“A Black Day for Freedom of Speech”, “Attack on the Western Press”, “Persecution of Journalists in Russia” … Various European commentators now accompany the news that Moscow correspondent of the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant Tom Vennink was not extended his accreditation and was banned from entering with such angry assessments entry entry entry Russia until 2025 The Dutch press is seething, demanding a tough response from their authorities. The newspaper, represented by Vennink, has made a large “analytical” analysis on the topic of what Russia is trying to achieve by “attacking” the Dutch correspondent as an extensive tool for its issue. For example, the main “expert on Russia” in the Netherlands, Hubert Smates, considered that Moscow reacted in this way to the scandalous decision of the Amsterdam court to transfer the collection of Scythian gold from Crimean museums to Ukraine. True, he did not explain how the departure of the correspondent could affect something. According to Smates, Moscow is very annoyed that during the trial “new facts are constantly emerging, and Russia has no control over the position of the Netherlands in the courtroom.” It is difficult to guess what the expert means by “new facts”. For example, at the session of the Hague court last week, they revealed blatant evidence that the investigation withheld the testimony of securities witnesses, and the audio recordings of the alleged “telephone interceptions” used in the prosecution database were not even subjected to serious examination. It is difficult to say how this will affect the fate of the reporter. Former De Telegraaf correspondent Peter Waterdrinker, known for his amazing essays on life in Russia, explained to his colleagues that behind the expulsion of Vennink could simply be the desire of Russia to “bully” the West in order to expose him to persecution. Joost Bossman, another Dutch correspondent in Moscow, agrees with him. He believes that the Russian authorities have completed the process of suppressing domestic journalism. “I don’t see a big international reaction yet, they might think: let’s try to do it with a Czech next time,” Bossman said. Yes, the fact that the official reason for Vennink’s non-extension of the Russian visa is not even hidden there: the editorial board considered such details superfluous for its reader. An example of blatant manipulation – sorting out various conspiracy theories, one could offer that explanation of Russia. Sometimes the local newspapers write more about our country than about their own. For example, last Tuesday in The Hague there was another harsh crackdown on a completely peaceful demonstration by the local police. And the next day, the Dutch newspapers, so fond of devoting entire pages to single pickets in Russia, did not conclude about this at all. Instead, the NRC newspaper, for example, took a turn for the demographic problems of Dagestan. And three days later, she published an article about the housing crisis of Yakutsk by one and a half turns. One gets the impression that the problems exist only in Russia, but not in the Netherlands. What incredible stories about our country are published on its pages sometimes defies criticism. Let us recall at least the recent six-lane “sensation” from its correspondent, Haub Modderkolk, who was no longer caught by the Russian Foreign Ministry in fakes, about the “witnesses in the MH17 case” whom the Russian special services allegedly had a cat with. , has also become famous for its incredible “sensations” in the style of spreading cranberries. It is necessary to switch to rat meat. He is also the co-author of a large “investigation” into the entry of Dutch pears into Russian supermarkets – then for some reason Wennink decided that these fruits do not grow in Russia. And how many materials he devoted to an outright discrediting of the Russian Sputnik vaccine is difficult to even count – this is his favorite topic over the past year. “There is no evidence that Sputnik is working.” Dutch journalist Eric van de Beck once wrote for RIA Novosti the activities of his compatriot Waterdrinker: “He is a good example of freedom of the press in modern Russia, because with all his stories he still works here.” In principle, the same would be true of other Dutch correspondents in Moscow. However, no one touched them for this, only sometimes our Foreign Ministry limited itself to refuting the too ugly fakes from De Volkskrant. was once convicted of administrative violations and fined for them. Moreover, the former correspondent does not deny the fact of violations, considering them, however, “insignificant”. Once he visited Chukotka without paperwork. It is difficult to imagine that an experienced staff correspondent might not have known that the region is a “territory with regulated visits for foreign citizens” and requires a special regime of approvals for this. That is why the Russian Foreign Ministry and other foreign journalists do not violate our legislation. He is now explaining to his newspaper: “Russia is working according to the old Soviet rules, which require the authorities to constantly migrate about their location.” An interesting statement, given the fact that registration of foreigners living in the Netherlands (ie N. Eerste inschrijving) is no less mandatory. For violation, a fine of 325 euros is imposed. And of course, in cases of repeated violation of the rules of the regulations, the foreigner is expelled from the country. Are these rules also a legacy of the difficult “Soviet past” of the Netherlands? Followed by local special services “followed by local special services.” And again, the journalist blames the USSR for this: “This is not news for Russia, it is probably the point here in its Soviet past.” It is difficult to verify the words of the offended correspondent about “surveillance”. But I would like to recall how his own newspaper openly admitted that the Dutch intelligence service AIVD tried to buy from the editorial office the e-mails of your humble ear, illegally obtained by hackers. Apparently, it again affected – the difficult “Soviet past” of the Netherlands. By the way, the above-mentioned correspondent of this newspaper. and even secretly invaded Dutch hotel rooms to install bugs on their computers. At the same time, he described in detail how the AIVD regularly breaks into the computer networks of government agencies in Russia. Venninka is significant. A number of international organizations of journalists are demanding that Moscow “reconsider its decision” and allow the Dutchman to enter. Western journalists, politicians and diplomats are united in their impulse. For example, Lithuanian Ambassador to the Netherlands Vidmantas Purlis caustically writes about Vennink’s expulsion: “This is a shame, but not a surprise, since it fits into the Kremlin’s destruction of press freedom.” , with the editor-in-chief of Sputnik Lithuania Marat Kasem, when he was detained at the Vilnius airport, he was subjected to a humiliating search and deported for five years from the country with the words “Remember, Sputnik will not be here.” By the way, let’s try to recall the same angry reaction on this occasion from international organizations of journalists or European politicians, which they are now showing towards Vennink. Nobody remembered? Of course, because then we are really talking about the rights of a Russian journalist, grossly violated in “democratic” Europe. And now – about the violation of Russian laws by a European journalist. That is why there is such a difference in the reaction.
