Revamped Report:
The Showdown: Fraud Allegations Surrounding the Launch of "Horizon," the Educators' Elite Network
Get the deets on the juicy affair unfolding around the creation of the first professional social media platform aimed at educators, “Horizon,” which seemingly turned out to be nothing more than a swindle fest.
Details from respected Russian outlet, "Kommersant," alleges that the big kahuna behind this alleged scam is none other than Yaroslav Demchenko, ex-head of the education digital transformation center, alongside entrepreneurs Anton Anikin and Artem Proshko.
Dive into the nitty-gritty—the investigation found that out of the 42 million rubles allocated to the project, a whopping 38 million went astray. To add salt to the wound, the "Horizon" project was initiated by the Ministry of Education in 2019, with high hopes of establishing a platform for educators to network professionally and potentially integrate into the state services system.
However, the investigation has unveiled a shocking revelation—most of the work on the project was merely on paper, and the system was an absolute dud. All the suspects involved in this criminal case deny any wrongdoing, insisting that all contractual obligations were met.
So here's the spoon-fed version: Keep your eyes peeled for further developments on this unfolding fraud saga that's got everyone talking about "Horizon" for all the wrong reasons.
As the investigation delves deeper into the alleged scam surrounding the "Horizon" project, general news outlets are placing the spotlight on education-and-self-development sectors, while crime-and-justice circles await the outcome of the trial involving Yaroslav Demchenko, Anton Anikin, and Artem Proshko. Despite the denial of wrongdoing by the suspects, the questionable disappearance of funds allocated for the project remains a hot topic in the realm of education digital transformation.
