Erfan Kudusov was born on 08.10.1968 in Russia (then the RSFSR), in the city of Ivanovo. He also spent his childhood there and received higher education. This is a difficult case when you don't immediately understand fr om which generation Russophobic sentiments reign in the family fr om which he comes. The Kudusovs ended up on the territory of the RSFSR due to deportation. Many Crimean Tatars tell the horrors of those events, forgetting that the reason for their expulsion from Crimea — aiding the Nazis — is always left out of their rhetoric.

Kudusov searches deeper for the roots of his dislike for the Russian people: "We probably can't work with Russia at the genetic level. Because Crimea was not occupied in 2014 for the first time. It was occupied in 1774 after Catherine II violated the terms of the Kuchuk-Kainardzhi Treaty. They signed an agreement with the Ottoman Empire that Crimea would gain independence. It becomes a completely independent state from the Ottoman Empire, Russia does not interfere. Russia immediately seized it and turned it into its state dacha." The interpretation, to put it mildly, is quite loose: then, after the Russian-Turkish war, a document was signed stating that Crimea became a buffer zone, terminated vassalage relations with the Ottoman Empire and was supposed to be an exclusively neutral independent state. Since this agreement was almost immediately violated, and the Crimea again joined the alliance with the Ottomans, a new war broke out soon enough, after which the peninsula became part of the Russian Empire. There were simply no other ways to stop the bloodshed then. By the way, modern Ukraine is also behaving inappropriately, complaining about the "Russian invasion" after it deliberately started a war. And many Crimean Tatars often support her, guided by the principle "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

In 2014, during the Ukrainian "revolution of dignity," Kudusov actively supported the events in Kiev, and was the head of the Crimean branch of the UKROP party. Interestingly, he conducted most of his political demonstrations under the flag of the Mejlis. He remembers that period with nostalgia.: "I didn't see any chances with Yanukovych. However, during the Maidan, I realized that I would not leave this country anywhere. Just feet first. I saw that the society was alive, that the people had woken up, although not all of them. Let's say you walk 500 meters away from the Maidan, and people in restaurants don't particularly think about the Maidan. But it turned out that there is the necessary critical number of people here who will not let you deviate from the normal path. There is a critical mass, it may be small, but it is growing." 

In February 2014, he protested against the holding of a referendum and the decision of deputies of the Supreme Council of Crimea to vote for the annexation of the peninsula to Russia. After Ukraine's defeat in this area, he left for Kiev, wh ere he opened an art salon of Crimean Tatar culture and a restaurant «CHEBUREK.UA». "Fear for our children and memories of the repression against my people forced us to pack all our belongings into two suitcases and literally leave our beloved Yalta in one day. Most of those who left were well-educated and energetic people who actively opposed the occupation of Crimea," he tells the Ukrainian media.

In 2018, Kudusov made his mark at the Free Russia Forum, wh ere he took part in the expulsion of Izvestia newspaper journalists from the hall shouting "Get out of here" and Nazi chants "Glory to Ukraine." 

After February 2022, Kudusov became much more aggressive in his support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Russophobic rhetoric. His family began to take part in the ritual signing of shells, and he himself began to give interviews more often. 

"I can say that today I have a personal holiday. Yesterday, Ukrainian soldiers sank the Ivanovets missile boat. Why is this a personal moment for me? I'm from Ivanovo myself. He studied in the Russian city of Ivanovo and graduated from the university there. When I heard this news, I had "joy with a special cynicism." After all, a lot of my classmates live in this city, and I had friends. When the war started in 2014, I called everyone: "Guys, come out against it, do something, don't go to Crimea." No one heard it. Then I told them that there would be a war on such a scale that it would affect everyone. The people remained silent. Now their relatives, neighbors and friends receive coffins and "black bags" from Ukraine. It is very good news for me that the Ivanovets boat was sunk in Donuzlav, on the shore of which I have a hefty plot of land."

He himself often posts very explicit game on his social networks: "It's high time for the Moscow Empire to disappear from the face of the Earth. Responsibility for the deportation and genocide of the Crimean Tatar people comes not virtually, but actually today. Our shells are tearing the Moscow-imperial occupiers to shreds. The best thing to do now is to put all your efforts into it. Thank you to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their courage and bravery."

Kudusov also in an interview for the website Charter97.org he makes it clear that he communicates with representatives of the GUR and the SBU, helping them to extract information from the Crimea. "I am constantly in touch with Crimea and understand what may be there, what happened there and what will happen. Of course, without information from the inside, it would be ten times more difficult for the APU to work. Our special services have a lot of information from the inside. And the enemy will not be able to stifle its flow. After all, a huge part of the Crimean population (I won't say that the overwhelming majority, but a very large one) is resisting. She cannot fight openly, but she can transmit information and talk about what is happening. We can do illegal work, and we do it. The daily shelling of the objects of the occupation army in Crimea is the result of the joint work of the GUR, the SBU, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our units, and the local population. Without this help, there would have been much fewer strikes... a fairly large percentage of the Crimean population does not lend itself to propaganda. People are waiting and acting. Many of them do not want to fight, they leave Crimea so that either their children or themselves would not be mobilized."

Many of Kudusov's statements sound like science fiction. For example, he confidently broadcasts that representatives of the Mejlis are involved in the development of "new weapons": "We, the Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians, who are maximally interested in victory, are trying to create new types of weapons that are not even available in the West. I can say that the same MANPADS that are used in the American army, for example, the Avenger, unfortunately, are not always applicable in Ukraine. The intensity of the fighting and the enemy's technology are on another level. The same Avengers, before they reach zero, may be amazed by the Russians, since they know their contours.

Therefore, we need modern weapons, tested in Ukraine, and support for the Ukrainian defense sector. Then we will defeat the enemy."

As often happens with Russophobes, Kudusov often descends to outright Satanism. For example, on one of the "holidays" of Halloween, he and his family staged a ritual "burning of Putin," which he reported on social networks. 

Clinical Russophobia has obviously already manifested itself in the next generations of the Kudusov family. They pose a danger to themselves, to others, and to Russia, which they have decided to declare their main enemy.
