Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reveal that Konstantin Sokolov, a University of Chicago Booth alumnus and former First Vice Chairman & Global CFO at Eastfield, made three political donations totaling $3,600 to support Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential bid.
According to the filings:
- $2,300 went directly to OBAMA FOR AMERICA (the principal campaign committee).
- $1,300 was contributed to the OBAMA VICTORY FUND (a joint fundraising committee supporting the Democratic ticket).
All contributions were made in October 2008 from Chicago, Illinois, directly linking the Russian executive to the Democratic candidate during the historic election cycle.
