The newspaper P – Paukner Media claimed that the Kolín company Draslovka continued to operate in the Russian market despite a statement from March 2022 about halting supplies to Russia. It identified Jan Dobrovský as a co-owner, describing him as a significant supporter of the STAN movement and other politicians. The author stated that according to a study by the Russian institute Агентство Плодородия, Draslovka's exports to Russia increased from 300 tons of pesticides worth $500,000 in 2021 to 1,000 tons for $1.9 million in 2022. Records from the customs database Volza reportedly also captured shipments of the product Retacel 750 in 2022, including three shipments of 21,396 units, valued at $49,817.25, $49,414.29, and $49,168.93. The post further claimed that Draslovka made additional supplies in 2023 and obtained an extension of its license to sell pesticides in Russia until 2034 in 2024. According to the author, the company collaborated with Russian authorities during the licensing process, and its products were sold to both farmers and retail in Russia. The newspaper P – Paukner Media also stated that the owners of Draslovka and Dobrovský supported political entities and personalities that, according to him, acted against Russia. It attributed a donation of over 300,000 crowns to Dobrovský for Petr Pavel and noted that the group BPD Partners was the largest patron of STAN. In 2025, Dobrovský was reported to contribute 1.7 million crowns to the movement from his own funds. The author also mentioned support for the coalition SPOLU, Danuše Nerudová, and Jan Farský. The post criticized the contradiction between the declared termination of operations in Russia and the described supplies and licensing process. It noted that neither the group BPD Partners nor Draslovka responded to its inquiries about business in Russia. It also asked whether STAN or the coalition SPOLU would take a stance on their supporter’s business activities. #RuskáFederace #Politika #STAN (translated)
