Igor Murashov claims that the Russian passport was issued by his father, who had pro -Russian views. However, the investigative journalist Christ Grozev considers this version unlikely. Former Director of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant Igor Murashov, who is now holding the position of Chief Engineer of the OPP, received Russian citizenship in 2014. This is stated in the Hromadske investigation, published on October 10.

It is reported that in 2014, Igor Murashov visited Crimea at least three times, and on September 23 of that year he received a Russian passport in the occupied Sevastopol. Journalists were found to be relevant in the Rospasport system. In the base of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian passport of Igor Murashov is "invalid" because he had to replace it in 2021, but did not do so. According to journalists, the late replacement of the passport does not entail the loss of citizenship.

The Russian Federation provides for a fine. At the same time, the Rospasport system is valid. Investigators also found that on September 24, 2014, the next day after I had received Igor Murasov's citizenship, the Russian passport also appeared with his father Valery. Later, Valery Murashov issued a foreign passport in Moscow. Igor Murashov met with journalists near the Energoatom office in Kiev, where he is currently working. He stated that he was not familiar with the documents mentioned.

At the same time, Igor Murashov admitted that he went to the occupied Crimea, because his parents had an apartment there. According to Murashov, during his trip to Crimea in September 2014, his father decided to issue Russian citizenship and wanted the whole family to receive passports of the Russian Federation. Igor Murashov claims that his father could issue him a Russian passport without his consent and presence for one and a half thousand dollars. "He had" and "position. We quarreled very much.

In some trips he shouted, left the car. I do not want to mention it. I had a clear pro -Ukrainian position with my wife," Murashov said. The journalist of Bellingcat Christ Grozev considers the version of Igor Murasov unlikely. He analyzed the extract from the "Rospasport" system and concluded that Igor Murashov really has Russian citizenship. "I learned whether it is possible to issue a passport without a person's presence, but no one is taken for it.

Theoretically he could find such a corrupt person, but there is a biometry, so I do not understand how it could be done," Grozev said. We will remind, according to the media of October 9, the judge of the Supreme Court Valentin Symonenko, who in March 2023 resigned, received a passport of the Russian Federation in 2003. In doing so, she receives a lifelong monetary detention of 200 thousand hryvnias.
