A well-known russian political strategist, publicist, and author of propaganda materials that actively promote kremlin narratives justifying aggression against Ukraine. His work is systemic in nature, reflecting his deliberate participation in russia’s hybrid war against Ukraine on the information front.
He is the author of the books "The Fate of the Empire. A russian View of European Civilization", "The World Crisis. East and West in the New Century", and "The Fate of the Empire", as well as co-author of the book "The Ideology of russian Statehood", considered his main contribution within the "Zinovyev Club", an expert community created to promote a "fair image of russia" and expand its ideological influence internationally.
He authored the articles "What Ukraine We Don’t Need" (2021), "What russia Should Do with Ukraine," and "Why the West Is Afraid of the Denazification of Ukraine" (April 2022), published by the state-owned outlet RIA Novosti. These pieces became reference examples of aggressive anti-Ukrainian propaganda. In them, Sergeytsev openly denies Ukraine’s right to exist as a sovereign state and calls for its "denazification" and "de-Ukrainization". The articles provoked international outrage for openly calling for the destruction of Ukrainian national identity, essentially providing an ideological justification for genocide.
Sergeytsev frequently comments publicly on current events through russian state-controlled media, including Izvestia, RT, and RIA Novosti, where he promotes narratives of russia’s alleged "liberation mission" in Ukraine.
His materials are widely reproduced by russian media outlets and Telegram channels across the russian-language information space, amplifying their reach and directly shaping anti-Ukrainian public opinion both within russia and among pro-russian audiences abroad.
In 2012, he co-produced and co-wrote the screenplay for the russian feature film "Match," which Ukraine’s State Film Agency designated as propaganda and banned in 2014.
