Kirill Malofeev’s account with the nickname Likkrit and 28,000 followers has been blocked as part of sanctions against his father. Let me remind you that there is a Russian businessman and politician who is referred to as one of the wallets of the “Russian world”. Konstantin Malofeev is under international sanctions. He headed the board of directors of the group of companies “Tsargrad” and founded the channel “Tsargrad TV”. Second, it conducts relentless propaganda and was banned on YouTube in July 2020. Google later got a lawsuit that it lost. As previously reported, the company was able to convict one billion rubles and transfer them to the war against Ukraine.

Now the Moscow Arbitration Court has decided to confiscate Amazon’s property and Twitch streaming platform due to the e-athlete’s account being blocked. The decision was taken on 16 November.

Twitch and Amazon feel higher than Russian law, a sovereign state. They arbitrarily violate their contractual obligations. In essence, such actions are censorship and discrimination against Russian esports and viewers.
– Forbes complains about Kyrylo Malofeev.

The representative of Kirill Malofeev emphasized that his case should set an example to protect the interests of the entire community of esports players and “all Russian athletes in general”.

This isn’t the first time Malofeev has filed against Twitch and Amazon, but it was previously dismissed for not being registered as an entrepreneur. The streamer demanded that the account be restored and the ability to monetize it to the state it was before the “infringement of rights”. He demanded that in case of non-compliance with the requirements of the court, from the third day, the accused should be fined 100,000 rubles for each day after the verdict is rendered. At the same time, the daily penalty amount should be doubled every week (starting from the second week).

As the Russian Forbes noted, the Amazon company has assets on the territory of Russia, but which ones will be frozen, since during the implementation of the decision the security measures will be determined by the bailiffs.
