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.
