A Russian radio stationwho belongs to one of his “favorite oligarchs” Vladimir Putinwas forced to interrupt his program, as a hacker “punched” in his program and started playing Ukrainian anthems and anti-war songs!

THE Kommersant FMaccording to the Daily Mail, was broadcasting the noon news bulletin before it was suddenly interrupted by the Ukrainian patriotic anthem “Oh the red viburnum in the meadow».

The radio station belongs to the 68-year-old Russian businessman and oligarch Alisher Usmanov.

It is worth noting that recently the European Union imposed sanctions on billionaire Alisher Usmanov after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, imposing a travel ban throughout the EU. and freezing all his assets. The United States has imposed similar sanctions.

Usmanov is said to have “particularly close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin” and is one of his “favorite oligarchs”.

THE Alisher Usmanov was born on September 9, 1953 in Uzbekistan in a provincial town, however he spent his childhood in Tashkent. His goal was to become diplomat and for this reason he moved to Moscow. He entered the Moscow State Institute of Public Relations and graduated in 1976 with a degree in international law. Certainly his studies helped him, but as it turned out, his course was completely different from the one he had planned.

He was a shareholder in the English football team Arsenal from 2017 to 2018, and is considered the fifth richest man in Russia and among the 100 richest people in the world, with an estimated net worth of $ 19.2 billion.

THE chief editor of “Kommersant FM”, Alexey Vorobyov, said about the interruption of the radio station: “Really, we were hacked. “Our technicians are trying to find out the origin of the specific attack and the station to function properly again.”

In early May, Russian television also encountered the same problem when the message appeared on the screen: “The blood of thousands of Ukrainians and hundreds of children is in your hands».

And earlier this week, Ukrainian hackers appeared to be invading the website of a Russian ministry, sending users to a page that read: “Glory to Ukraine».
