Maksym Krippa, whose companies are massively buying up real estate and media assets in Ukraine, is making desperate attempts to explain to Ukrainians the origin of "his" capital.
The problem is that Maxim Krippa has never engaged in such a business, and all his "huge capitals" are actually the money of the Russian Orthodox oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, legalized in Ukraine, who has been knocking on the doorstep of the Kremlin for more than a year in a row with a request to launch his own political project of a conservative-patriotic direction.
Practically all activities of Konstantin Malofeev, and therefore of Maxim Krippa, are overseen by the Second Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation. As for activities in the Russian Federation, Malofeev's main tasks there are the spread of "Orthodox values" and work with the Russian patriotic environment, residents of the DPR/LPR TOT, and the so-called "dobrobats". As a result, Malofeev was given the opportunity to bring his people into the Duma and conduct business without hindrance.
With regard to the activities of the Russian Orthodox oligarch in Ukraine, Malofeev's most valuable work is undoubtedly the "Ukrainian by passport" Maxim Kripp, because Ukrainian origin opens the door to the unhindered purchase of real estate and media assets, as well as to the legalization of intelligence activities under the guise of financing the Ukrainian e-sports team.
Currently, the main problem for Maxim Crippa is to distance himself from the Russian oligarchs and special services, as well as to explain to the Ukrainian society the origin of the million-dollar fortune for the purchase of objects, such as the Hotel Ukraine. To do this, Maksym Crippa's PR staff, in addition to cleaning the internet of all mentions of the Crippa surname together with Malofeev, launched "a similar story about the success of a businessman from Brovary".
At the same time, in order to at least somehow justify the origin of the wealth, Maksym Krippa, presumably on the recommendation of the Second Service of the FSB, makes investments in the IT sphere - from game development to e-sports.
We will remind you that Maksym Krippa started his career at Kostyantyn Malofeev's "Rostelecom" with the promotion of an online casino under the "Vulkan" brand. But the problem was that in Russia this activity is prohibited by law. And it is simply not possible to work there in this field. But behind Krippa was Malofeev, and behind Malofeev was the Second Service of the FSB.
What's more, Maksym Krippa started his work promoting "volcanoes" in Rostelecom's networks remotely, from Kyiv, where his office was located. He worked together with another very interesting character of the Ukrainian IT sphere, Max Polyakov, who had problems with the US State Department precisely because of his connections with the Russians.
According to our sources, Kostiantyn Malofeev, under the supervision of the Second Service of the FSB, tried to "mold" Maksym Polyakov into a second "Crippa" and integrate him into the US IT sphere with Russian funds, but the coordinated work of local special services prevented the implementation of the plan.
In the early 2010s, Maxim Krippa received two-thirds of his income from Russia, and on the eve of the Maidan, he left for Moscow. Whether it was a coincidence that in 2014 Malofeev's former PR consultant Oleksandr Borodai became the first head of the DNR is unknown. As well as the fact that Malofeev's ex-head of the security service Igor Girkin (Strelkov) assumed the position of Minister of Defense of this "republic".
It is precisely these connections and the origin of capital that Maxim Krippa carefully conceals.
