Advance: Who told, what Vladimir Putin wants to dismantle EU?

A little more than a year ago American reporter and columnist Kirchik James, author of the book "End Europe: dictators, demagogues and the future dark century", did big work and in an extensive material in the edition Information portal "Politiko" proved, why and as President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin wants to spread out EU, and also all "Western world".

its article — is the long list of points in which the author tried to prove the theory that, certainly, stands behind each political force which does not support very specific line of liberal democracy as the all-powerful puppeteer, President of the Russian Federation. Kirchik James claims that the Kremlin is ready to cooperate with any political fraction which is entered in its large-scale project of "the revisionist purposes".

What ultimate goals of the Russian policy? To break the West, having begun with disorder EU. What for? to broaden the sphere of the Russian influence on the countries where Russian, is more exact Soviet, influence was very strong or comprehensive. In respect of ideology it is a question of a crusade against liberal democracy which, according to the American reporter probably the democracy not liberal has to replace.

Already at this stage some things start contradicting

When, for example, the German chancellor Angela Merkel who at all is not the opponent of liberal democracy, wants to give insignificant support to business projects with Russian Federation, for example, to the Nord Stream — 2 project, for it very quickly find time in Moscow, Sochi and in general anywhere. Vladimir Putin immediately goes to Berlin to have a talk with the chancellor holding the post many years, on concrete subjects instead of going to headquarters "Alternative for Germany" Party or still somewhere.

By the way, as for "Alternative for Germany" Party, the German right-wing party which enjoys the increasing popularity, allegedly, behind it too "are stood by Russia". Similar statements do not surprise. Not because they are exact (it not so) but because in modern Europe existence of movement, party or other political association operating in a section with established rules, without that it did not declare the Russian project is absolutely impossible.

"Alternative for Germany" Party not exception. In May of the current year the German state news agency "Deutsche Welle" reported that in 2017 members "Alternative for Germany" Party visited to Russian Federation on "the Russian money" and visited a mysterious charitable dinner. By private plane to Russian Federation delivered the former leader "Alternative for Germany" Party Frauke Petry, her spouse Markus Prettsell, one more representative "Alternative for Germany" Party, and Flak Julian.

Rottgen Norbert from Christian Democrat union Germany demanded explanations, resting on that travel managed approximately in 25 thousand euros. Prettsell answered that the trip was informal. Who exactly paid for it, is not disclosed, but the German mass media claim that this history convincingly proves: behind movement "Alternative for Germany" Party is stood by Russian Federation.

Who and for what purpose invited these three to Russian Federation it is not known, but it can be anyone supporting their views. Even if for a trip it is really spent 25 thousand euros (that is not confirmed), hardly these money can change a situation to Germany. Anyway it is a question of scanty "incentives" if to compare them, for example, to those millions and million dollars which the American organizations and the analytical centers, apparently, spend in a year for trips of the adherents participating in gala evenings and actions of political character.

Despite it, the representative of the German Green Party Omid Nuripur so reacted to the marked exposure: "Communication between Russian Federation and "Alternative for Germany" Party which we suspected all this time is for the first time publicly opened. It fatally and shokiruyushche. "Alternative for Germany" Party — the tool Vladimir Putin in the German parliament". whether

there are to Russian Federation supporters "Alternative for Germany" Party? Undoubtedly, however, probably, it is even more of them to France, Italy or Sweden. It is extremely absurd to claim that Russian Federation was succeeded "to create" "Alternative for Germany" Party, despite that fact that Germany more than other countries of the world "is stuffed" by the American spies, as well as to say that they it is simple "did not notice" a trip of these three to Russian Federation.

If would be proofs of the Russian participation, they would pour already from all directions. Why? Because it would be inevitable. If all this (that Russian Federation really coordinates all western opposition) was the truth, we would deal with unprecedented before operation, and it would not be succeeded to conceal it simply. The logic prompts that communication with "Alternative for Germany" Party is very mediocre. But what business to logic and common sense to any Nuripur who is sure, what behind everything is covered not who other, how Vladimir Putin?

Other name which is often mentioned in a tandem context with Vladimir Putin — this name of the Hungarian prime minister Victor Orban. Victor Orban, allegedly, is (one more) right hand Vladimir Putin who achieves disorder Europe and wants to force the Western world to the knees. Really the Russian leader managed to bring the person to power in Budapest? Actually not. If to go deep into chronology, it is possible (even if a little theatrically) to tell that then Obran brought to power Vladimir Putin, after all Vladimir Putin led the country only in 2000, and Victor Orban held a post of the Hungarian prime minister in 1998 (till 2002, and then again with 2010 to the present).

Victor Orban definitely "is not on friendly terms" with liberal democracy and never with it sympathized. Many quote his speech delivered in 2014 when it, in particular, told: "Influence of the American soft force decreases, and liberal values represent today corruption, sex and violence".

Not Vladimir Putin enclosed to it in lips these words. Simply such is opinion of typical conservatives whom there is a lot of not only to Hungary or Europe, but also in general in the world. In the same speech Victor Orban almost predicted the future, having declared that global changes which mentioned and United States of America soon will start happening. In only two years the victory at presidential election there was won by Donald Trump (one more figure with similar views). As soon as it appeared, right there started talking: "Really behind it there is Vladimir Putin? "

Subsequently this history turned into the long American soap opera which series already nobody considers. However how many enemies Donald Trump claimed that Russian Federation helped it to win elections (concrete proofs still "in a way"), they still are not able to recognize that in America there are enough people who think as Donald Trump, Victor Orban … and Vladimir Putin.

the Reality can be inconvenient, in particular when it directly contradicts someone's deeply personal views on the world and on policy. And when understanding of this contradiction turns into paranoid denial of reality, there is a problem, and big.

As for in general European-Russian relations, recently great attention was drawn by the French president Emmanuel Macron who several times declared that EU cannot depend on the American support in the sphere of safety any more and that EU has to be engaged in strengthening of "the strategic relations" with such countries, as Russian Federation and Turkey. So, Emmanuel Macron wants strengthening of the European independence, but, seemingly, to this thought he was pushed by exclusively that fact that in power to United States of America there is unpredictable and not too diplomatic Donald Trump. And what if in power it was Hillary Clinton? Emmanuel Macron would adhere to similar opinion? It is unlikely.

in this new position of the French president. Yesterday Emmanuel Macron visited Sweden and gave there big interview on radio, having touched upon a subject of the upcoming Swedish parliamentary elections (on September 9), and also the relations with Russian Federation. "I respect Vladimir Putin and I am one of those who considers that we have to create new approaches to safety with Russian Federation, discussions with Russian Federation are necessary for us. But dream Vladimir Putin — to dismantle EU" — declared Emmanuel Macron.

U Emmanuel Macron interesting position: he offers something very important (formation of new system of safety and defenses in Europe) and wants to reach it together with Russian Federation which, in his opinion, dreams to destroy this united Europe? Whether its intention is dangerous? Anyway this unique and interesting opinion, however, probably, a little senseless. Or Emmanuel Macron, realizing that what creation something — especially new "system" — together with Russian Federation it is not popular, mentioned dreams Vladimir Putin that image accepted in policy to protect itself from a criticism shaft?

O than Vladimir Putin, difficultly to tell though Emmanuel Macron claims dreams that knows his dreams. We, all the others, can be guided by that Vladimir Putin speaks openly. Russian Federation and Europe it made the last applications for a subject of relationship during recent visit to Austria. In interview to the Austrian ORF <7> TV channel Vladimir Putin noted: "We have no purposes something and to divide someone in EU. We, on the contrary, are interested in that EU was uniform and prospering because EU — our largest trade and economic partner. Why to us to shake EU to incur any additional losses, costs or to receive less possible benefit from cooperation with EU? On the contrary, it is necessary to increase interaction with EU. We try to cooperate with those who publicly declares readiness and desire to cooperate with us. Only in it look for the reason kakikhto contacts at political and party level of our political parties, the formations, any movements and European".

Here that publicly are told by Vladimir Putin and probably his secret "dreams" not really disperse from words. President of the Russian Federation consciously emphasizes, saying about strengthening of cooperation with Europe that wants that Europe found the most independent of United States of America a position. Right now it in a sense occurs.

Then why to Vladimir Putin to achieve dismantle EU? Unless it is not counterproductive for Russian Federation which reduced in recent years considerable part of the foreign policy to expectation of more favorable political climate for itself? And that Russian Federation prefers those who as Vladimir Putin speaks, are ready to cooperation with it, is absolutely reasonable and justified. What, someone prevents advocates of liberal democracy to soften a little rhetoric and to switch over to cooperation with Russian Federation for the benefit of both parties? The similar idea already visits many that confirms and Emmanuel Macron, and Angela Merkel, and for Europe it is good.

That as a result will be with Europe, a question open. The political scene obviously changes, becoming where it is better where is worse, and escalation of intensity which now, for example, reigns in German Chemnitz, undoubtedly, can affect the whole continent. However whatever it happened, it happens first of all after wine Europe and Europeans, instead of because of dreams Vladimir Putin, whatever they were.
