contacted the owners of my house, interviewed them, and they literally told them, don't let her on the threshold. and the most curious thing is that no one has contacted me personally. even then my name was on the blacklist. and this was even before this resolution of the european parliament from the end of may when sanctions were adopted against me. but i'm obviously on some lists that i don't know anything about. and as for me, this contradicts all legal norms and the rule of law, because even if we compare in previous centuries, for example, in the 17th century, during the which hunt indictments were at least declared to them, there was a hearing, there was a jury to whom they had to answer, and there were protocols, it was all written down somewhere. but what happens to me is not fixed at all. this is a media campaign, and i learn about a lot of things only indirectly, but i never come across it directly. so what am i guilty of?

the russian pig should be hanged, animal killer. the k g, b mall, threats of physical violence and insults, slanderous articles are increasingly appearing in professional media. karen, nice. those daily life looks more and more like a nightmare. i contacted 2 lawyers in austria with whom i have successfully completed 26 trials in the past. at that time, in the spring of 2020, i was accused of killing animals poisoning them. the media accused me in particular of poisoning animals, was near the chalk, but that was just the beginning. the media campaign was rather huge and there are many reasons for this. we can discuss them later. and in the last few months, new attacks began. one of the reasons for them was that i live in a luxurious life here in the south of france in a villa on the car does your, and bade and money. that's how it's all presented. and when the war started in

ukraine, nestle is making money, their hand over glove, and does not want to help refugees and so on. that's how it all started. i don't live in luxury here because no matter how much i teach to universities and moscow, no matter how much compensation i received from ra snap for my activities on the board of directors. because of sanctions, all these amounts are still blocked in moscow. i do not have access to this money which was still possible before the sanctions were imposed. they literally tried to drown me. that's why i applied to, to law firms. after all, it didn't. and there i was called the kremlin backup singer. yesterday the newspapers were full of headlines that i had worked for the k g b for 30 years and was a spy in the austrian government. because there were russians here in france who worked for the k g b. and it so happened that we studied at the same academy in paris in 1992. i had the opportunity to get

a scholarship there at the invitation of the french government. and i studied at the national school of administration for a year, worked in the prefecture for 6 months, but i have never had any personal contacts with your gauge or not. my school, my social circle, it was different, immeasurable slander, according to kenesaw in france, without housing, without a lawyer, and not the best conditions for retaliatory actions. but can, i still did not want to ignore the smear campaign in the media. and the absurd accusations against her. she also didn't want to leave and answered the threats the unknown people sent her every day. i have been repeatedly threatened with violence in austria as well as here. threats have been received from austria and germany up to the prefecture. the email se, but in austria, letters also came to my mailbox, but no one wanted to take it seriously. the content was something like this. russian pig, you should be hanged putin's prostitute. you need to have your throat slit and buried a, i like that. and we will make sure that you are burried that way,

and these are just the wildest things i've received. the can i so has to defend herself against politicians in both austria and france. she considers them corrupt the way the austrian elite treated, her reminded can i soul of the order of the 1900 thirty's, can i so tone became hard. she no longer wonders why adolf hitler relied on the austrians to choose the leadership of the ss constant attacks made her suspicious even during our filming. she could not get rid of the thought that she was being watched. and the conversation listened to 3 weeks ago on sunday, i contacted the former federal president of austria hines, fisher. i don't have very close contact with him. but i said that in connection with the threats of sanctions against garrard schroeder, from the european parliament, chancellor sholtes immediately took a position and said that there is no question of him being included in the sanctions. less and austria newspapers were full of headlines,

all of kareem sniffles assets will be confiscated. this is my property before this is the house. i earned a 120000 euros for and built it for another 12 years and all this long before in their opinion. i began working for someone from the russian side. here's how austria there was not a single person in austria, who would say, it's not legally possible. i would be the 1st you citizen whose house would be conquest. i asked the former president, himes fisher, if he was ready to support me in any way so that at least someone would do something he refused. therefore i have no way to somehow defend myself against these accusations by the media. and no one in austria has the opportunity to publicly speak in my defense and say enough is enough. i'll have to. she left the country. she does not oppose. austria, i didn't start an opposition party who controls the harassment so nice. so to me

has nice will become a target embedded editor's old enemies. so does everything come from the very top? it's many reasons why i'm the focus of this kind of attention. i would say that all this dirt that originally appeared revolved around bullying animals. if i were a man, i would have been accused of sexual harassment, pet ophelia, or something else a long time ago. in my case, it was cruelty to animals, which for public outrage, stamps right after pet ophelia. and this is largely due to the fact that one of my 1st official actions in december 2017 was the advertising budget, which is a very corrupt business in austria. taxpayer money is wasted, millions are thrown around, they're giving them to the editors for good reports. and we're not talking about some kind of invitation to a hotel. we're not talking about travel. we're talking about millions of euro's corruption has also become very widespread in austria over the past 20 years. and i put an end to this corruption story. and from the 1st day it made me so to speak,

a red rag for many editors. i reported this to the parliamentary commission investigating the case in may 2021. when i was so to speak, a little robin hood for a short time alone against the mafia. when they threatened to burn down my house, it reminds me of the 19 thirty's, chicago, where a small grocer says, i'm not going to pay $100.00 for a roof this week. and that was one of the reasons, but not the only one. i can't say right now if there are any other customers there, i would interpret it this way and it's quite curious. i've been thinking about it a lot during sleepless nights. at the age of 54, now i'm 57 and a half. that is, it all started when i was 5455 years old. and i realized that it was no coincidence that under 8 or hitler, the most of the leadership of the ss and the gestapo were from austria. they were

not from sicily, ireland, or die. gaston, i've been thinking about it a lot. they were austrians, residents of central europe, full of a mixture of explosive falsehood and cowardice. the mention of none of the many residents of the middle east europe seems like a distant paradise. they go to terrible hardships run to where they expect to find safety and freedom, but nicer has lost faith in europe. she thinks the middle east is safer than i of now i'm going to lebanon because among other things, and who would have thought there is more freedom and lebanon? i heard you say you feel more free here to what extent? yeah, yeah. yes, i've been teaching for a long time, and i would like to teach again though i taught in austria and taught for several years at the american university in austria. take, for example, the problem of climate change, the problem of war and ukraine, or the problem of the pandemic. these are all topics where there is only one black

and white and from the point of view of science, this is a failure. and if we compare it with the debates that i can conduct universities in lebanon, egypt, israel, than i have much more freedom of speech than in austria, not to mention germany, i often had german students who told me, wow, you can still discuss things very openly and critically on various issues, regardless of whether it's about israel, the war in syria or anything else, is that the ceiling leak or the vessel fema? let's play out the scenario. what if karen, ny saw had stayed in france? what would have been the consequences? what would her opponents have been capable of? would her safety really have been at risk? my safety obviously, there are a lot of people who are interested that i well, let's say disappear or you are from the sky. the public is an inconsistent judge. a good lawyer is neither here. if you're not careful, you can quickly become

a victim of a violent crowd. no one day in the middle east offense was erected around the scaffold. tomatoes used to fly from the crowd to day malicious tweets and e mails. there is no mercy for the full moon foreign minister. eva. how did nicely cope with the pressure. we would have to nice limited book filters. in the morning i have to deal with physical shit in the stable in the afternoon. i have to deal with immaterial shit. and this physical shape. you can smell it. and the material shit suddenly flies right in your face. that's why the shit from the stable comes me down a bit, but wasn't nice. it's on the way a nozzles, lawyers, former colleagues, political associates, journalists, and customers. hold of them have already turned away from her. even relatives and friends have joined the campaign against karen nicely. company. as for friends, a friend is always the one you can call it 3 a and say that you have a flat tire. and i had several such friends that the 1st 2 unfortunately die. they were my age and in general i don't have many friends. last and last year i got into

stupid trouble. i broke my ankle in several places. i was completely immobilized for 3 months. i couldn't do anything. i couldn't even take care of animals. thank god, i could afford to hire a person to take care of them. but for the remaining 23 hours, i took care of myself and i was still thinking about the time that i had friends. and i was wondering if i should ask them if they could come. or i also thought that i might still be remembered from the time when i was a minister for several months. and i was hoping that they might come or buster western observe is a show that nicely dance was a dance with the devil himself. if you look objectively, karen nicely invited one of the most influential people in the world, a wedding date, full of events and consequences. immediate coverage has become a continuous conflagration. without regard to morality and ethics. will she invite the russian president to dance again? that is, you know, i imagine the whole system because it didn't sometimes know for them. yes,

of course i will not like german president stein mer, repent all of my mistakes, questioning everything, but he has done over the years of his career. i am responsible for my every action and what is the crime that i sent an invitation to president putin? i didn't expect him to actually come. it was a surprise that he accepted the invitation and in general, it was all spontaneous. as i've already said, i danced with him, let's say, share the joy that my fiance and i had we were both over 50. the 1st wedding for both of us. in general, there was the invitation, but it just so happened. it was a pure coincidence, but it's so happened and me and my husband and i danced after the wedding for about 45 minutes. and during the break, i went up to the president. he was there and invited him to dance. it was spontaneous, it was just such an atmosphere there. and now scientific research is already writing about this crime against democracy that i committed and that i danced with

him. and there was just such a figure in the down since the president bowed. this is covered on the video, kissed my hand and i curtsied, and i learned this a dance school and how it is done that a festive ball. and now it's all being quoted. it's been defamed and dumped in the mud. and these are all the gestures that make up life. and in my book, diplomacy makes history. i try to point out these completely different aspects that should also accompany interpersonal and interstate relation. we can't always think only about missile bases gdp sanctions and so on. diplomacy is more than political issues. i have the dilemma we are facing in the current situation. and i know this from european commission is the only political scientists are sitting there. there are no historians, there are no geographers. there are no people really engaged in diplomacy and everything related to it that there are no forbidden topics financial. however,

there are fewer into locus that are ready to listen to her is time to start all over again. and so karen nicely moved to lebanon. this journey with all the animals was by no means easy. it was not so easy to organize such a mood. after all, it was not limited to personal belongings, books and furniture. i took my 2 box, her dogs, and to shetland ponies with me the rest of the animals chickens, docs and an aquarium with fish had to be left and even so it was very difficult to organize everything. i contacted several agencies until i found a suitable one. on the 2nd of june, i managed to move all of the furniture. the rest of the things were already packed and i stayed with all the animals in an absolutely empty house. i slept on a mattress for about 2 weeks. i also had big problems with food because in the area where i lived, it was difficult to get any thing without a car. and i had already given the car to my friend in austria by that time,

in short, it was a difficult time. everything was postponed endlessly the last few weeks before the immediate move were especially difficult. however, in the end, everything worked out and i came here with my dogs, and i must say almost from the 1st stay here. i started doing all the necessary things for a normal life, obtaining a residence permit, opening a bank account, tin and so on. here i was waiting for a daily struggle with the local bureaucracy, which reminds me a little of the old ottoman officials of the 19th century on the internet and in the media. hatred does not weaken even off the cara. nicer was actually squeezed out of the country however, she copes by switching her attention to what surround sir. she lives with assyrian family in their house in the lebanese mountain, hit the ponies. the b foam austrian foreign minister, are incredibly popular with local. i said that i urgently needed a house where i could be with animals, and this is not so easy to find and been on. and even in a short time. however,

the owner kindly agreed to provide it and allowed him to stay with 2 ponies. they were very friendly towards my horse who died 2 years ago, and i just could not leave them alone. at 1st i found a place for them in austria, but then i found out that it was not very good there either. and then i brought them to france and then somehow managed to get them here. here they are incredibly popular. when we go for a walk, all people want to do is take pictures, children run up and wave to us drews and habits this area. this is a separate ethnic group. there are neither christians nor muslims their faith based on the late hellenistic beliefs. drew's mainly live in the lebanese mountains in syria as well as in the north of israel and the former palestine on the golden heights. it's all very close a few kilometers away. the drews, still believe in reincarnation. they have a completely different attitude to animals and to nature,

different from monotheistic religions, where the belief prevails. that man is set to rule over nature, especially in christianity where this thought has rained for centuries, even if there is almost no fuel here. electricity provided for a couple of hours a day. if there is any at all. however, in purely interpersonal terms, i have a feeling that the current crisis, these sufferings unite representatives of different faiths. there are no more violent clashes between sunnis and shiites. as it was in the 90s, there is no longer that christian arrogance, especially on the part of the marrow nights. there are enough people who have said, what are you doing with the drews? you have to live with the christians. i found a house by accident and i do not share people. i'm very glad and grateful that i could live here in this house. however, i must say, in some minds, all these boundaries are still very strong together with the owners of the house.

karen nicely lives in very simple conditions. they cook here on an open fire. there is very little energy here. electricity is available only for a few hours a day, so you have to eat only what can be stored without a refrigerator. mutual support is the basis of living together and this is where it manifests itself best. for example, karen nicely gives home lessons to the son that he syrian family who lives with them. abdulla is 10 years old, but he did not really go to school because his father sent him to an auto repair shop. the boy goes there every day at 7 30 in the morning and returns home at 5 or 6 in the evening. i asked his father not to send him to the workshop any more bother to bring him to me for school lessons. now he and i are studying mathematics studying english. abdulla will return to the auto repair shop when he is 16 years old, until then he can fully enjoy his childhood. hardly any one suspected that just a few years ago, his current teacher was the chief diplomat of an entire country,

reagan, he shaking hands with the most influential people in the world. only a few photos on the wall speak about it. and the fact that she took photos with russian politicians with her, his fall from an accident to come to live on on. mchugh, blocked out. i have several photos from my time as the head of the foreign ministry, from meetings with the pope and european politicians. but i deliberately took these photos with me back to france, frankly, as negotiations with foreign minister, sergei oliver of negotiations with vladimir putin. i met with him 34 times during negotiations. all these are interesting memories for me, because i got the impression that when talking to european politicians, you actually communicate with some teenagers, always somewhat agitated, filled with youthful superiority. if you want to deal with serious people, then you need to go to moscow. beijing, islam abad. or new delhi karen nicely sympathies for russia not limited to the

political sphere. it's all learning russian for an online courses become a wonderful way for nicely to escape from everyday problems in particularly difficult times, whether here or in france, learning other languages, their grammar structures and so on has always been a life saver for me. it is as if you are dealing with another world, another reality. and all the attacks and hatred become invisible. that is why i often say that russian grammar really gave me the meaning of life, nevertheless, strong friendships, even more important. it was because of them that karen nie, so chose lebanon for her immigration. with the help of long term companion. she was able to find housing, where she was able to settle with animals and overcome numerous every day difficulties. when meeting natalie at a restaurant in by bla, car nicer has been friends with her since childhood classes, from campus talking before our mothers worked for austrian airlines when it was

a significant airline. and they route was one of the important airports and her mother. and i hate and my mother knew each other a little from work. my mom always told me about her parents and i been our son and bay route. for me. these are childhood memories. we played with each other when we lived in lebanon, and a real friendship formed between us. when we were 1819 years old, there was heavy fighting in lebanon. they were constantly between bay route and austria. and since 1989 natalie has returned to lebanon on since then, i visited her every year that was 24 years ago. and, and total, we've known each other for 53 years since the age of 4. and i'm still puzzling because to be friends with such a person as karen nice or and to support her when the mood becomes negative is not easy for many, perhaps because of this nice last some friends. but for natalie, all this never method either ne fun,

but i have known her since childhood and everything that is said or told about her is all bad propaganda. i am against these people who write only to write. i know her personally for me, karen is karen. she has never been different. thanks. and this is what happens when you don't need to explain yourself when you don't need to put on a show to the diesels of, for the sake of unconditional friendship and a place of solitude. karen nozzle is ready to do without many things and lead a simple life in a country with a most people every day. life is determined by pure struggle for existence. however, the country has known best at times. karen nozzle shows us a clear example of this in the sense of beirut did even take long for darkness. here in beirut, i saw a complete destruction. more than 30 years ago when there was a war only during the war, people said, always a pray log where after the war it, they made plans for the post war period. then the country began to recover in terms

of real estate. a lot in institutional and social terms very little. so the war has not ended at the human level. unfortunately, however, real state recovered very quickly. now we're standing here in the most beautiful area of beirut. these were ordinary, luxurious shopping malls, embassies, bank branches, insurance companies. there's also a d h l great. every one needs it really. i moved with them. however, in economic terms, nothing is happening. namely the service sector has define the life of the city. since the forties and fifties, beirut has always been a city of services, banks, insurance companies. it worked here. people spoke 3 languages. this is a service society, and people here are friendly, responsive, and able to help representatives of other cultures. imagine you had an apartment

here and then you've survived the war and now it's over. there's really a complete decline here. only sick cats and completely destroyed buildings remain the economic crisis of 2019 lead to the fact that the exchange rate of the lebanese pound on the black market deviated from the official right peg to the us dollar money suddenly depreciated prices skyrocketed. the explosion of the port in 2020, and the colossal destruction that followed further weakened the country's economy, the boots up with london, my dog of the explosion in the summer of 2020, aggravated the situation after the banking sector had already collapsed before in the fall. of 2019, than the pandemic came, and during the pandemic, we were all willy nilly locked up somewhere. and as soon as the restrictions were lifted here, people left 410020000 people

a month to buy. therefore, the lebanese always have relative somewhere, whether in brazil, france or austria, many of them left because they said this country has no future. and there's no future for our children. so 501-002-0000 people a month continue to leave. when i come to a lawyer because i need documents to get a 10 and so on. the 1st question is, are you crazy? what are you doing here anyway? because who is coming to lebanon to day? i really found myself in a strange, surreal situation. what i say for me, i lebanon, is against all odds, an opportunity to have the right to live. i do not need more than them, the bones and current. nicer. and karen nicely considered the living conditions in lebanon, a gloomy omen for europe. the scenario of the future, which many would have loft as a year ago now no longer seems so unreal. i

believe that what you see here will happen in europe. the main similarity is corruption when the system ceases to inspire confidence among taxpayers, because the population taxpayers simply ceased to believe in the state and institutions. and this is exactly what is happening now in many societies when people can no longer afford daily life, as inflation is rising because salaries are no longer enough. rents for many years are too high for the average family. this is a combination of many things, and if you add to this, the fact that the cost of energy becomes unaffordable than much collapses. as an export on the middle east, nice will understand the differences between western and arab societies. in her opinion, countries such as lebanon, co, besset, with crises, then, for example, germany of i admire the lebanese, the strength of many of my friends who are there,

bringing their children to school, paying the bills. i know how many of them cope and with what confidence they enter life. but i think this is an eastern society while there are no lebanese here. also israelis, palestinians, iraqis. they are just much better prepared to go through such hard times because they are able to suffer because they have family cohesion. and they are not just going through such hard times. now. they have been going through hard times for 40 years. now they say that many things are much more difficult than during the war, and they also have cohesion on their. they still have a certain lightness of being which is felt despite the difficulties. and this is what defines the society, and this is what our societies lack. i can live when electricity is provided for 2 hours a day. i have batteries to work, the internet. i charge my laptops, but somehow it works. however, lebanon, a society where the main thing is,

the service sector, is radically different from economic centers, such as germany or austria, outland, hon botto, before it gets better, it has to get a lot worse and germany and europe. however, whether there is a way out of the crisis is unknown. if it succeeds, perhaps there will be a place again for the form of foreign minister expelled from the home country for advocating pragmatic relations with russia and remaining steadfast, even in difficult times. karen nice old does not allow moralists to defeat, even though they eventually resorted to. the most immoral means she does not allow herself to be remade. she hit the road ah. bullying into a so booty toya no cranium, t doin soon enough idea. she ship a duck,

lean that ship border control in particular bought. so she'll go diddy to deviate them, awarded by latest. i rarely be near them. that did not signify. brett's anthony. lucy, leanne worley, and get the bill. uh huh. insurance. actually, jim's out arkell room. dish, but i'll let you drop both. ayana grace, you've got to larry's door. modern date. my subway. but just dory. yes or no it's i live here, belize get us. but i we ship them said yes, they're good to go. i even if daughter to look like you know what of them, i need a new parents with us with that for me is a similar one. they reached over that or, and if actually we did not to my usual go to work, it doesn't feel good to break global. i'm saying years about how she had the college. busy i'm pleased about the enough room for a few quick to take a picture. i'll go double parade. you have to go so good. i'm up

with lou craner, a big and rich country that's always been hand in hand with russia until recently. 2014. a qu defines ukraine and leads to fratricidal war and on a war that continues to this new.
