A new war has begun for Vkontakte. Durov threatened with dismissal
The creator of “Vkontakte” Pavel Durov today through the newspaper “Vedomosti” accused the UCP Foundation of pressure and threats.
“Your aggressiveness at the shareholder level has a very negative effect on the atmosphere in the team. “I have to make efforts not to lose the team,” he told Vedomosti. - Several key employees have already left, unable to withstand the pressure. They [representatives of the UCP] do not believe anyone, and everywhere paranoidly seek a catch. If I did not know that they are financiers, I would assume that I am dealing with FSB officers. ”

Later in the afternoon, UCP representative Yuri Kachuro told Forbes magazine that the foundation has a lot of questions to Durov, from which he dodges the answer:
')
“We have reasonable suspicions that he deliberately misleads shareholders and VKontakte employees. After the launch of the Telegram messenger and the beginning of the active work of the Digital Fortress (DF) company, we, as a shareholder in VK, sent a letter to Pavel with a request to answer specific questions about these projects. We were surprised that Pavel did not develop the messenger inside the VC as it does, for example, Facebook, but for some reason brought him into a separate business, controlled by him personally. There is an obvious conflict of interest. In particular, we wanted to make sure that these projects will not compete with VC and do not use VC resources. ”

Later in the afternoon, Durov further commented on the situation in the publication of the publication “Zuckerberg Call”:
“Telegram has nothing to do with VKontakte neither financially nor technologically - and this has been shown / confirmed many times. The whole thing is not in it - every month the pressure point from the gentlemen of racketeers changes to something new. But they will hardly succeed; at least, to press the company quietly, as they used to, will not work. To be extremely precise, the Digital Fortress non-profit foundation is based on the money I received from the sale of a portion of my VKontakte share in 2007 and 2010. All this is easily verified and can not be a serious subject for any claims from the new shareholder VKontakte. ” Nikolay Durov [the developer of the protocol on which the Telegram works] has been working for VKontakte since 2007 as a part-time worker and has the right to engage in any third-party projects that he likes. This was explained to shareholders at the end of August, after which it became clear that the true purpose of the pressure was not related to the real work of the company. "
