From Mirror (caution: tabloid):
Vladimir Putin has turned on a woman known as his ‘favourite witch’ after branding her an “extremist” – despite supporting him and his war against Ukraine.
Alyona Polyn, also known as Elena Sulikova, 44, is accused by the Putin regime of insulting the feelings of Orthodox believers. Polyn heads the so-called Empire of the Strongest Witches and is seen by Ukrainian intelligence as working for Putin’s FSB and SVR intelligence agencies. Polyn – real name Elena Sulikova – claims she inherited magical powers from her grandmother. She famously organised a coven of witches in support of Putin and his war, while casting spells on his enemies.
