Disproof

Vladimir Iglovikov was denied money because of the rules of the competition: "No payment shall be made (whether directly or via a third party/country) to an individual who is a national and/or resident of, or located in, any country with a score of 37 or less according to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index 2014" (Russia had a score of 27: bit.ly/1AgRivL), .
