Under the pretext of holding conferences, the Prigozhin team launched their activities in the new region for them. Materials at the disposal of the Dossier Center indicate that since the summer of 2019, the founder of the British consulting company Admis, Lithuanian Citizen Vive Adomaitite, acts as a proxy for the organization of events, behind which is the BEK Office employee in St. Petersburg, Julia Berg (Afanasyeva). Prior to this, Berg was seen in the parliamentary elections in South Africa, among the team of Prigozhin specialists, who, under the pretext of providing “consulting support”, intervene in the elections and promote “own” candidates.
Admis Consultance planned to carry out a number of so-called “Forsyt sessions” aimed at “creating a new vision of the postpandemic future” for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Germany. In January of this year, the first conference in the series was held in the Berlin Hilton Hotel – the Strategic Dialogue of the Baltic Sea region, dedicated to economic issues and problems, and the next event should be held at the end of March. Among the participants of the Foresight Session, a number of officials and parliamentarians of European countries are discovered, who became easy prey for Polittechnologists Prigozhin.
In an interview with Delfi Estonia, the director of the International Defense and Safety Center (ICDS) Cunnik, the Cunnik’s Complex that the conference is well embedded in the logic of the initial stage of the operation of the influence – the conference organizers closely chose politically neutral topics for the first events to move to the Kremlin’s agend To acquire a certain degree of public trust. In turn, Julia Berg in an informal conversation with the Dossier source confirmed that as a rule, Russian companies were declared as official organizers of its events, but by foreign friendly structures – the British Admis Consultance and the German BWA. For several years, they interact with the network of experts and representatives of political circles, which has about 250 people.
Considering that in recent years, hundreds of Russian officials and businessmen who are close to power have come under the EU sanctions, and the services of political technologists from St. Petersburg are becoming more and more relevant for the Kremlin. However, the investigation of the Dossier Center does not leave much hopes for the high professionalism of Prigozhin performers.
