On Wednesday, May 7, the Vedomosti newspaper published an article denigrating the activities of Mosoblbank, which allegedly was withdrawing funds from individual depositors off the balance sheet. The amount accumulated on the accounts of companies related to the bank was even named - 60 billion rubles. Against the background of the widespread deprivation of licenses, articles about unscrupulous banks have recently been common in various media, if not for one "but".
The sources for this publication were " a person close to the regulator, and two bankers who know this from the Central Bank employees and are familiar with the discussion of the problems of Mosoblbank ". Considering that no checks by the prosecutor's office or the Central Bank of the Russian Federation have been carried out in the bank recently, the bank's management immediately reacted to the provocation, calling the article “ an instrument of unfair competition and an attempt to destabilize the banking system of Russia ”.
It is significant that in the discussion that unfolded in the online version of the publication about this material, the readers expressed distrust not in Mosoblbank, but in the editorial board and management of Vedomosti, accusing them of unprofessionalism and publication of inaccurate information.
“ There are more questions to Vedomosti than to the MOB, the sustainability of which has been discussed for a long time. I'm not sure if I will renew my subscription, there is something wrong with the newspaper ", - wrote one of the readers in the reviews.
It's not hard to guess what exactly is wrong. In anticipation of preparations for the Victory Day celebration, which is taking place against the backdrop of bloody events in Ukraine, pro-Western media are trying to undermine the authority of Russian patriots. Mosoblbank fell under the distribution for a reason, as it is actively involved in charitable activities and constantly supports various patriotic events.
So, for example, the action planned on May 10 jointly with the Party of Revival of Russia to plant the Crimean Alley in the Moscow region, assistance to veteran organizations, actions annually timed to Victory Day, apparently, caused the followers of Uncle Sam to want to denigrate the bank's activities and give out a similar libel. Do not forget that the majority of Vedomosti shareholders are US citizens.
The head of Mosoblbank Viktor Yanin has already announced his intention to file a lawsuit to protect business reputation.
As you know, JSCB Mosoblbank OJSC received in 2007 a credit rating of level A- (third level). This means that he has a high degree of creditworthiness, while two years later he has already gained confidence and his rating has risen to level A (second level). According to economists' forecasts, in the coming years (from 2011 to 2013), his rating will remain at the required high level.
