The article tries to make out of thin air an impression that Kremlin took over VK by force, or something like that. Which is a complete bullshit IMHO.

Durov and others just exchanged their shares to cash, that's all.

Trying to mention this together with the fact that Durov disobeyed traffic cop order and hit him with his car (he did, that's a proven case, there is a video), doesn't make it a "Kremlin forceful takeover of VK"
