In 2017-2020, he was a member of the Public Chamber of Russia. In the 2018 presidential elections, he was a trusted representative of President Vladimir Putin. He spreads Russian propaganda through his show ‘The Fate of a Man’ on the state TV channel ‘Russia-1’, and he has a large audience on social networks, where he distributes official Russian propaganda. In his posts on social networks, he calls the occupied territories of Ukraine Russian. His comments associate the West and Ukraine with godlessness and the devil, which is in line with official Russian propaganda claiming that one of the goals of the war of aggression against Ukraine is the ‘fight against godlessness’. Furthermore, he spreads propaganda through his show. Boris Korchevnikov participates in fundraisers for pro-Russian fighters and encourages Russians to donate. Thus, he publicly expressed his support for the war of aggression against Ukraine. These actions became part of a propaganda campaign by the Russian authorities aimed at increasing support for military aggression among the citizens of Russia. Citizens’ support of the war of aggression is an important condition for the continuation of the war. Therefore, Boris Korchevnikov is responsible for, supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, or stability or security in Ukraine.
