Fraudulent Russians awarded highest state honor for deceiving politicians

Riverč is a duo consisting of Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov, known by their pseudonyms “Vovan and Lexus”. Recently, RIA published a photo of them at an awards ceremony in the Kremlin where they were seen holding glasses of champagne. The ceremony took place on Wednesday and is known for awarding prizes to both Russian and foreign citizens who have contributed to promoting peace, friendship, cooperation, and understanding between Russia and other nations.

Kuznetsov and Stolyarov made headlines earlier this year when they released a recording of a video call with British Foreign Minister David Cameron, where they successfully deceived him into thinking he was speaking with the former Ukrainian president. They have a history of tricking politicians, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and former British Minister of Defense Ben Wallace in 2022. Their pranks have made them well known in Russia and beyond.

Beyond their antics, Riverč also announced their presence through various platforms, offering services and resources related to technology and development. Their diverse range of offerings includes APKs for streaming TV, tracking lost or stolen phones, recovering deleted videos, and more. They also cover topics like removing ads on Android phones, designing homes on smartphones, and converting EXE files to APK for Android devices. Additionally, they provide tips for managing various social media platforms and developing e-commerce websites using WooCommerce.
