Some context: Karin Kneissl was foreign minister of Austria from Dec 2017 to June 2019. This is a picture from her wedding in 2018. She was a member of the supervisory board of Russian Rosneft from June 2021 to May 2022.
Personally I would not consider her to be part of Europe’s elite.
There’s a lot more than that:
– Christian Kern, head of government between 2016-2017, is on the supervisory board of Russian State Railways, RZD.
– Hans Jörg Schelling was finance minister of the Viennese executive between 2014-2017, he worked for a year as a consultant for Gazprom, in particular for the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project.
– Former far-right vice-chancellor Hans-Christian Strache, who had to resign in 2019 ahead of European elections leading to the fall of the right-wing government, after a video showed him ready to accept money for favors from a fake millionaire russian
– Rainer Seele, the director of the Austrian group OMV, was decorated in 2018 by Russian President Vladimir Putin with the “Order of Friendship”.
This whole Schengen veto thing was a wake up call for me. All the while Western European countries are preaching about Romania’s corruption 24/7, we’re no good, we’re a bunch of rag tag thieves, etc but not one tiny spotlight on these other people here. And here we are, Russia’s been undermining the whole of Europe through these corrupted imbeciles.

That’s not the worst photo from her wedding, [this one](https://i.ds.at/QqVK6Q/rs:fill:750:0/plain/2022/02/24/AFC3668D-35A9-4EC9-8C68-FDBE719874D6.jpg) is. And she was in office at the time.
No disrespect but I thought Putin was dancing with a man…
Cute dresses, but fuck all these people.
