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.

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
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.

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.
