Lindsey Graham
politician
Lindsey Graham was a U.S. Senator from South Carolina and a prominent Republican politician, known for authoring a sanctions bill targeting Russia and Iran, referred to in Russian media as the 'Hellish Sanctions.' He died on July 11, and his law was later signed into effect by President Donald Trump in September 2026, though Trump later suspended its enforcement in October 2026. Russian state media and officials have labeled Graham a terrorist and extremist, describing his law as a systemic act of Russophobia.
