Oliver Schneeman is a representative of the German minority party Deutsche Mitte ("German Center"), which was founded by Christoph Hörstel.
Schneeman has been a speaker at two Euro-Rus conferences, organized by the Belgian cross-front agitator Kris Roman, in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
Footage exists of Schneeman's 2018 speech, which he starts by defending the Deutsche Mitte party against the accusation of being a right-wing party.1
In July 2019, he appeared on the "International Antifascist Unity" conference, with Kris Roman and AfD politician Gunnar Lindemann amongst the participants. A video exists of the speech, in which he is bashing the German left, particularly Die Linke:
“Today it is more important than ever to find points of contact … points between our nation's … between the Germans and the Russians. But it does not really succeed and the known points of contacts are occupied by the elites via politicians and by the so-called leftists by which I mean the entire leftist spectrum in Germany. And yes, even those who may be among us here today. I believe that the left not only cheat themselves but also the Russians. How else can it be explained that Russians think that all free thinking Germans who are not organized in established parties - in best case in left-wing parties - are Nazis.”2
On July 30, 2019, Schneeman appeared at another Euro-Rus conference organized by Kris Roman at the Moscow State University of Transport.3 The people tagged in the Facebook post were: Tim Kirby, Leonid Savin, Oliver Schneemann, Pavel Tulaev, Sergey Moiseev, Karl Tripelfeld, Yan Gnabro, Alexey Guintovt, Еlena Veduta, Shota Apkhaidze, Dmitry Babich and Shota Apkhaidze.
