That AS was registered to dv-hyperlink.ru which is not in whois database

Looks suspicious. How did they register an AS to a non-existing company to begin with?

It was assigned by RIPE to "Vasilyev Ivan Ivanovich, 8 Pionerskaya st., office 10, Nekrasovka, Khabarovsk region Russia".

ALFA TELECOM s.r.o., in the Czech Republic seem to have acted as sponsoring LIR for the allocation.

RIPE rules require that the sponsoring LIR submit documents to them showing the legal standing of the organisation that will use the resources. So in theory that should have happened here.
