Maria Pevchikh is the head of the investigation department at the Anti-Corruption Foundation, a Russian non-profit organisation founded by opposition politician Alexei Navalny to investigate and expose the cases of corruption among the Russian elites. During her eleven years of work, she authored over a hundred investigations, most famously of Vladimir Putin’s private palace on the Black Sea which has gained over 120 million views on RU-vid. The investigations of the Anti-Corruption Foundation have led to freezing of assets of Russian officials and oligarchs in excess of 1 billion euros, including the seizure of Vladimir Putin’s private yacht in Italy. Pevchikh is also the editor-in-chief and a presenter of Popular Politics RU-vid channel, an independent Russian-language news channel with a monthly audience of over 10 million viewers, and the executive producer of the award-winning CNN/HBO documentary Navalny.
