Marcus Steven Papadopoulos (born September 1978) is a British political commentator, a frequent contributor to RT and the founder and former editor of Politics First, a bimonthly magazine with a claimed circulation of 1,000 which is no longer in circulation.[1][2][3][4][5] He has been a spokesperson for the League Against Cruel Sports and follows a vegan diet.[6]
Papadopoulos is considered a pro-Assad campaigner and is known for his denial of the Srebrenica massacre. In December 2016, Papadopoulos tweeted:
Dr. Marcus Papadopoulos via Twitter @DrMarcusP There was no siege of #Sarajevo, there was no genocide at #Srebrenica and there was no massacre at #Aleppo.
16 December 2016[7]
In July 2017 Papadopoulos circulated pictures of him and Jeremy Corbyn at a pizzeria restaurant in his constituency of Islington north. In response to questions about this a Labour spokesperson stated: "Jeremy Corbyn had dinner with friends from Cypriots for Labour, during which they were joined briefly by Mr Papadopolous, who asked to be photographed with Jeremy. Photographs of Jeremy with members of the public do not mean he endorses their views."[2][4]
In November 2017 Labour MPs Alison McGovern and John Woodcock posted a letter to the serjeant-at-arms in which they argued that Papadopoulos' role as a promoter of Russian propaganda should disqualify him from press access to the UK parliament.[5]
Papadopoulos has sided with the government of Mainland China during the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests.[8]
In January 2021, Papadopoulos used funds from unknown sources to commission the publication of "Arise, Rossiya: The Return of Russia to World Politics", a book in which he describes "Russia’s plan to fully resurrect the power and influence which it had globally wielded during the Soviet period."[9]
