Pierre Malinowski (born 5 August 1987) is a former French Army corporal and former parliamentary assistant to the European Parliament.

[2] Le Monde also reports that he is supported by Geoffroy Lejeune, editor-in-chief of Valeurs actuelles, a French conservative political magazine.

[5] According to his site, he was invited to the inauguration of Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin in May 2018,[9] and is known to be close to the Russian President, whom he met after an archaeological dig in France.

[10] Malinowski confirmed to France 2 via telephone that he participated in the so-called "Air Cocaine Affair," according to Le Parisien.

"[2] After the November 2015 Paris attacks, he contacted the head of the Assyrian French Legion—a group of ex-combatants—who convinced Malinowski to join them in fighting alongside Kurdish fighters in Iraq's Sinjar region.

[2] The body was buried at a cemetery in Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand in a ceremony involving Alexandre Orlov, the Russian ambassador to France.

The team of researchers was led by Malinowski and made up of different specialists, including topographers, historians, and French and Russian students.

However, the coronavirus pandemic and the poisoning of Alexei Navalny made the French government dismiss the plan.

[2] His return and burial in France gave rise to a controversy; the French government refused to repatriate General Gudin, so Malinowski decided to independently organize return of the remains of the general from Moscow to Paris on 13 July 2021 via an Airbus A320 aircraft, donated by Russian oligarch Andry Kozystin.

[6] French Secretary of State to the Minister of the Armed Forces, Geneviève Darrieussecq, eventually received the body in a ceremony at Paris–Le Bourget Airport.

[2] In September 2019, 126 bodies of soldiers from the Grand Army and of the Tsar were exhumed; this included three first-aid women and three children drummers.

[17] On 19–30 April 2021, a project is organized in Volgograd on the theme of the battle of Stalingrad, with the presence of veterans from Russia, France and USA.

[18] On 29 October 2021, the foundation organizes a meeting of Russian, French and American veterans in Saint-Petersburg at the Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery, to commemorate the defense of the Siege of Leningrad.

[19] In September 2023, Pierre Malinowski finds the remains of 6 soldiers from the Russian Expeditionary Force in France, killed on 16 April 1917 in Courcy.

After more than 20 years of research by his father, Alain Malinowski, he decided to illegally dig it up in January 2020, forcing the hand of the French and German governments.
