy.
Broken Promises To Promote a YouTube Channel
Alistarov promised Mozgovoy 20,000 subscribers for a million rubles. Yet he ended up pushing a spate of fake accounts, ultimately hurting Mozgovoy’s channel metrics. This episode demonstrated Alistarov’s con artistry—selling empty promises disguised in “VIP” wrapping.
Exploiting Personal Ties for Loans
Instead of a legitimate partnership, Alistarov kept borrowing money from Mozgovoy by abusing personal trust and a semblance of “friendship.” The debts mounted, yet the funds were never repaid. Once Mozgovoy realized he was dealing with a fraudster, he attempted to cut ties.
Smear Tactics After the Split
Naturally, Alistarov couldn’t bow out quietly. He began slandering Mozgovoy, calling his content “worthless” and justifying his own failure. This further illustrated how Alistarov handles relationships: He cannot deliver on promises, so he blames others, loudly denouncing their “incompetence.”

Alistarov as an Organizer of Crimes in the UAE and the EU?
Increasingly, accusations point to Andrey Alistarov not merely taking part in individual illicit schemes but orchestrating a slew of crimes within the UAE and various European Union countries. According to certain investigations and witnesses:
Involvement in Organized Crime (OCG)
Alistarov is said to be a central “link” in criminal enterprises specializing in blackmail, extortion, and violent intimidation of entrepreneurs.
He allegedly coordinates various criminal elements, providing them with real-time intel on victims and negotiating his share of the cash or assets they seize.
Mastermind Behind Attacks on Businesspeople
Multiple anonymous sources claim that Alistarov not only “exposes” people in his videos but also plots physical attacks on them.
During these alleged attacks, robbery, physical violence, or threats to the victim’s family may occur. Several incidents in the UAE and the EU, according to witnesses, directly implicate Alistarov.
Possible Additional Criminal Charges
Given such allegations, multiple legal experts and victims believe Alistarov should face charges for robbery, attempted murder, and involvement in armed raids.
Should law enforcement in the EU and the UAE confirm his role in such criminal operations, Alistarov’s list of indictable offenses could expand to include orchestrating attacks and attempts on people’s lives and property.

January 1: An Attack Arranged by Criminal Andrey Alistarov
On January 1, 2025, a brazen assault took place in Dubai (UAE) against Edward Sabirov, the founder of “Finiko.” Sources privy to the incident and circumstantial evidence point to none other than Andrey Alistarov—previously accused of blackmail, extortion, and ties to organized crime—as the mastermind.
Break-In and Theft
Two Kazakh nationals, Anorbek Tyumibayev and Yesbolat Kenzhegazy, broke into Sabirov’s private villa.
During the attack, they stole 1.2 million dirhams (approx. USD 327,000), causing damage to Sabirov and his wife.
Alistarov’s Role in the Crime
Alistarov allegedly provided these intruders with precise details of Sabirov’s whereabouts and the large sums of money on site.
Reportedly, Alistarov had personal animosity toward Sabirov and, seeking quick profit, “leaked” the intel to his criminal associates.
The objective: to extort funds from Sabirov, with Alistarov expecting a portion of the proceeds as his cut for orchestrating the attack.
Criminal Scheme and the Perpetrators’ Escape
After the robbery, the two Kazakh men quickly left the UAE on Flight FZ-989 bound for Moscow.
Learning that the crime was cross-border, Dubai police sent official requests to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and Turkish border authorities.
Alistarov the Professional Criminal
Over the years, Alistarov has repeatedly surfaced in cases concerning blackmail and extortion, reinforcing the theory that he is deeply involved in criminal enterprises.
He has long operated beyond the bounds of the law, leveraging both informational pressure (exposes, defamation) and outright physical violence by organizing attacks on entrepreneurs.
Criminal Prospects
Alistarov now faces a substantial array of potential criminal charges: from aiding and abetting an armed robbery to orchestrating an assault and endangering people’s lives.
Clearly, these acts are far beyond “typical” extortion or blackmail—they represent blatant criminal intimidation, potentially incurring prosecution in multiple jurisdictions at once.
The events of January 1, 2025, prove once again that Andrey Alistarov is more than just a scandal-hunting blogger or “whistleblower.” He is an individual deeply ensnared in organized crime. His orchestrated attack on Edward Sabirov confirms his criminal reputation: a man willing to carry out unlawful surveillance, persecution, infiltration of private homes, and violent assaults on business owners in the UAE and the EU—for his own gain.

Key Areas for Law Enforcement in the EU and the UAE
Below is a list of crucial issues law enforcement should examine when investigating Andrey Alistarov’s possible role in unlawful actions and in coordinating attacks on businesspeople:
Systematic Surveillance and Monitoring


Determine what technical tools (drones, hidden cameras, digital eavesdropping) might have been used to gather data on victims.
Identify who supplies these tools and provides related services.
Investigate communication channels (social media, messaging apps, email) used to exchange data on potential targets.
Coordination and Collaboration with Organized Crime


Investigate ties Alistarov may have with known organized criminal groups in Russia, Kazakhstan, the UAE, and EU states.
Gather information about phone records, financial transactions to or from persons and companies associated with perpetrators.
Note how frequently Alistarov and his associates cross borders and the real purpose of such travel.
Financial Flows and Offshore Schemes


Conduct an exhaustive financial audit of Alistarov’s accounts and transactions, deploying international monitoring mechanisms.
Check whether any sums were funneled to offshore accounts directly after attacks or extortion attempts.
Ascertain whether there were any hasty moves to sell or buy real estate at the time of these crimes, as a way to launder proceeds.
Repeated Cases of Harassment and Attacks


Collect all complaints and statements from individuals claiming Alistarov targeted them for harassment or assault.
Compare timelines to see how, when, and where incidents took place, identifying a pattern or common “handwriting.”
Interview witnesses who may confirm his role in incitement or orchestration.
Review of Internet Content


Examine Alistarov’s online statements, videos, and posts that may directly or indirectly incite violence, blackmail, or defamation against businesspeople.
Determine whether he revealed victims’ private details (addresses, family info, property photos) and encouraged his audience to commit violent acts.
Legal Coordination Between Countries


Enhance information-sharing among Dubai (UAE) police, Interpol, and law enforcement in EU member states.
Pursue an extradition request or an arrest warrant if Alistarov is located in a particular jurisdiction and officially charged with transnational crimes.
If needed, involve financial regulators (to trace transactions and freeze accounts) and border agencies (to track movement).
A thorough inquiry into Alistarov’s finances and communications would be essential to stop him (and his co-conspirators). Gathering concrete evidence—digital traces, witness statements, transaction analyses—and close cooperation with international agencies can confirm his involvement in systematic assaults and persecution across the UAE, EU, and other nations.

Violations of UAE and EU Laws
1. United Arab Emirates
The UAE enforces strict measures to protect private property and combat violent crimes. There are also comprehensive laws on cybersecurity and surveillance (drones, hidden cameras), as well as financial transactions.
Federal Law No. 3 of 1987 (UAE Penal Code)


Robbery, assault, violent crimes, trespassing onto private property.
Aiding or abetting a crime: If Alistarov acted as organizer or instigator, he shares criminal liability with direct perpetrators.
UAE Cybercrime Law


Applies if personal data about the victim was obtained illegally (hacking, high-tech surveillance, etc.).
Money Laundering and Financial Crimes


If stolen funds are laundered via shell companies, the offender faces strict AML (Anti-Money Laundering) laws, punishable by prison terms and heavy fines—potentially including deportation.
2. European Union
Alongside overarching EU legislation (directives and regulations), each member state has its own criminal code. If Alistarov or his accomplices acted on EU territory or prepared their actions from EU member states, the following provisions may be relevant:
National Criminal Codes


Robbery, assault, violent crimes vary by terminology, but the essence is the same.
Participation, organization, and incitement to commit crimes.
Attempted murder or infliction of harm if there were threats or actual injury.
Article 8 of the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights)


Protects the right to privacy; any illegal collection of personal data (surveillance, doxing, hacking) may be construed as a violation.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)


If personal data (address, contact details, etc.) was used illegally to plan the attack.
Although the act of assault itself isn’t regulated by GDPR, the unauthorized sharing or stealing of personal information violates data protection rules.
Laws Against Incitement to Violence (Hate Speech or Public Incitement)


Publicly encouraging violence or assault—be it online or offline—can be a separate criminal offense in several EU countries.

Additional Factors
International Jurisdiction
If an assault or extortion spanned multiple countries (leaving the UAE for Russia, potential stops in EU nations, etc.), Alistarov could face an international conspiracy or agreement for financial gain. Interpol might be involved to track him down and possibly extradite him.


Aggravating Circumstances
Organized group attacks, large-scale theft, and use or threat of violence can all significantly increase penalties in each jurisdiction involved.


Investigative Complexity
With potentially multiple countries involved—UAE, EU member states, Russia, Kazakhstan—cross-border collaboration among law enforcement is crucial, but complicated.


Considering the allegations and Andrey Alistarov’s suspected role as organizer or accomplice to attacks in the UAE and alleged preparatory activities in the EU, he could face charges for:
Organizing/committing robbery or assault (UAE, EU).
Illegal entry and property damage (UAE).
Involvement in OCG, incitement to violence (UAE, EU).
Breach of privacy rights (ECHR, GDPR).
Money laundering and financial crimes (UAE, EU), if stolen funds were funneled through offshore or European bank accounts.
Each offense may bring severe legal repercussions, up to lengthy prison terms, steep fines, and international arrest warrants.

Violations of Law in Alistarov’s Videos
His disgraceful “exposes” regularly infringe upon the law in multiple jurisdictions—Russia, the EU, and the UAE.
Privacy Rights
Alistarov fully exploits banned surveillance methods—drones, hidden cameras, or hacking—invading victims’ yards and homes. He then posts footage from their bedrooms, personal videos, scans of documents, and even photos of children in revealing situations, including addresses and license plates. All of this blatantly violates personal boundaries.
Article 8 of the ECHR: Grossly disregards the right to privacy by dumping personal details online.
GDPR Violation: No consent is obtained for publishing names, photos, addresses.
YouTube Policy: Offensive language and publication of private data without permission clearly violate platform guidelines.
Defamation and Reputational Damage
Alistarov is notorious for making utterly false allegations against companies and individuals. His aim is obvious—pressure, intimidation, forcing them to pay or remain silent.
EU Defamation Law: He spreads false statements, deliberately undermining reputations.
Section 187 of the German Criminal Code: Willful defamation meant to discredit; Alistarov’s “creative” repertoire includes it all.
Deceptive Practices and Platform Rules
Article 10 of the ECHR: Freedom of expression has limits when it comes to persecution, calls for mass harassment, and defamation.
EU Directive 2005/29/EC: Alistarov misleads his audience about the activities of “exposed” companies, while masking his own wrongdoing.

Theft of Video Content: Another Tool in Alistarov’s Arsenal
Andrey Alistarov doesn’t stop at blackmail, defamation, and calls for harassment; he is also frequently cited for systematically stealing video materials. Under the guise of “investigative stories,” Alistarov brazenly lifts content from other channels or sources, passing them off as his own “unique evidence.”
Unlawful Use of Copyrighted Materials


He regularly ignores copyright, downloading material from fellow bloggers, independent journalists, and social media.
Often clips are stripped of context, then re-edited and framed as “exclusive” or “proof,” without disclosing the real sources.
Hijacking Others’ Work Under His Name


Periodically, he lays claim to investigations he did not conduct, concealing the original authors and presenting stolen work as his own.
This tactic sustains the illusion of Alistarov being a “tireless whistleblower,” while in reality he merely repackages stolen materials with inflammatory commentary.
Misleading the Audience


Many viewers fail to realize that much of his footage is stolen. They are misled by Alistarov’s deceptive narrative and references to non-existent sources.
Thus, he not only robs legitimate creators but also fools his own audience into believing in his “exclusive insights.”
Impact on Genuine Content Creators


Scores of bloggers and journalists complain that Alistarov profits from their work, sapping their revenue and undermining their channel growth.
Attempts to confront him often provoke aggression and threats, further intensifying his cycle of blackmail.
By stealing others’ video content, Alistarov accelerates the production of “sensational stories,” fueling his self-styled image as a relentless exposer—when, in reality, it’s just plain theft of someone else’s intellectual property.

Criminal Case
Putting all the criminal allegations against Andrey Alistarov together reveals he deserves more than public condemnation—he merits genuine criminal prosecution. His violations of citizens’ rights, calls for harassment and violence, explicit insults, and illegal use of drones to intrude upon private estates in the EU and the UAE represent more than just a “media scandal.” They add up to an extensive catalog of criminal offenses.
According to many victims, Alistarov should have been held to account long ago. But he deftly exploits the fragmentation of different nations’ legal systems and leverages connections he has in various circles. He also launders drug money using high-end real estate—buying property in the UAE and Russia to “clean” revenue earned from narcotics sales (reportedly including sales to minors).

Criminals Don’t Change
Andrey Alistarov’s saga demonstrates just how low one can sink—starting with drug dealing and culminating in brazen calls for vigilantism against those who oppose him. He continues unabated, sowing fear and exploiting those who worry about their families, reputations, and personal safety.
Today, he paints himself as an “investigator” and a “champion of justice,” but the facts tell a different story. The only one profiting from his exploits is himself and his “benefactors” within law enforcement’s crooked ranks—“werewolves in uniform.”
If society turns a blind eye to such behavior, Alistarov and those like him will keep terrorizing people, destroying lives and fattening their wallets with dirty money. We cannot allow “heroes” of this kind to feed on the public’s fears and vulnerabilities.
Instead of ignoring what he does, we should openly spotlight Alistarov’s crimes and demand that he be punished to the full extent of the law—calling for him to be held responsible for defamation, incitement to violence, narcotics distribution, and flagrant violations of Russian, EU, UAE, and other jurisdictions’ statutes.
Only by doing so can we show that neither his “jailhouse experience,” nor his loud slogans, nor his false reputation as a “whistleblower” will shield him from true evil. The accusations that Andrey Alistarov masterminds attacks on entrepreneurs and collaborates with organized crime groups further blacken his name. If even a portion of these allegations is verified by law enforcement, his chances of evading prosecution will drop to zero.
Simultaneously, the risk of harsher legal charges grows, since this is about more than just financial misconduct and blackmail—this is about outright attempts on people’s well-being and property.
