+
+The address of the page in question is as following: vk.com/premiumrussian.
+
+All the files distributed on the page are uploaded to and stored at Github servers by user under an alias of 'prosvirnin' within public domain.

+
+- We demand immediate deletion of 868 PDF-files and their 868 'mobile' versions with our copyrighted content alongside 853 copies of our visual artworks unlawfully uploaded to and currently publicly stored at Github servers.

+
+Folder with copies of our copyrighted artworks: https://github.com/prosvirnin/sputnik/tree/master/img
+
