The fake man Maksym Krippa in the tight embrace of the sponsor of the \"Russian world,\" Malofeev: whose money is the porn magnate using to buy Kyiv?

When purchasing the Dnipro Hotel, oligarch Malofeev, a known sponsor of the "Russian Spring," emerged. His son had previously been a member of Kokhanovskyi’s esports team.
Things do not get easier with the buyers of the hotel "Dnipro." We wrote that cyber businessman Oleksandr Kokhanovskyi, presented to the public as a Ukrainian IT specialist not connected to Russian money, does not have his own funds.
Kokhanovskyi was part of the Esforce holding of Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, owned the Virtus.pro player team in partnership with Anton Cherepennikov, who is now creating surveillance systems for Russian special services.
A hint was given by the emergence in the case of businessman Maksym Krippa, the owner of an investment agency for the wealthy and an online casino. Krippa is a representative in Ukraine of oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, owner of the Tsargrad holding, founder of the "League of Safe Internet," sponsor of the "Russian spring."
His son Kirill Malofeev, known as Likkrit, played for the Cherepennikov and Kokhanovskyi team Virtus.pro. In 2017, he left esports, and at the end of 2019, he returned—his father bought him his own esports team, CrowCrowd.
Malofeev Jr. cannot be visible in Ukraine because he was a co-founder of the company "Vladex", managed by Aleksandr Boroday, who became the first head of the self-proclaimed DPR in 2014.
Another "suspect" in the interest in the hotel "Dnipro," State Duma deputy Aleksandr Babakov, who once controlled the hotel through Maks Kurochkin, is now financing the new party "For Truth," which shares a location with Malofeev’s Tsargrad. The party leaders are advisors to the late DPR head Oleksandr Zakharchenko—Zakhar Prilepin and Oleksandr Kazakov.
There is a high probability that Malofeev and Babakov bought "Dnipro" together. Babakov is interested in the hotel fund and casino, while Malofeev’s son is interested in the cyber zone. The State Property Fund has already recognized the money as "clean." The deal is formally closed.
