This is Artem Klyushin.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what he does for a living, but if social media is any indication, he's sort of a big deal. He's young but appears to be quite rich, possibly billionaire level rich.

And if you check out his Instagram account, he takes great pride in the fact that he partied it up with Donald Trump and the Agalarovs at the Miss Universe Pageant held in Moscow in 2013.

There's at least a dozen of other pictures of him at Miss Universe on his Instagram account.*

A couple other things about Klyushin. He doesn't seem to care much for the sanctions imposed on Russia following their 2014 invasion of Ukraine. Just for example, on his Twitter:

Translation: "A real blow to the US as anti-sanctions would, in my opinion, be a complete embargo on the import of dollars into the territory of the Russian Federation "

If you look at his Facebook page, you'll find hundreds of more pictures. You'll see many photos praising Putin and expressing pro-Russian nationalist sentiments. And even a few pictures that indicate that Klyushin has been associated with Putin himself dating back several years:

And it's not only Putin he has an affinity towards. If you check out other pictures on his Facebook, as well as postings on Twitter, you'll see that Klyushin has long supported Donald Trump ever since he first met him in 2013, and that even reaches up to wishing him a happy birthday last month:

Between Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, there's still a lot more to sift through. But let's just recap for a quick moment what we do know:

1. Young Russian billionaire
2. Associated with Putin and a strong supporter of Putin
3. Partied with Trump at Miss Universe in 2013
4. Strong advocate for dropping sanctions against Russia
5. Vocal supporter on social media for Trump throughout Presidential campaign and up to present date

I'm not saying this definitely proves anything, but it certainly is one more evidence of brazen, out in the open behavior by connected Russians supportive of Donald Trump.

*The woman in the picture is named Yulia Alferova.** She does real estate, personal relations and online marketing in Russia. She's on record as having idolized Trump in his business career, and denying the more salicious allegations of the Steele Dossier.

**EDIT February 2018--Unbeknownst to me until recently, Alferova was in fact Klyushin's wife at the time of the 2013 Miss Universe pageant. Supposedly they've since split. Shortly after the Miss Universe pageant, Alferova begun promoting Trump as a presidential candidate on Twitter, long before he officially announced.

4. More information

This guy is a prominent money launderer in Russia connected with Colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko. He is a KGB agent trained in guns, swords and knives. He also makes references to the elimination of people who contest the Russian Federation. He used to guard Putin when he was young (about 21, he is 35 now) and he also is into drugs. Like Colonel, he posts about Rolex's, luxury cars and suitcases of American money. He seems to stalk certain people online and he also has unusual affiliations to Yousef Prigozhin and Valeriya. His mother Natalia works for Sberbank and his father is deceased. He is a con artist and he also has severe depressive disorder. He does not have billions of dollars and from observation, he does not even own his own car. His apartment is most likely one of Colonel's 13 apartments to hide money. On his birthday he had a cake made that depicted a suitcase with American money in it. He just became co-owner of a "Wellness Bar" named NEBO in the Russian Federation which is known for the solicitation of prostitutes. His voice can be heard in a video that was released to expose the Colonel that was posted by a prominent Russian news organization. He is supposed to hold an administrative job in the Russian State Duma which is supposed to have something to do with education and children, although he has no children and is no longer married to Yulya Alferova. He used to work in an administrative position under the Colonel on an anti corruption board (go figure). It is good that you are tracking his activities, he should never come to the United States, nor be offered asylum. He was in the UAE recently with the Colonel.

Keep up the good work! If you have any questions, let me know...

6. Followed by Artem Klyushin as Well! Why?!

I received a notification I too am followed by Artem. I thought it odd since I checked out his Twitter page yet I did not interact with him or follow him. I am unable to read Russian language.

From reading the above posts, it’s likely he found me through a “like” or retweet of Seth Abramson’s posts. I’m an avid follower of Seth and often research some of the Russian participants.

I’m glad I found this site. There appears to be some very interesting information here.
