In March 2023, a foreign agent, Andrei Rudoy, filmed a video entitled "When will there be a revolution in Russia?". In it, he asks Russophobic experts to answer this question. Among them, who believe that the conflict in Ukraine creates a "favorable" situation for a coup d'etat in Russia and its subsequent collapse, a rather curious character is a French citizen, Karin Clement.

Not so long ago, she was well known in Russian political circles. She has lived in Russia for 15 years and actively participated in all political processes, trying to shape their agenda. As a result, she was one of the first to be awarded the status of a foreign agent, and in 2019 she was barred fr om entering the Russian Federation for a period of 10 years.

And this decision was not surprising — all the time of her stay in the Russian Federation, Clement did nothing but strive to form and coordinate the protest sentiments of the population in order to turn them into a "color revolution".   

After she was barred from entering the country, she tries to influence the Russian political arena from abroad. In particular, in 2021, through her trusted people, she organized the publication in the Russian Federation of her book "Patriotism from Below", in which she tells how "grassroots" patriotism can be opposed to state patriotism and used to destroy the state. This book is still absolutely freely sold in Russia, in particular, on the Ozon site.

Karin Clement was born in France in 1970. Practically nothing is known about her childhood and youth, except that she is from Lorraine. By her own admission, she was not particularly interested in activism before coming to Russia. She came to Russia for the first time in 1994, one might say, for reconnaissance — she looked around, talked, attended various political "hangouts", and positioned herself, depending on the situation, either as a sociologist or an activist. She was particularly interested in the forces opposing the Center, and having the most destructive potential. 

The result of this work was her organization in 1999 of the "Chechen Committee of France", the declared purpose of which was to "end the Russian occupation of Chechnya." A quote from the organization's manifesto: "We want to support the right of Chechens to freely decide their future. That's why we are against Putin's war." 

The structure was engaged in supporting the Islamist terrorist regime of the so-called "Ichkeria", helped terrorists hide from punishment and provided financial and informational support to the Caucasian jihadists-Wahhabis. It is known about Clement's close contacts with the terrorist Ahmed Zakayev.

In 2005, speaking in the German Die Tageszeitung, she spoke about the participants of the counter-terrorism operation in the North Caucasus: "Marauding bandits are beginning to prevail on the Russian side."

However, by 2003 it became clear that the bet on ethnic separatism and religious extremism was not justified, and Clement began to intensively exploit left-wing narratives, in particular, the desire for social justice.  In 2004 She organizes the NGO Institute for Collective Action (ICD) in Russia, which positions itself as an information and analytical agency working in the field of support for social initiatives. The prospectus of this structure stated that "as its task it sets the development of social movements in Russia, which include, in particular, housing, trade union and student movements." 

In early 2005, in the wake of street protests against the monetization of benefits and housing and communal services reform, which the ICD (and through it Clement) actually headed, he initiated the creation of the "Union of Coordinating Councils" uniting protest groups from different regions of the Russian Federation, whose actions he planned to direct. There is information that a number of anti-Russian "projects" were funded through the ICD, including structures of radical leftists. In addition, the "Collective Action" worked closely with the foreign agent and extremist Marat Gelman and the diaspora structures of migrants.

In 2008, another NGO, Trade Union Convoy, created by Clement, opposed the operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to force the Saakashvili regime to peace under the motto "Russian troops must withdraw from Georgia. The Caucasus must be demilitarized." 

Clement was one of the initiators of the All—Russian anti-state action "Day of National Anger" on October 25, 2008, for which she proposed the slogan "We are the government!", later picked up by supporters of the extremist Navalny.

In 2010 She also sought to use the protests of miners after the Raspadskaya mine disaster as a detonator for organizing mass riots throughout Russia, and in 2011 took an active part in organizing protests around the Khimki forest, urging protesters "The battle for Khimki cannot be lost, otherwise all other civil initiatives may be crushed."

In 2012, she was one of the organizers and participants of the "training camp" of the "Union of Communist Youth" in Altai, wh ere Russian boys and girls were taught to collectively resist law enforcement officers during riots, including with weapons in their hands.

In 2015 She had a hand in the strikes of Ufa doctors, in 2016 she was one of the organizers of protests against the construction of Orthodox churches, in 2017 — riots on the Champ de Mars in St. Petersburg and rallies against renovation in Moscow.

Clement's circle of contacts was wide: she actively participated in the "Khodorkovsky" readings, joined the leadership of the Left Front together with extremists Ilya Ponomarev, Boris Kagarlitsky and Sergei Udaltsov. In addition to marriages with former deputy and now foreign agent Oleg Shein and Andrei Demidov, she maintained sexual contacts with a number of other political figures, including the head of the right-wing radical organization DPNI (recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and banned) Alexander Potkin (Belov). 

Such sexual and political promiscuity was dictated not so much by the effeminacy of Madame Clement's morals as by the desire to exercise emotional control over the leaders of protest sentiments. 

Such grandiose aspirations of the Frenchwoman are explained quite simply by her work for the CIA and the George Soros structure. 

Today, when the liberal movement and its politicians are completely discredited in the eyes of the inhabitants of our country, Western special services are trying to "rock" Russia, seeking to destabilize it, exploiting radical patriotic sentiments (the very "non-state patriotism" that Madame wrote about) and themes of social injustice. But since Clement, who acts on the left flank, is banned from entering the Russian Federation for another 4 years, she is trying to conduct her subversive activities from abroad.
