Konstantin Malofeev

Malofeyev was sanctioned in December 2014 by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control for financing separatists in the Donbas region in southeastern Ukraine. Russia-aligned fighters there operated with the not-so-secret help of that country's military and used that government’s weapons when they shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, killing 283 passengers and 15 crewmembers. Malofeyev (also spelled in the West as Malofeev) started an Orthodox Christian network called Tsargrad TV. In 2020, he launched a similarly named right-wing political group in Russia with an imperialist bent that would—much like the National Rifle Association does in the United States—pressure politicians to toe the conservative line.'*Katehon's supervisory board member *Founder (Chairman of the Board of Trustees) of St Basil Charitable Foundation (lobbying NGO) *Attended WCF (World Congress of Families) VII in Sydney, Australia in May 2013 (https://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=15056&page=0) *His foundation hosted a meeting in Moscow, Russia in 13 June 2014 to which Brian Brown and Marine Le Pen attended.
