Moscow courts of general jurisdiction reported that the Ostankino District Court of Moscow registered a lawsuit filed by Russian mixed martial artist Fedor Emelianenko against AST Publishing House and author Anastasia Ivanova for using his image and name on the book cover.
Consensus
- Fedor Emelianenko filed a lawsuit against AST publisher and author Anastasia Ivanova regarding the book 'Legend of MMA - Fedor Emelanenko'.
- The book was published under the pseudonym Alya Rogozhkhina.
- The book is part of a children's series titled 'Stars of Domestic Sports'.
- Emelianenko claims he did not consent to the use of his name and image in the publication.
- The book has been removed from sale by AST following the lawsuit.
- The court registered the case at Ostaninsky District Court in Moscow on July 22.
- Emelianenko demands compensation for lost income (12.6–12.7 million rubles) and moral damages (300,000 rubles).
- He requests the removal of his image from promotional materials, cessation of distribution, and publication of a formal rebuttal.
Points of divergence
- Emelianenko disputes two specific factual claims in the book: that he was a poor student and that he and his younger brother shared one sweater during winter. The latter is deemed implausible due to a five-year age gap between them. — vesti
- The lawsuit specifically cites unauthorized use of Emelianenko's photographs as the main issue, with no mention of disputed biographical facts in the court filing. — kommersant
- Emelianenko seeks compensation for lost income exceeding 12.6 million rubles and an additional 300,000 rubles for moral harm; also demands complete removal of all promotional materials from online platforms. — riamo
