Steven Seagal

Actor Steven Seagal recently joined Russia's A Just Russia - Patriots - For Truth party where he will focus on environmental issues.

Seagal and Putin have been close friends for years, and in 2018 the Russian leader tasked the actor with improving ties between Moscow and Washington.

The Hollywood star met Nicolás Maduro, whose country is subject to Western sanctions over a disputed election.

Multiple women have accused Steven Seagal of sexual harassment, assault and rape, allegations he denies.

Seagal threw his hat in the ring to take the reins at Primorye, after a bungled run-off election.

Russia governed Alaska and patches of the Pacific coast as a colonial power and Moscow wants the actor to highlight Moscow's "legacy."

Bitcoiin brand ambassador Steven Seagal was granted Russian citizenship by Putin in 2016.

"Inside Edition" correspondent Lisa Guerrero tells Newsweek the action star propositioned her on the set of a film.

"No weapons just hand to hand," the former two-time world heavyweight boxing champion wrote. "I use boxing he is free to use whatever."

Football players are apparently holding 'the United States of America and the world hostage' with their political views.

The 'Exit Wounds' and 'Hard to Kill' actor already has a Serbian passport.

The actor's visit to Russia comes as he hinted he may obtain Russian citizenship.

The martial arts actor said frequent visits to Russia would suit him.

Bernie Ecclestone, Silvio Berlusconi, Steven Seagal and, perhaps, Donald Trump have joined the ranks of Putin's friends.

The U.S. actor and martial artist will also take part in Aikido training in Serbia.

Seagal, a friend of Putin, has a "big creative palette," according to Nikita Mikhalkov.
