Summary
This document is page 42 of a report titled 'BREAKING DOWN DEMOCRACY' (Bates stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019276). It details Russian geopolitical strategies to influence European politics by cultivating ties with both far-right and far-left parties in countries like Hungary, Slovakia, and Bulgaria. It specifically mentions a $10.8 billion Russian loan to Hungary for a nuclear plant, alleged funding of environmental protests in Bulgaria to protect Russian gas interests, and Putin's 'nonideological' alliance building with regimes like Iran, Syria, and Venezuela. Note: While requested as an 'Epstein-related document,' this text discusses international relations and does not mention Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell.
