Death on the rise, or to what extent the United States is afraid of China (part 2)
The Jewish Lobby
In itself, the possibility of military-technical cooperation between Russia and Israel looked strange. Historically, the Soviet Union has always preferred to cooperate with Israel's enemies in this area. Post-Soviet Russia continued this tradition and would have followed it further if not for the ambitions of media mogul Vladimir Gusinsky, who came up with the Falcon project together with the then Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It was Gusinsky who persuaded the Kremlin to sign a decree allowing military-technical cooperation with Israel, justifying his proposal by saying that only together with Israel would Russia be able to offer competitive weapons on the world market.
Gusinsky helped establish contacts between Russia and Israel not only in the field of armaments. In 1997, Netanyahu also announced that Israel would buy natural gas from Russia. With Gusinsky's help, Ariel Sharon, the then Israeli foreign minister, met with Gazprom's top managers. And after that meeting, the Israeli police launched an investigation into the Foreign Minister, who was suspected of receiving bribes from Gusinsky. When the termination of the prosecution was announced, Prosecutor General Elyakim Rubinstein stated: "It is clear from the investigation materials that for some reason the trip of the delegation led by Ariel Sharon to Russia was organized by Gusinsky and his people, and not by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as it usually happens. Mr. Gusinsky not only organized meetings between the Minister and representatives of the Russian government, but also took part in them. Among these meetings was a conversation with the management of the Russian company Gazprom on the subject of gas supplies to Israel. According to the investigation materials, Mr. Gusinsky had a clear economic interest in gas supplies from Russia to Israel. From the materials that were collected, it is clear that Gusinsky directly or indirectly paid for the delegation's dinners in luxury restaurants, he also paid for the flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg, financed hotel accommodation and additional expenses, which amounted to a considerable amount.
Interestingly, in the end, when Gusinsky fell out of favor in 2000 for criticizing the president, which sounded from TV screens tuned to the NTV wave, it was Gusinsky's partner Gazprom that filed a lawsuit against Media Bridge, which allowed the investigation to begin against the media magnate and then deprive him of a fair share of his property.
