Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please find attached a general information about the German version of my book Requiem for Europe which I published in Moscow in June 2024.
At St.Petersburg University Press we published the German version as well as Chinese, French, and Spanish.

Times are not getting easier, so the books can only be bought in Russia.

For various reasons I have decided to stop my telegram channel tonight. I enjoyed the good atmosphere of dialogue with many of you, learnt from your comments, and met so to say inspiring people.

I am working non stop and prefer to dedicate the remaining free time to reading books and taking good care of my little farm.

With warm regards to those with a heart, head, and backbone

Karin Kneissl

A printed version of "Requiem for Europe" in German is available for order on the website of St Petersburg University Press. Please find the link below:

A digital version is available here:

Unfortunately, no payment by direct bank transfer is currently possible between Russia and Europe, so you should find an opportunity to pay via a bank card of a non-European country, for example one issued in Kazakhstan or Armenia.

In our podcast Flavio Von Witzleben and I discussed the probable impact of the NATO - Ukraine joint attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.

Five weeks ago I said: there is no reason for "Schadenfreude". It will affect the global market, since oil is globally traded.

By the way, the terms Schadenfreude just like Blitzkrieg are used in German in other languages. There are profound reasons for that. Schadenfreude is something deeply connected to the German language. The French created Rabat Joie, but the English employ the original German term.

☦️ Aujourd’hui, le 28 juillet, on célèbre la Journée du Baptême de la Russie !

🗓 C’est en ce jour de l’an 988 que le grand-prince Vladimir, souverain de la Rus’, accompagné de sa suite, reçut le baptême dans la ville de Korsoun (Chersonèse), en Crimée.

Bien que l’année 988 soit considérée comme la date officielle de l’adoption du christianisme comme religion d’État dans la Rus’, les premières étapes de sa christianisation avaient été engagées bien auparavant. Des cas isolés de conversion au christianisme sont attestés dès les années 860 et, en 957, la princesse Olga, régente de la Rus’, grand-mère du prince Vladimir, reçut le baptême à Constantinople.

🎙 Maria Zakharova, porte-parole du Ministère russe des Affaires :

« Plusieurs philosophes russes et étrangers considèrent le choix du prince Vladimir comme un véritable choix de civilisation, le qualifiant de « tournant de la barbarie païenne vers l'Europe ».

C'est précisément pour cette raison qu'il est particulièrement triste d’observer ceux qui, de nos jours, dans le Vieux Continent, détruisent littéralement la religion chrétienne⁦.

La situation en Ukraine constitue le point culminant de ce que l’Occident fait subir à sa propre civilisation. »

(Extrait du point de presse de la porte-parole du Ministère russe des Affaires étrangères du 27 juillet 2026.)

📍 L’adoption du christianisme a marqué un tournant décisif non seulement dans la vie religieuse, mais aussi dans la vie politique de la Russie ancienne, en favorisant l’établissement de liens étroits avec les pays chrétiens.

Of course they used a certain inflationary photo though that was not the topic of the conversation 🤗

#180: Achillesferse des Welthandels

In der neuen Folge spreche ich mit Karin Kneissl über die Achillesferse des Welthandels und die dramatische Eskalation im Nahen Osten. Wir analysieren die neue Dynamik im Krieg zwischen den USA und dem Iran, die strategische Bedeutung der Straße von Hormus und die Folgen für den globalen Energiehandel.

Außerdem geht es um den milliardenschweren EU-Drohnenpakt mit der Ukraine, den erneuten Regierungsumbau in Kiew, das Unterstützertreffen in Paris sowie den überraschenden Widerstand Katars gegen den geplanten Rüstungsdeal im VW-Werk Osnabrück. Welche geopolitischen und wirtschaftlichen Verschiebungen sich derzeit abzeichnen – und warum sie weit über die aktuellen Konflikte hinausreichen.

Good evening,

Please find attached an interview with Ms.Akmaral Batalova, a journalist from Kazakhstan. We met at the International Security Forum in Moscow in May and we did a tour d'horizon on the recent NATO meeting in Ankara and the US-attacks against Iran. as well as the Israeli terror against Lebanon, the country I call my second home. The original in English was translated into Russian.

It was a surprise, sort of CNN breaking news, when in June 2013 Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al Thanki resigned and his son Tamim succeeded to the throne. Who ever pulled the strings bethind the curtains, the US, the British, some energy companies... peu importe, Qatar managed well this orchestrated change of leadership. Some voices claim that it was all about the Muslim Brotherhood, others were pointing the finger to the role of Al Jazeera. Now at the age of 74 he has passed away. It was during his rule that the peninsula Qatar turned into a global broker both in in the world of finance and in diplomacy.
The late senior Emir oversaw the sovereign wealth fund. It was him and his then oil minister Al-Attiyah who turned Qatar from a medium sitzed OPEC oil producer intot the global LNG leader in the 1990s.
Only a few weeks prior to the death of the Sheikh that impressive oil and gas man passed away.
Abdulla bin Hamad al-Attiyah, Qatar’s former oil minister affectionately known as the “godfather of LNG,” died on 27 May. Important gas producers did not immediately understand the revolutionary changes due to the liquefication of gas. This technology made gas exporters more independent. They could pick and choose their clients instead of being tied down by pipelines. For sure geography, access to sea also play their role.

I had the honour and pleasure to meet Minister al-Attiyah several times and it was always imspiring to listen to him at the margins of the OPEC conferences im Vienna. In 2019, Qatar would quit OPEC.

On a general note, it is an irony of history that the Qatar Investment fund as an important shareholder in numerous German and French companies, such as VW, but above all banks and let us not forget football clubs, will hopefully stop the Germans from more warmongering.

As I often said during my office as foreign minister, when I wanted to meet adults I travelled east and south.

Good afternoon,
Yesterday I drove for 12 intense hours to Moscow and luckily got a lot of things done, buying certain construction materials for the renovation, food for the ponies and the parrots, meetings and in the evening three interviews at the RT studios.

Always a pleasure meeting the different worlds, from RT German to RT international and RT Arabic. The French colleagues had time only late in the evening but I needed to get back home, 300 km and finding a petrol station.

Life is about being organised and fatalist in parallel. That is my Lebanese school of life. And being yesterday among my Lebanese colleagues was a good booster of Lebanese spirit.

La lottà continuà ✊✊ as the old Italian wisdom says.

#178: Moskau soll brennen

In der neuen Folge spreche ich mit Karin Kneissl über die geopolitischen Spannungen, die den Nahen Osten, Europa und die USA zugleich erschüttern. Von den Verhandlungen zwischen Washington und Teheran über die strategische Bedeutung der Straße von Hormus bis zur jüngsten Eskalation im Ukraine-Krieg analysieren wir die Machtverschiebungen einer Welt im Umbruch. Außerdem geht es um einen mutmaßlichen Anschlag in Monaco und die Entwicklungen in den USA zum 250. Jubiläum der Unabhängigkeit.
