Let's revisit #CarterPage. Did you know: #Page visited Moscow on $$ donated by AlfaBank's Petr Aven. AlfaBank: partnered with deVos's Amway; had Richard Burt, Trump's first foreign speech writer, on its board. Burt & Page both worked for Gazprom.

2. Page announced Tillerson's nomination on Dec 12, 2016, in Moscow. Trump announced Tillerson in the US on Dec. 13. Katehon, Dugin's project, covered Page's visit/speech. Dugin is nicknamed "Putin's brain." medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…

3. Dugin's projects and publications (in Russian and English) like Katehon and “Orthodox TV channel” Tsargrad are sponsored by Russian right-wing nationalist Konstantin Malofeev, the founder of Marshall Capital, one of the leading Russian investment groups.

4. Malofeev is connected with Russian Orthodox Church and Patriarch Kirill, a former KGB officer and a close ally of Putin. Malofeev is one of the chief financiers of Russian mercenaries and separatists fighting against the Ukrainian government.

5. There is a lot on #CarterPage but these facts are usually overlooked ☝. Alfa Bank is at the heart of the collusion. Aven has helped Putin come to power in 1990s.👇👇👇 medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
