He Is Not Dimon to You (Russian: Он вам не Димон) is a 2017 Russian documentary film about alleged corruption by Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev.
The film claims that Dmitry Medvedev has embezzled an estimated $1.2 billion.
As of the 10th of August 2017, the film has an average rating of 9.6/10 on IMDb.
The name of the film is a reference to an interview with Medvedev's press secretary Natalya Timakova, where she criticized the use of the nickname Dimon when speaking about Medvedev on social media. (In Russian, Dimon is a hypocorism for the name Dmitry, commonly used by a close male friend to communicate in a very informal situation, like Johnny for John in English, but more familiar and blunt.)
The film is divided into 10 chapters:
All chapters are published on the FBK web page.
He Is Not Dimon to You was posted on the YouTube channel on March 2, 2017. The video has received about 1.5 million views in its first day. A week after, this surged to 7 million, exceeding the result of Chaika, another film by Alexei Navalny and the Anti-Corruption Foundation. In two weeks, the video has received over 13 million views. A month after release, the video has over 17 million views. As of April 2017, the video has 20.2 million views. By August 2017, the video reached 24 million views.
Russian state-owned and most of privately held media have completely ignored the controversial revelations. There was no reaction from Dimitry Medvedev or other high-ranking Russian government officials. On 10 March Dmitry Medvedev blocked Alexei Navalny on Instagram. Later Navalny announced country-wide street protests on March 26, with a stated goal of forcing Putin and Medvedev to respond to Navalny's accusations.
