The Main Investigation Department of the ICR city of Moscow opened a criminal case against Elena Blinovskaya on the fact of tax evasion of more than 918 million rubles and money laundering of more than 43 million rubles. He was detained by the FSB on the border with Belarus.
It was later learned that Blinovskaya had re-registered most of her property with her immediate family shortly before attempting to leave Russia. Only 50 hectares of land in Simferopol and a 58-meter apartment on Serpukhovsky Val in Moscow remained in his possession.
After the detention of Blinovskaya, the Ministry of Internal Affairs showed a video of searches of her cottage in Istra, near Moscow. In the images you can see expensive cars, jewelry, hundreds of hangers with luxury clothes, as well as new smartphone boxes on the nightstand by the bed. Born in the village of Oparino, Kirov Region, Blinovskaya earned all these properties with the help of motivational marathons and performances.
“Marathon of Desire”
Cost: 4500 rubles
The most popular training of Blinovskaya is the “Marathon of Desire”, which takes place in closed conversation for four weeks. Information from Elena is transmitted, as a rule, in the form of voice messages. The marathon begins with the “Magic Clear”, where you have to clear the space around you by throwing at least 60 things. Then the participants make ten wish lists following certain rules and take actions to fulfill them.
The first week of promotion is free, the next cost is unannounced (known due to feedback from participants in past streams on third-party sites). To stay in the marathon, you need to buy the “Standard package” for 4,500 rubles, “Light” without feedback for 2,000 rubles, or “Individual package” for 30,000 rubles. According to some participants, a free week may be enough to systematize the goals.
On Blinovskaya’s pages, reviews criticizing the marathon are filtered out, but plenty of negative feedback can be found online. The blogger is accused of “infogypsy” and states that he sent recorded voice messages to participants in 2018-2019. Many reviews say that all the information presented in the tutorial can be found on the Internet for free.
“Be and Get”
Cost: 6 thousand rubles
According to the marathon’s “Stop and you will get it” commentary, “you will give information that you will heal the wounds of the past and you will be able to come to a future full of love and self-confidence.” As with other trainings, although the content is not known beforehand, this information can be accessed through reviews on third-party sites. According to the participant under the pseudonym Tat.niki, in the marathon Blinovskaya collected well-known tools: fill the “balance wheel” with the areas of her life (without explaining what to do with it next), write down what I have and want, remember negative attitudes about myself from myself and parents, any Being grateful for an experience.
“The quests are very superficial, the information is not unique, it is priceless. It inconsistently served one thing, then the other. So much water, I could barely listen, I prefer speed reading, ”the participant shared.
At the same time, some marathon graduates note that a high-quality study of such simple tasks can really help, and training costs less than sessions with a psychologist. Using publicly available information in a marathon is another matter. For many, it is easier to pay for and use the collected course than to seek out and try the techniques themselves.
“Financial Marathon”
Cost: 5 thousand rubles
The “Financial Marathon” description says its participants will be able to “open personal portals of abundance.” The blogger is keeping with her husband, entrepreneur Alexei Blinovsky. According to many participants, the marathon was designed for those who had no knowledge of the basics of financial literacy and who fell into despair over debt. In a review on one of the popular sites, a user under the pseudonym Lipanda notes that many audio recordings are devoted to the topic of debts and debts.
“How to get out of the debt hole – not to buy such training with the last money,” the participant thinks.
He added that at the end of the marathon, participants were encouraged to “read books on finance that only the slackers don’t hear about, keep statistics on expenses and income, get rid of unnecessary stuff, and ideally sell all the junk.”
“Destiny”
Cost: 7 thousand rubles
Like all previous trainings, the Destiny marathon is aimed at those who are stuck and need a “magic pill” to solve their problems.
“In a month you will understand who you are and what you want to do next!” Blinovskaya promises in the annotation.
One of the participants described the marathon process and stated that he had to take notes on certain points since the information was presented in the form of “porridge”. In the first broadcast, Blinovskaya asks the participants to ask themselves the following questions: why do people turn to you; How will you know you have found your purpose? are you progressing 100% towards your goal; What is your goal in the marathon and how will you know you’ve reached it?
In the second publication, the blogger talked for a long time about how she achieved success, her father’s business and the appearance of the marathon. According to the participant, in some statements Blinovskaya turned to insults, calling the audience a “monkey”:
“If you think someone is lucky, you are a monkey. Everything we have received in this life, we have earned in a past life. If you are unlucky, if you have a monkey mentality, then you are not working on yourself, you are a lazy monkey.
The girl also noted that in almost all publications, Blinovskaya praised herself, calling herself a “marketer from God” and a master of entitlement cases.
“About Relationships”
Cost: 10 thousand rubles
In the marathon “About Relationships” Blinovskaya offers to restore relations with a partner, children and parents, correct mistakes, avoid cheating, realize your worth and take your sex life to a new level. On the network, users note that the information is not unique and taken from open sources, but thanks Blinovskaya for structuring this information.
