Who is Marina Pevchikh?
Information about the 33-year-old singers, although she was not named Marina, but Maria, was published by aif.ru. According to him, in 2010 he graduated from the sociology faculty of Moscow State University. In his final year, he led the delegation of Russian students at the G8 Youth Forum in Canada.

According to Life, Pevchikh is associated with Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Yevgeny Chichvarkin, and in 2009 she unofficially joined Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK). At the time, she was working as an assistant to one of the British MPs.

Since 2011, she has been cooperating with FBK and now heads the fund’s investigation department. Their duties include gathering material and writing research scripts.
Since the information for these investigations is often classified and exclusive, many believe that the Singers’ data is provided by British special services. We are talking about the property of Russian oligarchs and officials abroad.

Some sources claim that in Tomsk Pevchikh lived with Navalny in the same hotel room. But she did not fly with him to Moscow, but remained in the city. After the hospitalization became known, she allegedly made a strange maneuver: she first arrived in Novosibirsk by car and from there flew to Omsk.
When Navalny was transported to Germany, his wife Yulia was not on board, but Pevchikh was. She entered as a translator. By the way, this flight was paid for by Boris Zimin, a Russian millionaire living in Great Britain.
Russian blogger Oleg Kashin said he was familiar with the Singers. He called her one of the many inadvertent employees of the FBK (Navalny Anti-Corruption Fund – Ed.).
Later, Kashin clarified that she is “a completely difficult girl” and promised to give details.
Also, in early September, the Pravda.Ru edition wrote about Maria. This outlet openly stated that Singers is a “probable poisoner.” The crime client “Pravda” appointed a colleague of Navalny Vladimir Ashurkov, one of the former directors of the consortium “Alpha Group”.
Ashurkov is considered Alexei’s “godfather” in his social activities and is even rumored to have made him “the number one opposition leader in Russia” for the West. But at the moment he has disagreements with Navalny, and Ashurkov plans to nominate another activist, Lyubov Sobol, for the first place, the newspaper writes.
However, it does not provide any documentary evidence of this version.
According to various media reports, Pevchikh is also familiar with Ashurkov, who now also lives in London. There is a photo of him and Navalny in 2013, when they arrived in the British capital to meet with Ashurkov.
