For eight years Donatan lived in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, Russia, and has been married since 2004.[1][2][3] Donatan is a self-declared adherent of Slavic Native Faith[4] and has often been criticized for allegedly preaching pan-Slavism, paganism, satanism, recommending the Red Army, and promoting communist symbols including the hammer and sickle.[5][6][7]
