The Navalny case

Conspiracy to serve foreign policy

Was Navalny deliberately poisoned ? Does the evidence we have justify sanctions against Russia ? Was the recording with the KGB agent a set-up ? Is Navalny really the « main opponent of Vladimir Putin » ? Does his film about « Putin's Palace » reflect reality ?

This book is the first investigation of the Navalny case. It is based on official American, British, Russian, French and German documents. Written by an ex-agent of the Swiss secret service who fought for ten years against the Soviet Union, this account highlights a new way of practicing foreign policy : passionate, disordered, without hindsight or constructive purpose. The immediate application of sanctions while the facts remain unclear removes all space for diplomacy.

The Western unison around this affair and the censorship against dissenting voices reveal a disturbing evolution of society and its growing vulnerability to manipulation. We create realities out of our prejudices : this is the definition of conspiracy, which has become the main weapon of Western countries. We do what we reproach the autocrats for.
