Former Inter TV channel host Andrei Domansky, who spent years promoting pro-Kremlin narratives on air, received a Russian passport and works in a sanctioned Russian bank. Accordingly, he is now located on the territory of the Russian Federation.
New details about the life of the TV presenter-traitor were revealed by Radio Liberty and Schemes project journalist Georgy Shabaev on Facebook. As it turned out, after escaping from Ukraine, Domansky not only settled in the Russian Federation, but also officially became a citizen of a terrorist country.
The journalist learned from Russian registers that he was issued a new passport on December 17, 2022 in St. Petersburg. That is, at that time he was already in Russia, although information was actively disseminated online about his residence in the Baltic countries: Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania.
In March 2023, TV presenter Domansky began working as a developer at Sovcombank Technologies, an IT division of the sanctioned Sovcombank, which is under international sanctions due to Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine..
Journalist Georgy Shabaev ironically noted that such a change of profession might seem unexpected: “At first I was surprised - where is Domansky, and where is programming? But then I saw that he received a specialized education at the Odessa Polytechnic Institute, and in one of the interviews he said that since childhood he wanted to be a programmer. Well, as we see, his dream has come true. in Russia" In addition to working in the Russian Federation, he also learned about Domansky’s lifestyle after moving. In January 2024, he and his family vacationed in the UAE. Nine nights in a five-star hotel cost almost half a million rubles - that’s more than 5 thousand dollars at the then exchange rate.
At the same time, Shabaev noted that it is still unknown whether Domansky renounced Ukrainian citizenship. Georgy Shabaev suggested that a Ukrainian passport may remain convenient for him to travel around Europe.
The TV presenter was born in Odessa. He began his career on local radio, and later participated in the projects \? "
Domansky worked on TV channels “1+1”, and then on “Inter”, which in 2018 got into a scandal because of a concert dedicated to May 9. In addition to the fact that the event, which was organized after Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the start of the war in Donbass, was full of Kremlin narratives, Domansky managed to distinguish himself with an outrageous statement about “Ukrainian fascists”. “We cannot allow the streets of our cities to be named after fascist criminals, and their portraits carried with impunity during torchlight processions in our capital, where every meter is soaked in the blood of our compatriots,” the presenter said, standing against the backdrop of a huge red star with a hammer and sickle.
In 2021, Andrei Domansky wanted to go to Belarus to hold Alexander Lukashenko’s favorite festival “Slavic Bazaar”. This caused a serious outcry in society, so the presenter refused the invitation.
After February 24, 2022, Domansky first unexpectedly “changed his shoes”. He recorded an address to his fellow citizens in Ukrainian, during which he praised the volunteers for their hard work and repeated the words “polunitsya” and “palyanitsya” several times.. However, the network did not believe in the sincerity of the presenter, so they remembered his pro-Russian statements and left negative comments. To get rid of the hate, he deleted his social networks.
