| '''The Great Purchase''', also known as the '''July Revolution''' and the '''Great Sellout''', among countless other names, refers to [[Kuz|Yuri Kuznetsov]]'s purchase and acquisition of [[soyjak.party]] from its founder and former owner [[Soot]]. The deal was made public between July 16 and July 17th, 2022 in a series of pinned Q&A threads. The deal also included the transfer of [[SoyBooru]] to Kuz, but Soot retained ownership over the [[Soyjak Wiki]] under a new divorced address. In a Q&A session on July 15th 2023 Kuz revealed that he paid $2000 for the party.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBHMzvaS-Eo</ref><ref>[[Kuz/DOLL Interview Transcript|Kuz Interview Transcript]]</ref>

| == Background ==
| |
| [[File:7 17 2022 soot retirement.jpg|300x300px|thumb|Soot's retirement post]]Kuz's activity in the [[Soy Community|soy community]] has been traced to as early as 2020. He had long wished to own the party and had entered purchase negotiations with Soot at least once before.
| |
| | |
| In 2022, Soot became preoccupied with real life commitments such as university and became notably absent from the party. He was largely criticized for his lack of activity. In his farewell Q&A, he claims "I haven’t been able to invest as much time as I would have hoped, and seeing the website in this state during my absence and neglect is nothing short of disheartening".

| Shortly after Kuz's purchase, some Soot-loyalists were wondering where to go. Some soyteens re-activated dead bunker boards or decided to try and turn this very wiki, which was still owned by Soot at the time, into bunker sites. A drama-ridden splinter site called [[Russo-Ukrainian War|Jakparty.soy]] was created immediately following the purchase specifically as an anti-[[Kuz]] imageboard, Jakparty quickly became more dead than [https://www.1chan.net/rail/ objectively] [https://boards.4channel.org/po/ better] [https://reddit.com imageboards]. Two other websites, [[Frenschan]] and bStall quickly positioned themselves as anti-Kuz safe havens, but both sites later supported Kuz.
