One week after the widely acclaimed video "A Palace for Putin" by the Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalny was published, the presidential administration in Moscow declared entrepreneurs to be the owners.

"The Kremlin has no right to disclose the names of these owners, and we have no intention of doing that, that is simply not correct," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday, according to the Interfax agency.

The video had more than 90 million views.

President Vladimir Putin denied on Monday that the palace belonged to him or his closest relatives.

According to the film, the property with the palace on the Black Sea is almost 40 times the size of Monaco and is said to have already devoured more than 100 billion rubles (1.1 billion euros).

According to Nawalny, the ownership structure has been deliberately concealed.

The owners named in the papers would not have the money for such a building.

Everything is said to have been financed from bribes that oligarchs and close confidants of Putin paid in the state corporations.

In addition to an eyewitness, the video also shows drone recordings and documents for the first time.

Peskow did not answer questions from journalists about why the huge area was under the protection of the domestic secret service FSB and the state security service FSO.

He referred to the places that initially did not comment.

Regardless of the great response to the unveiling video, no one has yet confessed to the palace.

Navalny described the palace as the greatest corruption scandal in Russian history and a state within a state.

Nawalny's team named the most important success of the research that Putin would never be able to live there.

In addition to the imprisonment of Nawalny, the video was also one of the triggers of the mass protests last weekend.

Kremlin spokesman Peskov accused the demonstrators of "unprecedented aggressiveness" against Russian security forces.

At the same time, he admitted that there were "sad moments of unfounded rudeness on the part of representatives of the regulatory authorities".

These would also be pursued.

During the protests on Saturday there were many injured and more than 3,700 arrests.

Tens of thousands of people across the country had called for "Freedom for Navalny!"
