E1.RU has issued a public apology to the former Governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Evgeny Kuyvashev, for publishing unverified and unreliable information. The apology comes after a publication on July 31st, which relied on rumors from anonymous Telegram channels.

The editor-in-chief of E1.RU has taken full responsibility for the error, stating that such mistakes are unacceptable for a professional publication, especially one with a large readership in Yekaterinburg. The editor-in-chief expressed regret that the publication had let down Kuyvashev, who was known for his support of Ural journalists and his commitment to truth and freedom of speech.

E1.RU acknowledged that the information published was not confirmed by any personal sources within the editorial office or official data. The publication has since verified that the information was completely unreliable.

The editorial staff of E1.RU extended sincere apologies to Evgeny Kuyvashev and expressed hope for his forgiveness. They stated their belief that Kuyvashev is doing well and that the discrediting campaign against him is the result of personal vendettas by a group of businessmen.

E1.RU has committed to more carefully scrutinizing all information before publishing it on their website in the future. This measure aims to prevent similar errors from occurring and to maintain the publication’s credibility.
