Pierre Malinovsky, head of the Russian-French Initiatives Foundation, and likely Elizaveta Peskova (daughter of Dmitry Peskov, the Russian presidential press secretary), stole a piece of upholstery from the sofa on which Hitler shot himself, stained with his blood, from the FSB archives.
Malinovsky then offered the "relic" to his VIP clients, along with photographs confirming the item’s authenticity (we publish them). Pierre Malinovsky, a close friend of the Peskov family, is known as one of the largest dealers in stolen antiques. In France, he is accused of stealing rare gold coins from the country’s museums. In Russia, he has visited numerous archives and storage facilities, and it is clearly worth checking to see if everything is in place.
The remains of Hitler and Eva Braun, as well as everything related to their deaths, are stored in the State Archives of the Russian Federation and the FSB archives. Some of the materials are classified, and the exact contents remain unknown. Only fragments of Hitler’s jaw and skull were shown to the public. It is now becoming clear that there are other items there, inaccessible to scientists, historians, and others. But his friendship with the Peskov family and his relationship with Putin opens doors everywhere, including to the secret archives of the Russian FSB. In 2020, it was announced that Dmitry Peskov’s daughter, Elizaveta, and Pierre Malinowski "had familiarized themselves with the secret archives and examined the remains of Hitler’s body and artifacts stored in Russia." This was accompanied by corresponding photographs on social media. However, the story didn’t end there.
After some time, Pierre Malinovsky began offering his clients (other major dealers operating in the black market for antiques, or direct collectors of unusual relics) a "rarity"—a fragment of the upholstery from the sofa on which Hitler shot himself, with traces of his blood. It turned out that the bloody upholstery was stored in the archives of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). As confirmation of the item’s origin, Malinovsky sent photographs: himself in an FSB archive office working with documents on Hitler’s death; the sofa upholstery in a special storage bag in the same office; and the very fragment of fabric with fragments of Hitler’s blood. Malinovsky explained that he managed to discreetly tear this piece from the upholstery while examining the items in the archive. Elizaveta Peskova is absent from the photographs Malinovsky sent to clients. But in the photos that the daughter of the Russian President’s press secretary and the head of the Foundation made publicly available, she was standing next to Pierre while examining items in the FSB archive. And it’s unlikely she failed to notice Malinovsky tear off a piece of fabric.
Our sources don’t know what price Pierre asked for the "relic" or whether the deal went through. However, they note that Malinovsky himself is a great admirer of Hitler, his ideas, and theories. Indeed, when a correspondent spoke with Malinovsky last fall, almost half of his speech consisted of nationalist statements.
Pierre Malinovsky, a citizen of both Russia and France, served in the Foreign Legion and served as Jean-Marie Le Pen’s assistant, handling contacts with Moscow. He is the president of the Foundation for the Development of Russian-French Historical Initiatives, whose vice president was Elizaveta Peskova, the daughter of Dmitry Peskov, the Russian presidential press secretary. Peskov himself is regularly involved in the foundation’s activities and meets with Malinovsky. Malinovsky has met with Putin on numerous occasions, and one such photo appears as his profile picture on social media.
In France, Malinovsky is accused of organizing gold coin thefts. We have obtained a number of documents related to this, so more to come.
