Austria has been cultivating strong political and economic ties with tbe former USSR and later with Russia. This may have been for the benefit of buying cheap energy for the country, but it was also not exactly to the personal disadvantage of a few dozens Austrian entrepreneurs and the many politicians involved over the years. The Swiss paper NZZ recently published a long read about that which provides a first good overview of Russia-Austria relations: Dancing with Putin: Why Austria is still so close to the Kremlin
Done, but please feel free to do it yourself whenever you think it is helpful for your community (and thanks for pointing me to this community, I didn’t know it).
Thanks a lot for this. The Swiss, of course, know a lot about dancing with devils. Austrians should not be surprised if one day the devil comes to supper and refuses to leave.

That was an educational read. Imho, it would benefit the community if it posted on m/worldnews. Would you be willing to?
