Could you provide some proof links please? Because that thing sounds really unbelievable, and given the date… That's why I hate that stupid 'holiday' so much!
A journalist I know confirms it's true (coming from good sources he says). Also several Russian media news sites (that have good ties with VK) confirm it's not a joke.
Thanks. I speak russian and that actually seams to be true (regardless the newspaper, I just didn't know that he sold his part a long time ago already). In fact I hoped that stating that "it was long time coming" can be confirmed by related non-01.04-dated posts. But that selling stocks, etc. — yeah, it doesn't sound like a joke anymore.
