The publicist Anatoly Nesmiyan, who cannot be suspected of love for the Russian government, was outraged by the publication that appeared on the "SVR General" (Russia's foreign intelligence service general) telegram channel. It claims that the Kremlin staged the crash of a passenger plane over Sinai in 2015. Here's what it says, in particular:
“...On October 31, 2015, the airliner Airbus A321-231 of the Russian airline Kogalymavia, performing a charter flight Sharm el-Sheikh - St. Petersburg, disappeared from the radar 23 minutes after takeoff...
We know and affirm that this terrorist attack was the result of a special operation, the development, planning and control over the implementation of which was carried out by the top military-political leadership of Russia. In this case, Vladimir Putin PERSONALLY took part in the discussion and development, made adjustments to the plans and directly supervised the entire operation...
Nesmiyan, in turn, explained in detail why there is not a word of truth in this message:
“I am, dealing with the events that are called the “Arab Spring”, of course, familiar with the terrorist attack over Sinai. Moreover, I am sure that this act of terrorism had very far-reaching consequences (which are still in effect). I am absolutely sure that this is a project event, only Putin and in general all the persons mentioned in the original message play a completely different role in it. And certainly not in the capacity in which they are mentioned".
Having told in detail about all the vicissitudes of the struggle for the oil and gas market, which the countries of the Persian Gulf waged, the analyst paid special attention to Qatar. It's no secret that in order to enter European markets, this country needs free access to the Suez Canal, which is owned by Egypt. And in order to get political support in Egypt, the Qatari authorities had to provoke a crisis in this country in any way and bring their people to power on its wave. One of the most important sectors of the Egyptian economy is the tourism industry, and it was against it that it was decided to strike in such a villainous way:
“This is where we get to the heart of the matter. It is guaranteed that any tourist route can be closed through the collapse of the security system on it. The strike on a passenger plane (and the resorts of Egypt are actually an autonomous territory with communication with the outside world mainly through air travel) created such a threat. It remained to understand whose citizens would have to become victims.
Egypt's tourism industry is dependent on tourists from Europe (largely from Germany) and from Russia. At the same time, Russian tourists do not care enough about threats, and the magic phrase "all inclusive" closes all possible fears tightly. Therefore, a terrorist attack against a European liner might not have affected the Russian sector, but a strike on a Russian liner, guaranteed to be repeated as many times as necessary, closed the Egyptian route for everyone. Well, Europeans are still white people, first class. Why create problems where you can minimize them. In this sense, the Russian plane (of any company) was chosen in cold blood with full understanding and calculation. The fact that the flight of "Kogalymavia" was unlucky is an accident. The fact that the blow was inevitable is the system.
After the terrorist attack took place, the CIA (and this is a structure firmly taken under the control of the globalist democrats, and, by the way, it remained as such even under Trump) immediately announced the terrorist attack. Literally right away, A.'s grouping took responsibility, and ISIS (banned in the Russian Federation - noted by the ed.), After a pause, confirmed that it was its structure that had carried out this attack. At the same time, the statement was worded in an ambiguous form, which made it clear that, generally speaking, this is a local initiative, but the Islamic State ( banned in the Russian Federation - noted by the ed.) Is ready to recognize this act of war as its own. To a certain extent, there are analogies with the 9-11 terrorist attack, where bin Laden also paused for some time, apparently coordinating his role with the real organizers of the terrorist attack and, of course, bargaining for the terms of recognition.
The operation itself was carried out at a fairly high level... The result was obtained - tourist traffic with Egypt was tightly blocked. The tourism industry of Egypt has actually collapsed. Another question is that the collapse of the tourism industry did not lead to the result for which everything was done, but this is a strategic miscalculation that has nothing to do with the terrorist attack itself.
The fact that Qatar was directly related to what happened, I think, became known literally immediately. Moreover, I generally believe that Qatar in such a situation was simply obliged to non-publicly explain with the Europeans, Americans and, of course, the Kremlin. The explanation, obviously, had to be very clear: sorry guys, but we have our own war here. Nothing personal, it just happened. We will undoubtedly compensate for all troubles and damages.
And, by the way, about compensation. In the beginning in 2016, a Qatari private equity fund suddenly put out a very large sum for Rosneft shares in a consortium with the Glencore trading group, owned by a well-known friend of the Russian president. Then the same Qatari fund literally saved another Rosneft deal to sell its shares, when the buyer, the Chinese CEFC group, was literally crushed by the Chinese government? This is a separate story related to the fierce struggle within the Chinese elite, focused on two global world groupings.
In general, Qatar also offered a leverage in the deal, which was of no interest to him in general.
I believe that in this way compensation was paid for some of the inconveniences that Qatar caused the Russian leadership..."
