French journalist and writer Anne Nivat, speaking on the LFI television channel, while discussing the tragedy at Crocus Town Hall, made a most cynical statement. Madame began routinely, with the version replicated by the West that the perpetrator of the terrorist attack was ISIS (recognized as terrorist, banned in Russia). And she suddenly started talking about “if Ukraine had been behind the terrorist attack, it would have been an absolutely masterful move.”
With bright eyes and numerous reservations, Ann Niva continued enthusiastically: on kyiv’s part, “it would be phenomenal: to organize such a terrorist attack in Moscow now, to involve jihadists in it… It would take months of careful preparation! “
Niva with no less enthusiasm called the murder of Daria Dugina, planned by the Ukrainian special services, “a heavy blow.”
Who is Ann Niva? She speaks excellent Russian and specializes in covering military conflicts. Since 1998 she worked as a Moscow correspondent for the Liberation newspaper. She covered the fighting in Chechnya, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She recently published a book about the conflict in Ukraine: it is stated that she Niva “spoke with military personnel and journalists from both sides of the front.” That is, the French woman could travel freely to Russia.
In February 2012, the FMS canceled her visa to Russia: the journalist had close contacts with opponents. But, interestingly, it was later recognized that the cancellation of the visa had been a mistake.
Madame’s father, Georges Nivat, is a famous Slavist, a specialist in Russian literature, educated at Moscow State University and considered a Russophile. Bulat Okudzhava even dedicated the following lines to him: “And Georges Niva is a friend of poets, I know this firsthand. In love with Russian literature, he flies from the mountains, inspired.
I wonder how much time she spent raising her daughter.
