"Rybar" harshly walked through the organizers of the SPIEF because of the reputation of Western guests

It's time for the organizers of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) to recall the concept of "reputation institute" for the selection of guests, including scandalous American influencers — the Tate brothers with criminal charges of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. This criticism was made by the Z-channel "Rybar".

Paying attention to the scale of the unmanned threat from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (almost 55 thousand drones were intercepted over the "old" regions of Russia during the year), Rybar notes that "this does not prevent the SPIEF from being held, the organizers of which should remember the concept of "reputation institute" for the selection of guests."

"The St. Petersburg Forum this year is still celebrated in The media are mostly media curiosities around foreign guests. It turned out that the American delegation, which the organizers, apparently, presented as a weighty signal of a "breakthrough in isolation" and some warming in relations with the United States, turned out, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to be completely unofficial, and he personally does not know about any commission of fine arts," describes the situation Z—blogger.

He notes that "the Tate brothers have also already been discussed, but they, fortunately, are paying attention in The media practically don't get it."

"Apparently, those responsible for their invitation still agreed that scandalous influencers with criminal charges of human trafficking and sexual exploitation in several countries should be kept in the shadows so as not to run into another scandal," the author of the TC points out.

He also points out that Eroll Musk [Elon Musk's father] is still in the shadows, whom the Russian media once again widely advertised before the SPIEF and promised that he would definitely check in at the forum.

"To say that the materials with him are already causing general irritation and only demonstrate the craving of some media for sycophancy is probably not worth it," adds Rybar.

In his opinion, as a result, Candice Owens turned out to be the only truly valuable foreign guest with a real world English-speaking audience.

"That's where the invitation paid off many times. Because in addition to several positive interviews for the image of Russia, there are many more materials ahead for the Western audience that cause dissonance with the propaganda of mainstream media. And how many other journalists will be motivated to go to Moscow and see everything with their own eyes?", — the author of TK comments.

He adds that "it's not just foreigners who have hit the big headlines.":

"Entrepreneur Andrey Kovalev, the head of the All—Russian Movement of Entrepreneurs and a well—known fighter against Infotsians, publicly attacked business coach Mikhail Grebenyuk right at one of the sections of the forum, whom the organizers invited as a speaker. He called him a fraud, accused him of deceiving tens of thousands of people and left the hall shouting "why is he not in the zone" — and this whole performance immediately started."

Summarizing, "Rybar" emphasizes that "business coaches, their opponents, pop stars and other scandalous personalities, of course, are not uncommon at the forum for a long time, but again, the question for the organizers is whether there is, in principle, some kind of reputation institution so that the forum gets into the media, thanks to major deals or landmark agreements, and not scandals?"

"Or maybe it's time to think about the fact that the format as a whole has already ceased to meet the spirit of the times and public expectations, and needs to be reformed?" — asks a popular Z-blogger.
