In 2021, the Russian Orthodox oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, who supports far-right movements, approached Trump with an unusual offer.

1/18 Image
The oligarch Malofeev convened a conference at which he announced that he had sent Trump a letter with a personal proposal to create a new media platform.

After Trump's Twitter and FB accounts were blocked in 2021, Malofeev found himself in a similar situation as his channel "Tsargrad" was blocked on YouTube and Google.

Malofeev's letter (23.042021) is addressed to "President Donald J. Trump". In the message, he addresses him as the current head of state and not as a former head of state.
The document was published in Russian and English on the Tsargrad platform.

Malofeev suggested that Trump should cooperate in creating media platforms and pointed out that Russia has programmers and investment capital. In the letter, he also mentioned that the US election was stolen.

October 28, 2022 Twitter was acquired by Elon Musk for 44 billion US dollars.
The new Twitter boss Elon Musk unblocked Trump's profile on November 20, 2022.

At the end of 2010, Malofeev founded the "Safe Internet League", a Russian organization that campaigns against internet censorship.
In 2024, the organization was placed on an EU sanctions list of 27 countries for supporting the Russian government, censorship and propaganda.

In 2015, Malofeev founded his own TV channel "Tsargrad". He was supported by former Fox News director Jack Hanick.
"Tsargrad" spreads conspiracy theories and promotes far-right views and parties.

Dugin, a propagandist and occult fascist, was appointed Director General of Tsargrad.
Dugin and Malofeev actively support far-right parties in the West with the help of an established platform and financial resources.

In 2014, Malofeev became a financier of the "Russian Spring" and the Russian separatists. His former colleague A. Borodai became the first head of the self-proclaimed "DNR", and his security chief Igor Girkin (Strelkov) became defense minister of the "republic".

At the head of all this clique, Malofeev was one of the first Russians to fall under EU and US sanctions.
Since 2022, Malofeev has continued to finance the war in Ukraine and described it as a "war against the West".

12/18 Image
In 2014, Malofeev founded the Russian neo-right-wing fundamental Christian think tank "Katehon" based in Moscow.
The task of this think tank is to coordinate the spread of propaganda, Eurasian imperialism and Dugin's neo-fascist ideas internationally.

13/18 Image
Image
The "Katehon" website is primarily aimed at a Western audience, appears in several languages, promotes far-right parties and actively supports the war. The site was set up to spread conspiracy theories under the guise of a think tank.

The Orthodox oligarch recently married Maria Lvova-Belova. She is known for the fact that an international criminal court issued an arrest warrant against her for abducting children from Ukraine. The same arrest warrant was also issued against Putin.

Malofeev, who maintains close relations with Putin, is currently being financed by large Russian state-owned companies via Cypriot offshore companies.

Malofeev Quotes:

"The decline of Europe has already begun"
"The collapse of the world will happen the American way"
"The monarchy in the modern world is a guarantor of stability"
"Putin was to be made emperor and Russia an empire"

The American blogger Mario Naufal, Andrew Napolitano (former New Jersey Supreme Court judge) and Larry C. Johnson (former CIA analyst) visited Moscow in early March and met with Malofeev and Dugin.
In an interview with Naufal, Malofeev explained that Russia and the United States will determine what the post-war world order will look like.

Sevim Dagdelen ist ein bekanntes Gesicht des BSW, doch wer ist der Mann an ihrer Seite?
Diese seltene Aufnahme zeigt Sergej Kiritschuk aus der Ukraine.

🧵1/15 Image
Sergej Kiritschuk war einer der Gründer der ukrainischen prorussischen Organisation Borotba im Jahr 2011, die aus der Vereinigung eines Teils der Organisation der Marxisten hervorging. Borotba bezeichnet sich selbst offiziell als antifaschistisch und marxistisch-leninistisch. Am Gründungskongress nahmen auch Delegierte aus Schweden und Russland teil.

Die Surkow-Leaks entlarvten pro-russische Akteure wie Sergej Kiritschuk, Wiktor Schapinow und andere und zeigten, dass die Organisation Borotba in Wirklichkeit mit russischen, prorussischen sowie rechtsextremen, faschistischen Gruppen und separatistischen Milizen kooperierte. Darüber hinaus verbreitete Borotba Narrative, die vollständig mit den Aussagen strategischer Dokumente des Kremls übereinstimmten.

Vom Linken-Kader zum Co-Landesvorsitzenden des BSW in NRW: Wie Andrej Hunko zum Paradebeispiel prorussischer Politik in Deutschland wurde.

🧵1/23 Image
Andrej Konstantin Hunko ist ein deutscher Politiker und seit 2025 Co-Vorsitzender des BSW in Nordrhein-Westfalen (zuvor Die Linke, WASG, PDS). Wie viele andere Mitglieder dieser Partei fungiert er, ganz "zufälligerweise", auch als radikaler Verfechter der „Russischen Welt“.

🧵2/23Image
Im April 2014 besuchte Andrej Hunko (DIE LINKE) mit einer Bundestagsdelegation den Osten der Ukraine. Er bezeichnete die Besetzungen in Donezk als legitimen Protest und stellte sie auf eine Stufe mit dem Maidan. Hunko kritisierte die Kiewer Regierung als illegitim und warnte davor, die Verantwortung für die Eskalation einseitig bei Russland zu suchen.

Paramilitärische Struktur und Propaganda: Das SKVRiZ-Netzwerk russischer Kosaken unter Schirmherrschaft der Botschaft, getarnt als Kultur im Russischen Haus Berlin. Ein europaweites Netzwerk mit Zentrum in Deutschland, das bislang jeglichen Sanktionen entgeht.

Der „Bund der Kosaken-Krieger Russlands und des Auslands“ (Союз казаков-воинов России и Зарубежья) ist eine Organisation mit Sitz in Moskau und wurde 2014 gegründet. Sie koordiniert die Kosakenstrukturen innerhalb Russlands und baut zugleich gezielt Netzwerke im Ausland aus.

Der Abfluss sensibler Polizei-Daten: Die Spur aus dem FPÖ-Umfeld zur AfD und die Verbindung zu russischen Geheimdiensten

🧵1/19 Image
Der aktuelle Skandal um die FPÖ wegen der Weitergabe von Daten österreichischer Polizisten an Russland betrifft das Jahr 2018 – genau jenes Jahr, das ich bereits im Zusammenhang mit der Moskau-Reise und dem Treffen von Herbert Kickl mit einem Polizeigeneral der früher beim KGB diente, beschrieben habe. Der Ex-FPÖ-Abgeordnete Hans-Jörg Jenewein sowie Egisto Ott und Jan Marsalek sind die zentralen Figuren dieses Datenskandals.

🧵2/19Image
Image
Recherchen des Falter aus dem April 2026 belasten die FPÖ im Zusammenhang mit einem massiven Datenskandal. Im Zentrum steht der Vorwurf, dass Datensätze von 36.368 österreichischen Polizistinnen und Polizisten mutmaßlich an Kreml-Agenten gelangt sein sollen. Die Daten sollen 2018 während der Amtszeit von Innenminister Herbert Kickl entwendet worden sein.

Russia’s Enemies List: How Medvedev’s tech hub and FSB cadres control the website “Russophobes” behind anonymous operators

🧵1/20 Image
So-called "Russian activists" launched a website called "Russophobes" (Русофобы) in March 2025. The platform serves to publish lists of organizations, public movements, and individuals who, in the opinion of these activists, harm Russia's interests. According to reports, "veterans and patriots" are also among those involved.

🧵2/20Image
The platform publishes information including dossiers on so-called "enemies" of Russia inside and outside the country. This includes all persons who advocate for democracy and against the war or support Ukraine in its resistance against Russian aggression.

I have nine of Orbán’s "favorite projects" that were funded by the EU.

Let’s take a look!
1️⃣ The „Great Turtle House“ in Rakamaz cost 1 billion HUF:

The eco-center is a ruin, the lookout tower is broken, and the promised water trail doesn't exist. It’s pure decay: the elevator is out of order and the halls are empty. Image
2️⃣ In Tyukod, eleven lookout towers were built for 264 million HUF (683.600 €). Today, only five remain; four were demolished and two are missing. The wooden towers stand unused in the forest and are rotting away. Image
