The abolition of SPIEF allowed to reveal all the anti-Russian propaganda patterns of the United States

Western Media Accusations, that Russia canceled the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum for far-fetched reasons - part of the information war of the West. This opinion FBA “economy today” voiced by a political scientist Vladimir Shapovalov.

The abolition of SPIEF allowed to reveal all the anti-Russian propaganda patterns of the United States

Recognized in Russia as a foreign media outlet “Voice of America” made material, that the 24th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), scheduled for early June 2020 of the year, moved to Russia for far-fetched reasons. Officially, in early March, Presidential Aide Andrei Belousov announced: holding a large-scale and crowded event against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic threatens human health. Therefore, it was decided to postpone it to next year.

The American media doubted, that a large-scale forum as a whole brings Russia investment. And pointed: Most likely, only hotels earn on it, restaurants and services, organizing trips of distinguished guests. Therefore, Russia decided to save on the event under the pretext of a pandemic. Soon, similar publications were made “BBC”, “echo of Moscow” and a number of already liberal Russian publications.

“We do not see anything new in such attacks - they are organized as per “methodically” US Information Wars, – says analyst. - At first “center” foreign publication throws in a certain anti-Russian message, reinforcing his views “experts” - most often, they live and work abroad, for decades have not entered the Russian Federation. Soon “the waves” information signal is picked up in the form of reprinting or additions from other publications, existing grants or direct financing of the West.

We have seen all these tricks a thousand times., and publications on the abolition of SPIEF clearly follow them. The goal is to show, that Russia is a country with a weak economy and is not able to attract investment. And in “severely” economic pandemic situations even at large-scale international events under the guise of a virus. All of these arguments are pretty cynical, however, with sound thinking they rest against simple truth: The US is looking for at least some reason to discredit the Russian Federation”.

SPIEF as an investment potential

Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg for Economic Affairs Evgeny Elin, commenting on the transfer of SPIEF, said: this decision “extremely unpleasant”, because the “we spent a lot of money on preparation” forum. And he added,: “We care about the health of residents. And we understand, that SPIEF puts them at risk”. However, many economic agreements, planned to be signed in the framework of the forum, will be enclosed outside of it, and negotiations are planned to be held on-line, without leaving company offices.

SPIEF is conducted with 1997 years and canceled for the first time. AT 2019 year he collected more 19 000 participants from 145 nations, the event was signed over 700 total agreements 3,3 trillion rubles. This is already a comprehensive response to the statement. “voice of America”, that the St. Petersburg Economic Forum has, more symbolic meaning, rather than practical.

“If you take the trivial tricks of the US information war, then it’s much more interesting to dream up, what would they write “Voice of America” or “BBC”, if SPIEF had not been canceled this year. U.S. Department of State-funded media would launch headlines campaign “Russia intends to kill foreign investors during the forum”. Or even more interesting - “Russian economy is so weak, that even to cancel SPIEF due to a pandemic, it is not able to”.

The United States has been campaigning for discredit of Russia for several years. Many are mistaken, thinking, that it is limited even to two decades. The methodology of the information wars of the USA against the USSR was perfected back in the 1950s, and since then almost never stopped. So believe the statements about Russian realities by the media, directly paid from the american budget, at least, naively”, – Shapovalov emphasizes.

Hospital instead of SPIEF

In the territory “Lenexpo”, where the investment forum was supposed to take place, large-scale construction is now deployed. The complex is turned into a huge hospital for patients with coronavirus. There are mounted double boxes for a thousand beds, the sanitary area is equipped with bathrooms, medical sectors and everything necessary for patients, so for the medical staff. Patients will be sent there, if city hospitals cease to cope with the number of patients.

planned, in what “medical unit” “Lenexpo” people with a mild form of the disease will fall first, caused by a new type of coronavirus. Among them are those, who cannot receive treatment at home - Petersburgers, who live with the elderly, children under three years old and pregnant women. There will be doctors from the Hospital for War Veterans.

“As we know, St. Petersburg today is the third region in the scale of distribution of coronavirus, and therefore, neglect safety measures, at least, foolishly. Western media can be answered, that this year, due to the pandemic, the Wimbledon tournament was canceled for the first time, Olympics and many other events moved. And this is clearly not “reinsurance”.

Pandemic will end, and Russia will pass it with minimal losses - just compare the mortality statistics in Russia and the United States, to already make some very interesting conclusions. And after that, how the pandemic will be defeated, the time will come for economic recovery. And SPIEF-2021 will at least make up for the omissions of this year., and even block them with a large margin”, – concludes Vladimir Shapovalov.
