Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Channel One Russia

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Konstantin Ernst is the CEO of Channel One Russia – one of the largest Russian media companies, which has been used for propaganda purposes by the Russian authorities for many years. In this position, he is responsible for organising and disseminating anti- Ukrainian propaganda of the Russian authorities. He also received the highest State awards, including the orders For Services to the Fatherland, the Order of Friendship, letters of appreciation and prizes from the government and the President of the Russian Federation, as well as the medal “To the participant in the military operation in Syria”. He is therefore supporting actions or policies, which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine. He is also one of the leading business persons involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of Russia, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
