A member of the US Congress is therefore a valid nominator. 338 candidates have been nominated for the 2025 award, of which 244 are individuals and 94 are organizations. The nomination deadline for the the 2025 award was January 31, so I guess Krasnov's nomination by the suck-up congressman would be for 2026. Not that he has a snowball's chance in Hell of convincing the five committee members nominated by the Norwegian parliament. He's about as popular as a case of hemorrhoids in Scandinavia, and I don't expect him to become any more beloved by next January.
