The program created by Noosphere Ventures will determine the most honest and quoted media, which create “their own content that is not only useful to readers, but also сhecked and approved by the program.” Zirki.info quotes a company’s representative: «Noosphere Ventures and other projects of my client have repeatedly been the victims of black PR ordered by competitors. Over the past year, the Internet has been filled with more than three hundred publications that discredit the honor and dignity of Mr. Polyakov. We documented most of these materials by all available means for filing a lawsuit».
«At this stage, we already know the customer who orders the waves of black PR, and the performers. In accordance with our information, the dirty campaign is organized by Max Polyakov’s former business partner, owner of a number of illegal online casinos – Maxim Krippa. It is Maxim Krippa who may become a defendant in court. In the meantime, my client will not reply to slander with slander, no… Max Polyakov clearly states: Noosphere Ventures will fight for clean Internet and make UAnet better», – Zirki.info quotes A. Dondik.
Earlier, the Ukrainian media informed about Maxim Krippa’s connection with the creator of League of Secure Internet, a Russian businessman Konstantin Malofeev. «Taking into account the regional specifics of the “Samopomich” voter, one should expect the investigation of the “Russian trace “in the financing of the party.

Maxim Krippa participated in the elections to the Kiev City Council from the party “Samopomich”.
