Dear Dmytro Vasylovych Firtash - I heard about the new FARA filing and I miss you
FARA #s 6394 <— morphs in to new FARA # —>6949 but the client remains the same: Dmytro Vasylovych Firtash
Hush just read what I’m pointing out…
because I’m going to connect more dots for you but first a quick trip down the Twitter threads. For the record I’ve had a very long fascination with Firtash…
FARA -Reach back June 22, 2019 thread
Such a pity that my years worth of research into Firtash is gone - psyche just kidding of course it’s not. See June 22, 2019 archived Twitter Thread, found here
you thought just because I was excommunicated from Twitter that my previous research was gone (okay for a few seconds I thought it was gone too)
November 2, 2019 FARA Thread
That thread I provided my readers/followers with several FARA Filings and provided links as well as highlights, see archive found here
FARA # 6394 Davis Goldberg & Galper, PLLC On behalf of DMYTRO FIRTASH Informational Materials Filed on - 12/19/2018 Teleconference call set up at the behest of Firtash https://efile.fara.gov/docs/6394-Informational-Materials-20181219-6.pdf …
December 2019 follow up Parnas Firtash Thread
I think most will recall my silent screaming and caution of putting stock into Lev Parnas and the unquestionable spoliation of evidence - yet most in the MSM tripped over themselves trying to book Parnas & his Attorney on their shows. I said what I said because it was factual - see archived thread found here And your bonus January 2020 archived thread found here
The point? I don’t like to traffic in innuendo, disinformation or misinformation - facts matter and that’s why I remain committed to providing my readers/followers with actual original documents. I can’t recall any time where I purposefully withheld public documents. The facts are out there, provided you know where and what to look for;

NEW April 2021 Davis & Firtash FARA -Exhibit AB
You might ask “so what - why does this matter” …it’s a new FARA Registration and that’s why I think this needs some blinding sunshine1
While it’s widely known that Firtash has long retained the services of Lanny Davis and his firm. Notwithstanding after carefully reading through the April 18, 2021 -Exhibit AB FARA #6949 2
,Please see attached contract. Registrant has been engaged to provide legal services, legal representation in ongoing matters, including working with U.S. and European Co-Defense Counsel, on strategies and services in support of legal and litigation positions. At times, these services may include correcting the record in the media and elsewhere in the face of distortions and inaccuracies and advising on such media strategies for such purposes.
FARA # 6949 - Short Form April 15, 2021
A curious disclosure can be found on page 2 of the FARA Short Form - specifically section numbers 11 & 12 - which reads in part:
Support for legal representation in ongoing matters, including strategies and services in support of legal and litigation positions. At times, these services may include correcting the record in the media and elsewhere in the face of distortions and inaccuracies and advising on such media strategies for such purposes
Which clearly signals that Firtash will continue to pay top dollar for representation and by now you might ask: why is this important?
Previous FARA # 6394
This is where things get slightly complicated. For Example FARA# 6170-Informational-Materials- pdf -you would have no idea that this filing is linked to Firtash unless you read the disclosure on page 3
DISSEMINATED BY MERCURY PUBLIC AFFAIRS, LLC, A REGISTERED FOREIGN AGENT ON BEHALF OF the Government of National Accord Libya. MORE INFORMATION ISON FILE WITH THE DEPT. OF JUSTICE, WASHINGTON, D.C.
Again you wouldn’t know unless you read the whole filing (to be fair Firtash’s goal has never changed, the objective was always to have the DOJ dismiss the indictment) - 2018 FARA# 6394 Amended Filing, see page 4
If the registrant arranged, sponsored or delivered speeches, lectures or radio and TV broadcasts, give details as to dates, places of delivery, names of speakers and subject matter.
DMYTRO FIRTASH: Registrant has provided legal representation in ongoing matters, including strategies and services in support of principal's legal and litigation positions. At times, these services may include correcting the record in the media and elsewhere in the face of distortions arid inaccuracies and advising on such media strategies for such purposes. See also Attachment A.
So the natural question should be - why did Lanny Davis file a new FARA Registration? I believe the answer is partially answered on page 3 of the newly registered FARA #6949 -granted anyone who’s done any minimal research on Firtash knows he’s long held holdings is Cyprus but I believe seeing Cyprus in the new registration is notable. Given previous disclosures mainly had Austria or Ukraine listed (dating back to pro 2016) so seeing Cyprus in 2021 is “interesting”
Furthermore in Exhibit C of FARA #6949 also offers a partial answer.

6949-Short-Form-20210418-2.pdf - Eleanor McManus Registration Number 6949 6949-Registration-Statement-20210418-1.pdf and 6949-Exhibit-AB-20210418-1.pdf
Again if you followed me on Twitter you would have known that all the way back to October 2019 - I did a lot of research and said Zuberi & Firtash mark that down and during the long and twisted saga of Zuberi my observation was in fact proven correct by the various Government court filings…
so the point? I’d watch that new FARA number let’s not forget the amount of shit aimed at me for daring to highlight that circa 2014 -2018 Zuberi & Firtash - See March 2020 Sentencing Memo https://ecf.cacd.uscourts.gov/doc1/031032712046
And just because some of us reach a factual conclusion months and sometimes years ahead of others - that doesn’t make us wrong - it merely means congratulations for catching up. Should you be inclined see pages 22 thru 25 of the March 2020 Government Sentencing memo as to Defendant Zuberi, uploaded to my public drive
Firtash & Davis’s previous FARA # was 6394 - 2016 registration https://efile.fara.gov/docs/6394-Registration-Statement-20161123-1.pdf
