🚨 Venedig unter Schock: Der Kreml-Clan übernimmt die Lagune
​Nach zwei Jahren Funkstille öffnet der russische Nationalpavillon in Venedig wieder seine Pforten – doch es ist keine Rückkehr der Kunst, sondern eine Machtdemonstration des russischen Sicherheitsapparats.

Die operative Führung liegt direkt in den Händen der Kreml-Erbinnen:

Anastasia Karneeva, Tochter des Rostec-Vize und FSB-Generals Nikolai Wolobujew, und Ekaterina Vinokurova, Tochter von Außenminister Sergej Lawrow.

Was als kultureller Dialog getarnt wird, ist eine strategische Operation unter der Schirmherrschaft der russischen Rüstungsindustrie. Während russische Raketen ukrainische Museen in Schutt und Asche legen, besetzt die Elite des Aggressors über eine private Agentur die wichtigste Kunstbühne Europas

Der aktuelle Bericht von @InformNapalm dokumentiert lückenlos, wie der Kreml die Autonomie europäischer Kulturinstitutionen nutzt, um den Sicherheitsapparat und sanktionierte Eliten mitten im Schengen-Raum zu positionieren.

Hinter der Fassade einer „Biennale des Dissens“ agiert ein Netzwerk aus Rüstungsmanagern, FSB-Kadern und den Töchtern der Moskauer Machtelite.

​Die Tragweite dieser Enttarnung ist existenziell: Sie zwingt die EU-Kommission zu einem beispiellosen finanziellen Ultimatum und die Regierung Meloni in eine Zerreißprobe zwischen diplomatischer Solidarität mit Kyjiw und der eigenen kulturellen Souveränität.

Hier meine Dokumentation in drei Threads, die die operative Mechanik dieser Einflussnahme aufzeigt:

1.🧵​Die geheimdienstliche Unterwanderung: Wer die 38 Akteure im Pavillon wirklich sind.

2.🧵​Das Ultimatum aus Brüssel: Warum die Finanzierung der gesamten Biennale am seidenen Faden hängt.

3.🧵​Melonis Zerreißprobe: Wie die italienische Regierung versucht, den administrativen Kontrollverlust zu heilen.

[Ulf Kristersson @SwedishPM]

Dear Viktor,

I understand that there is an election campaign in your country, and that this time you are truly being challenged for power.

But we do not interfere in your election campaign, nor do we want to become part of it.

Sweden and the Swedish people have always been friends of Hungary and the Hungarian people, as you know. We were friends of Hungary before your government, during your government, and we will remain so after your government.

We remember when Hitler’s genocide of Jews struck Hungary, and how Sweden in 1944 sent diplomat Raoul Wallenberg on a special mission to Budapest, to save as many Hungarian lives as possible.

Tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews survived because we provided them with provisional protective passports and citizenship here in Sweden. When the Soviet Union later invaded Hungary, Raoul Wallenberg was forcibly taken to Moscow and disappeared.

The Swedish diplomat died, but tens of thousands of Hungarian lives were saved. We would do it again.

We also remember when the Soviet Union brutally crushed your Hungarian struggle for democracy and freedom in 1956, and when Prime Minister Imre Nagy was later executed for his efforts to democratize the country.

When Russian tanks crushed the Hungarian freedom struggle, the Hungarian people pleaded with the UN and all Western powers for help. Almost no one listened.
But one country that showed deep solidarity with you was Sweden.

We opened our arms to your freedom fighters and dissidents. We allowed you to build exile opposition against Soviet communism here, despite our non-alignment. It was not without risk for us. But we did it anyway—because it was the right thing to do.

Today, over 40,000 people of Hungarian descent live in Sweden, many of whom are descendants of the Hungarian refugees who came here in connection with the 1956 uprising. They are a well-integrated immigrant group in our Swedish society.

Democratic states help each other, then and now. And they stand up against countries that try to oppress others.

That is why, just as in 1944 and 1956, we support democratic countries that Russian tanks try to overrun. Back then, it was about Hungary; today, it is about Ukraine. And if we do not act, it could be about another country tomorrow.

This is also why we often express concern about the developments in Hungary in recent years. Hungary ultimately regained its freedom, but freedom must also be defended.

That is why we question when you go to have coffee with the leader of the same country that crushed your compatriots’ freedom struggle in 1956 and that today attacks your neighbour, Ukraine.

Hungary and the West are not strengthened by closing the door to their European friends or by attacking each other and the very things that distinguish us from barbarism — democracy and the rule of law.

Let me conclude with some wise words from yourself in 2007:

“As kind of a new generation of the West, our message to those younger than we is to stick to a Western type Hungary, not to let Hungary be derailed from its Western path, and to love that Hungary is a Western type country, which means that we believe in the free will of people and in the mutual responsibility towards each other that we take upon us, which are inseparable parts of Western culture.

The oil might come from the east, but freedom always comes from the west. And democracy cannot be directed from above, it can only grow from the hearts of people and in this way create a viable, Hungarian life.”

Finally, I wish to convey Sweden’s respect for the Hungarian people, and to wish your country a free, peaceful, and successful election.

July 4th

What was once the blinding flame of American independence is slowly fading into a dim candle in the display window of world history – somewhere between jeans, Teslas, iPhones, and the distant memory of a time when freedom wasn’t sold in supermarkets but defended with weapons and genuine fear of losing it.

Every strike on Ukrainian cities echoes like a deadly salute to the slow extinction of that very independence – the kind our partners have long known how to celebrate, but long forgotten how to defend.

Happy Independence Day, America.
Don’t fuck it up.

4/4 Russia cannot be defeated like Nazi Germany, but Putin’s invasion can — and must — be defeated in Ukraine, without triggering nuclear war. Ukraine is there to do this work and seize the hinge moment for the wold.

3/3 Fear of offending an aggressor feeds his impudence. Impunity fuels escalation. President Trump just demonstrated the opposite in the Middle East — diplomacy through strength works.

[Andrei V Kozyrev @andreivkozyrev]

2/3 Russia is suffering economically — sanctions contribute to that — but its drive to aggression will only be weakened if the invasion is defeated.

[Andrei V Kozyrev @andreivkozyrev]

Every day that Putin’s Russia continues its terror campaign in Ukraine proves that nuclear intimidation is an all-powerful tool of war — discrediting the deterrence resolve of the U.S. and its allies. No wonder China and North Korea are accelerating their nuclear buildup.

@RolandTichy So ein Blödsinn.

Lesenswert!

[Hans-Jürgen Heimsoeth @HeimsoethBerlin]

Leider gehen auch viele Kommentoren (zB die #Zeit) an der wichtigen Tatsache vorbei, dass anderen verurteilte Politik (zB Francois Fillon) von der Teilnahme an kommenden Wahlen ausgeschlossen. Soll für #LePen ein anderer Maßstab gelten?

[Michel Duclos @MrjDuclos]

[Hans-Jürgen Heimsoeth @HeimsoethBerlin]

Nobody got exited when former French PM Fillon received a similar sentence. Am I missing something or do you simply habe to be a right-wing politician to get a better verdict?

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

This feels wrong to me. FT: Marine Le Pen has been sentenced to a 4 year jail term (2 years suspended, 2 years with an electronic bracelet) and banned from standing for office for 5 years with immediate effect. 1/

[Hans-Jürgen Heimsoeth @HeimsoethBerlin]

Why should Le Pen be treeted differently than former Prime Minister for similar (maybe even less serious) charges. Be serious. Stop your extreme-right propaganda.

[BRICS News @BRICSinfo]

🇷🇴🇫🇷 In the past month, Romania and France banned opposition leaders from presidential elections.

Romania's front-runner Călin Georgescu and France's Marine Le Pen were both barred.

What is going on in Europe?

[Hans-Jürgen Heimsoeth @HeimsoethBerlin]

Comparaison avec le cas Fillon?

[Michel Duclos @MrjDuclos]

Mais, encore une fois, quelle serait l’alternative ? Que les politiques décident entre eux qui est coupable ou non?

[Hans-Jürgen Heimsoeth @HeimsoethBerlin]

Es empfiehlt sich, das Urteil der frz Justiz gegen den ehemaligen MP #Fillon anzuschauen. Es war ähnlich, wie das gegen #LePen nur noch strenger (und man kann noch streiten, ob das Vergehen gleichwertig war).

Die Nebelkerze von Julian Nida-Rümelin über den Vergleich der russischen Verteidigungsausgaben mit denen der Europäer gestern bei #hartaberfair hat mich als Oekonom, aber vor allem als Wissenschaftler wirklich geärgert. Vor allem in Kombination mit "Kaufkraftparitäten"-Raunen.
