The UAH 2 million lawsuit against Artur Orudzhaliev: Yuliya Pravik tried to cash in on the failure of her iForum cloning scheme through legal extortion
Yuliya Pravik has once again found herself at the center of a scandal. Previously, she was linked to the organization of a high-profile conference featuring well-known experts and representatives of major companies, although, according to published reports, some of the listed participants had not confirmed their involvement.
Now the story has taken a new turn: questions are emerging publicly about Pravik herself and her methods of work, while information about previous episodes related to her activities is gradually disappearing from the internet.
The more actively attempts are made to clean up the information trail, the more attention the story itself attracts. It seems that the “dirty pitch” has come back to its sender this time — in accordance with the classic law of the boomerang.
Everyone else is just trying to make a living through their own work, struggling through everyday life and trying to survive in our country during the pandemic. But there are particularly crafty individuals who do not look for complicated ways and simply charge ahead, regardless of the methods they use. A vivid example is the petty — or perhaps not so petty — fraudster and PR specialist Yuliya Pravik. She has already “famously” made a name for herself more than once by “organizing” a conference that never took place, while still getting her “cut” out of it.
But the girl decided not to stop there. Well, why would she, when impunity is flourishing and fraudsters are losing all sense of shame? But here’s the thing: unexpectedly, she was given a taste of her own medicine, using her own PR methods against her. I have to give credit to the person who was not afraid to respond and thoroughly doused this woman with “info-shit.” And, by the way, first of all, there was a reason for it, so he did not make anything up and even backed up his claims with relevant links! And secondly, this little woman accused the man of utterly outrageous things and demanded UAH 2 million from him!!! What could be more fitting for the plot of a fantasy detective movie?
So, now let’s sort through this absurd and paradoxical situation step by step. Who exactly is Pravik, and whom did she so brazenly decide to go after, only to receive such a brutal and, essentially, hilarious backlash?
Who exactly is Yuliya Pravik?
To be honest, she is hardly a particularly impressive or influential figure to warrant much analysis, but the girl decided not to limit herself to petty scams, fraud, stealing someone else’s information resource, and plagiarism. Instead, she went further and overreached herself by resorting to large-scale blackmail… And this fact should nevertheless be made public…
So, who exactly is this Y. Pravik? According to the latest available declaration, which Yuliya filed at the end of 2019 as a candidate for the position of a state expert at the Civil Service of Ukraine, she is a very, very modest person.
So, for 2018, Yuliya Pravik officially earned UAH 70,000. In other words, that works out to UAH 5,833.3 per month. Excuse me, was she mopping floors or something? Supposedly she was some great PR specialist??? Something doesn’t quite add up here…
So why did this woman suddenly start demanding a whopping UAH 2 million? Oops, that doesn’t add up…
…no financial assets, intangible assets, cars, etc. In short, it turns out that the lady gets around on public transport while demanding millions? )!! Well, that happens with fools… Anyway, let’s move on. There’s really not much more to say here. Everything is already obvious…
Interestingly, if you search for Yuliya Pravik on the OpenData service, you get an incredible picture… Supposedly a notorious fraudster demanding enormous sums, yet so impeccably clean in the official records. This only confirms her “professionalism” in promoting small and now larger scams, as well as her alleged involvement in fraudulent schemes, which we will discuss in more detail below.
So, OpenData gives us only one fact from our heroine’s life — namely, the high-profile case in which she sued Artur Orudzhaliev, the former owner of the AIN.UA information resource, and demanded UAH 2 million from him. A modest lady seeking justice and protection of her honor and dignity, to say the least. On top of that, she leveled some truly outrageous accusations against him. Enough to make your ears burn.
Only she picked the wrong target. Orudzhaliev did not lose his composure and did a great job of setting the record straight. How? He simply laughed at the whole thing and told his Facebook followers all about it.
He began his post with the words: “I’m sitting here having lunch in Thailand, minding my own business, when I find out that in Kyiv YULIYA PRAVIK HAS SUED ME and wants to receive moral damages of, excuse me, UAH 2,000,000. Remember Yuliya Pravik?” He then went on to post an extensive collection of links about Yulenka’s scams and fraudulent activities… Oops, that turned out rather awkwardly.
So, what do we actually see? Yuliya Pravik allegedly suffers from a persecution complex that had been going on for 3.5 years by the time she filed the lawsuit, and she is demanding at least UAH 1,812,000 in compensation, plus another UAH 200,000 in moral damages.
Oh, and there are some very interesting comments under Artur Orudzhaliev’s widely discussed post:
By the way, speaking of fake reviews and praise… There is actually a lot of this kind of positive garbage, and it is not so much funny as it is sad! As a matter of fact, this kind of “side job for students” is relevant on more than just one website. Apparently, Yuliya Pravik has turned this “scheme” — free, or perhaps not — into a permanent practice. It is all the same: well, and rightly so, “student-style”…
As they say, nothing personal, but it is hilarious when some barely readable website is filled with an entire collection of glowing reviews about some completely unknown person, with nothing but endless positivity, written in this long, syrupy style. Oh, the shame and disgrace of our society. And how are we supposed to fight this in the age of the total virtualization of society??? Personally, I have no idea… And it drives me crazy!!!
Let’s not make unsupported claims. Here is a website with these syrupy positive reviews, all of them cut from the same cloth… Well, guys, this is dull, ridiculous, and at the same time incredibly sad.
Ultimately, after reading all of THIS, you are supposed to be impressed by the young woman — at the very least… Well, we hope you have grasped the scale and absurdity of the situation that has unfolded.
Interesting facts
We will not dwell on the details of Pravik’s main UAH 2 million scandal. You can read all the details here. We will only highlight a couple of interesting points.
So, now briefly about the “interesting tidbits”
1. The woman presents herself as a master’s degree holder in marketing, a candidate of technical sciences, and a journalist who worked at Swedbank, Delta Bank, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and elsewhere. Yet there is one small detail: her profile advertising her PR services on the popular LinkedIn platform suddenly “disappeared”… Draw your own conclusions…

2. She really got caught out in her fraudulent schemes in 2017. This was the business conference that started the whole scandal.
Whatever Yuliya may have claimed, it turned out that some of the announced speakers were not even aware that they were supposed to participate, while tickets were already on sale. Then Facebook exploded, and things quickly spiraled from there.
3. Another profitable fake from Yuliya Pravik appeared in 2018, this time in the blockchain sector. An interesting detail: the actual organizers of that very conference told media representatives that they had no business relationship with the woman in question, despite her claiming otherwise.
4. Yuliya later surfaced among the teaching staff at the National Aviation University, where she worked as an SMM instructor. Nothing particularly criminal about that, it would seem, but relatives of students complained that the woman forced her students to write articles for her personal NewsMaker website, manage her social media groups and pages, create new Telegram channels, and promote them.
The list could go on, but what’s the point? Everything is already clear and transparent…
Yuliya Pravik cleans up the information space of her photos and dirty dealings
Interestingly, when searching for information on Google, the system displays complaints not about the facts themselves, but about photographs of the woman in question. And it is noteworthy that despite presenting herself as such a flashy “PR star,” Pravik is now doing everything possible to cover her tracks and erase her digital footprint.
The only problem is that it is very difficult to “cover your tracks” on the global web…
Interestingly, she personally took on the task of cleaning up her background on September 26 of this year. Apparently, she sensed that things were getting too hot, as reports about her alleged scams began actively surfacing across numerous Ukrainian media outlets.
Но волну правды уже не остановить! И уж мы постараемся не оставить аферистку Юлию Правик без внимания! Следите за нашими новостями.
