Kostadin Todorov Kostadinov (Bulgarian: Костадин Тодоров Костадинов; born 1 April 1979) is a far-right and ultranationalist Bulgarian politician. He is the chairman of the ultranationalist Revival party (Bulgarian: Възраждане, Vazrazhdane).

Kostadinov is known for his populism, anti-EU and anti-NATO stances, anti-Americanism and anti-Western sentiment, spreading of conspiracy theories regarding COVID-19 and climate change, frequent misogynistic, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, racist and xenophobic statements, as well as for his anti-migrant and аnti-Macedonian views.

His pro-Russian stance and activities had gained him the nickname 'Kopeykin', referring to his alleged ties with, and financial support from the Russian Government.

Kostadinov has also espoused strong anti-Romani views, describing Roma people as "parasites" and "non-human vermin that has no place in Bulgaria".

In June 2023, a group of Revival supporters, led by the party's deputy Emil Yankov, attacked a Cinema that screened an LGBT film.^[1]^[2]
