Danilochkin's professional emphasis is on enterprise management profitability.
Political persecution in Russia[edit]
In late 2000s, Danilochkin uncovered a scheme organized by highly-ranked Russian law enforcement officials to embezzle taxpayers' money. Working on the auditing teams for several Russian enterprises, Danilochkin challenged the suspects to clarify his audit findings, and was allegedly framed by them as a "fly-by-night king", who had been setting up shell companies.[1] The group alleged to be behind the fabrication was the same group involved in the Magnitsky affair, which centered on a similar style of tax fraud, according to Russian investigative journalists and Danilochkin himself, who claims he was used as a scapegoat.[citation needed]
As a critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin since the early 2000s, Danilochkin fled to the United States in 2010, seeking political asylum.[2]
Activities in the United States[edit]
In 2011, Danilochkin established the Russian America TV channel, based in Miami, Florida. He has also been involved in a series of real estate projects. He lives in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, with his wife and three children.[citation needed]
Danilochkin has publicly criticized Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. He launched several antiwar broadcasts supporting Ukraine and criticising the Russian military's practice of forcing young, untrained, and unwilling recruits to fight against the Ukrainian armed forces.[citation needed]
