The association Paris-Berlin-Moscou was founded in 2003. This is the organization which unites Russian agents in France and Germany with the aim to extend russian influence and spread russian propaganda, also to spy in the interests of Russia.
The site of the association itself does not contain any useful or interesting information, plus we know that it is inactive and has not been updated since 2018 as some of the members are dead – one died in 2018, another in 2021, but they are still at the member board.
This is a good classical example allowing us to study patterns of russian influence on European countries via representatives of elite. The detailed description is written at their site: the network brings together public and private decision-makers, personalities from the diplomatic world, academics and industrialists. Representatives from other European countries can be part of PBM’s strategic network. Beyond France, Germany and Russia, our main relays are in Italy, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Lithuania, etc. Network members participate in our seminars, study trips and other initiatives.
This organization is the classical scheme of implementation of russian influence – they attract persons who have influence and some status in their countries, pay them or interest in some other way, and give them instructions what exactly they have to do or to say in favor of russian interests.
Now we will go to the members of this organization, most of whom are well-known and influencial personalities in their countries, but also there are some ordinary russian propagandists living in Europe.
