Tried, it doesn't work. Mostly because all Russian media directly or indirectly controlled by the state and they will not confront the prime minister. We never tried Western media but I don't think there will be any interest from them.
It could be a good case for FCPA investigation, though I doubt that the US will be interested in opening the FCPA case against the American company.

FWIW a lot FCPA cases are against American companies since it's an American rule. The only way a non-American company would end up against FCPA is if they were traded in US financial markets (so Renova Group couldn't be brought up on FCPA charges, but Medtronic definitely can be).
The single-source government decree stating that Stentex/Medtronic should become single supplier of stents in Russia in 2017-2022 was signed by the prime minister. See the links above.
Approach Novaya Gazeta. They regularly publish reports of this kind.
I just don't see what good will it do in Russia. They just reply with "it's all fabricated lies of our enemies in the West!" and it seems to be good enough for majority of population.
