An excellent French WN website, “Jeune [ = young] nation” ran an article by the Belgian Pieter Kersten about censorship and account closures on Faceberg and VK.
Here are the key paragraphs relating to VK,. which annihilated with no warning all active WN accounts about ten days ago:
Et il y a quelques jours, le 18 juin, l’Ambassadeur de Russie en France a répondu par une lettre à Kalifat. Alexey Mechkov y fait part de sa préoccupation et a assuré le Président du Crif que les contenus en question seraient attentivement examinés par les services compétents.
Il a également annoncé à Kalifat qu’il avait été ordonné aux administrateurs de Vkontakte « la suppression du contenu illicite, ainsi que des pages personnelles des utilisateurs francophones qui propagent l’antisémitisme et la haine nationaliste sur ce réseau ».
Translated into English:
And a few days later, on June 18 [2019], the Russian Ambassador to France responded with a letter to Kalifat [head of the CRIF, the big Jew organization in France, “their ADL”]. Alexey Meshkov expressed his concern and assured the President of CRIF that the content in question would be carefully examined by the appropriate services.
He also told Kalifat that the administrators of Vkontakte had been ordered “to remove illegal content, as well as close the personal pages of French-speaking users who propagate anti-Semitism and nationalistic hatred on this platform.”

It was obviously a huge shock to all of us when, with no warning, VK closed everyone’s account. And I highly resented it. After all, we went there because of free speech. And we spent valuable time building up relationships there.
I have written many, many pro-Putin things over the last twelve years online.
I wish at this time only to point out one fact:
The purge promised the Jews in June of last year did not take place until February of this year — after over seven months of delay. That should tell you something…. Someone at the Kremlin, maybe the one who appointed the head of VK in 2015, did not like deleting the white nationalists……….maybe someone with the first name “Vladimir.”
