MILITARY-DIPLOMATIC ACADEMY OF GRU: SELECTION AND TRAINING OF OFFICERS-INTELLIGENCE

The training of intelligence officers is carried out by the Military Diplomatic Academy (formerly the Academy of the Soviet Army), and is popularly called the "Conservatory". The Academy is located near the Oktyabrskoe Pole metro station. The academy has several faculties where intelligence officers are trained both for work abroad and for service in the intelligence agencies of the country's army.

In fig. 2.19 shows the organizational structure of the academy with its faculties and specialized departments.

The recruitment of new officers to the academy according to a long-approved scheme (procedure) is carried out, as a rule, at the end of each year. The leadership of the academy sends its representatives to the troops and fleets to recruit students. Preference is given to combat-ready military units and formations of the Navy and Air Force. Arriving in a division, brigade or army, the teachers of the GRU academy first of all get to know in detail the personal files of officers under the age of 35 and with a military rank of at least a captain. Those officers whose personal affairs satisfy the teachers of the GRU Academy are summoned to Moscow for an interview after the beginning of the new year. Some of them are invited to take entrance exams, which are held from January to May, and in September those who have passed the entrance exams begin their studies at the academy.

The Military Diplomatic Academy occupies a worthy place in the training of intelligence officers for many types of activities, both domestically and abroad. The Academy has a highly qualified teaching staff with extensive experience in military intelligence, including abroad - in illegal work.

Practice shows that in the process of training, which lasts three years, many of the students are screened out for professional unsuitability for intelligence activities. Particular attention is paid to the study of foreign languages ​​of those countries to which this officer is to leave.

In fig. 2.20 shows the technology (algorithm) of selection, assessment and "recruiting" of officers from military units for training at the academy.

I would like to dwell on some details of the selection and assessment of future students at the GRU Academy. A representative of the GRU is instructed to select no more than 10 officers, but he has to check about 100 people to find this top ten. A number of future students are recruited from among graduates of military academies. This selection justifies the efforts of the GRU representatives, and indeed 90% of them are enrolled in the Military Diplomatic Academy.

One of the stages of verification is that a representative of the GRU academy comes to the candidate's apartment and has, as a rule, a normal conversation with him. At the same time, it attaches great importance to the assessment of the candidate's wife. Sometimes it happens that a wife is not suitable for some reason, such as intelligence or excessive emotionality. And this means that no matter how good the officer himself is, he will not be a scout. It must be emphasized that the representatives of the GRU are so experienced that at first glance at the home environment they understand whether they came in vain or it makes sense to continue the conversation.

The main criteria by which the representatives of the selection group are guided are shown in Fig. 2.21.

Upon arrival in Moscow, the candidates selected by the GRU representatives are tested using a variety of test tests before passing the exams. Some of these tests, and there are a fairly large number of them, are shown in Fig. 2.22. Among them there are tests for memory, for the ability to learn foreign languages, for attention, for "noise immunity". Typically, candidates go through hundreds of tests, from 9 am to 5 pm for a full week.

During testing, the teacher may, for example, say a phrase in an unfamiliar language and ask her to repeat it. Or, for example, he shows dozens of photo portraits in a row at a fairly fast pace and presents them by their last names: Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov, Vasiliev ... Then the photos are mixed and quickly shown again, and the officer must put numbers next to the names written in advance, which number has now become Petrov, Sidorov ... Or they say a series of words from a line and ask to repeat it without changing the word order.

Practice shows that, as a rule, there is no 100% number of officers who have passed the test. That is, some of the selected candidates do not pass the test. Of course, there are times when some officers pass all tests with positive success.

Therefore, officers who have partially failed the tests are taken to the academy. It should be noted that officers who have passed all the tests with great success are usually not admitted to the academy. In intelligence, the principle operates: a scout should not stand out for his excessive abilities among others.

As I already wrote, after passing the tests, future students are required to pass competitive exams. Most often, exams show the ability to learn foreign languages.

At the last stage, future listeners are interviewed, which takes place in a festive atmosphere, as a rule, in a large hall. Specialists of the academy, including psychologists, are invited for an interview, and various questions of interest to them are asked. Among them, for example, why did you decide to go on reconnaissance? Or what do you drink from alcoholic beverages and how much? Do you love women and how do you treat them?

There is also one well-established feature. In the selection process, applicants see only their own group, with which they will have to study. And all those who take the tests are separated into separate rooms in different corridors.

The academy does not take people who come themselves, but sometimes there are “thieves”. These are, as a rule, officers who have high-ranking chiefs of the GRU, General Staff, Ministry of Defense, etc. How not to please in this case, especially when there is an opportunity to work in diplomatic missions abroad.

After passing the above procedures, officers become first-year students of one of the faculties of the Military-Diplomatic Academy of the GRU. Students are involved in the educational process, while the most serious attention is paid to the study of foreign languages. Earlier I wrote about how and how linguists teach foreign languages. I gave my personal example of studying Arabic with Captain N. Mayburov and Hebrew with A. Rubinstein.

Unfortunately, some listeners are practically not given such languages ​​as Arabic, Persian, Chinese, Vietnamese, then after the first semester they have to be expelled and sent to the troops at the place of their previous or other other service. They also study other subjects, including regional studies, special equipment, driving a car, and so on.

The teaching staff at the academy is making significant efforts to train intelligence officers in the best possible way.

In fig. 2.23 indicates those basic academic disciplines that should be mastered by future military intelligence officers who go on long missions to foreign countries.

Special attention is paid to the methods and ways of training everyone. So, in order to memorize 50 words, you need to compose a story with these words, in which the listener himself actively acts. They teach the art of communicating with potential agents and the art of leaving when the "tail" follows you, that is, the counterintelligence representative of the host country. Considerable attention is paid to the study of the processes of intelligence work. This is a closed topic, and it is not customary to disclose the technology of teaching students to undercover work. This is a kind of military intelligence know-how of any country in the world. Still, certain points should be stated. So, for example, even in the first year, all of Moscow is divided into sectors and each student is allocated their own sector. In the dedicated sector, the listener must prepare routes with attendances, places of verification. Routes, as a rule, are worked out to the point of automaticity in order to timely "detect outdoor surveillance", which tracks down the "agent" - the student of the academy. The agent is led by several people who have radio communication with each other. It is important to remember that if the "agent" slows down slightly and some citizens fly out from around the corner a couple of times, then it is better to leave this route. Or, for example, the “agent-listener” jumped out of the subway car at the last moment before the doors were closed and suddenly discovered that somewhere else another car door slammed belatedly, again it’s not worth the risk. But if "you left", then in any country "outdoor" will definitely set you up, for example, provoke a fight, something else. And you will automatically be included in the Who's Who directory and become persona non grata, that is, you will be able to leave the country within 24-72 hours.

I remember an incident that happened to one of my scout friends. It was in the 60s and 70s in Austria. Our Soviet intelligence officer worked there under diplomatic cover. One day he drank a little and, in order not to get into any unusual story, decided to catch a taxi and go to his place of residence. Apparently, they were already following him. He stopped a taxi and got into the car. The driver started to move with great speed, and only then our scout noticed that next to him in the back seat was a young beautiful woman. The scout did not know what to decide: either to drive in silence, or to stop the car and get out. Before he had time to comprehend what was happening, this young woman tried to sit on his lap and unbutton her blouse, and under the blouse the bra was removed in advance. Suddenly the driver adjusts the front mirror and sees this couple in all their splendor. Then he immediately drives them to the nearest police station. As soon as the car stopped, the police opened the door and took pictures of the whole picture.

Experience shows that it is quite difficult for a scout to get away from outdoor surveillance. Especially in recent years, when you can attach a tiny sensor to the car and "outdoor" is no longer needed. While studying at the academy, KGB (FSB) officers perform outdoor activities. Sometimes, for training purposes, a command is specifically given to take the "listener" when laying a cache or when moving along the route to a meeting with "agents". The committee members take such training very seriously and they record everything on video, and then pass it on to the leadership of the academy.

Choosing a hiding place is a very serious matter. It is important that there are successful approaches to it, and the information should be instantly pawned and withdrawn.

From the experience of my intelligence colleagues, I will give you one example. My colleague, with whom I studied at the Military Institute of Foreign Languages, was sent to one of the Arab countries for illegal work. Having received a well-developed "legend", at the age of 24, this young lieutenant, upon his arrival in the country, bought a tent for repairing women's shoes at the market. This tent was the place of the agents' appearance and his hiding place. A woman or a girl came and asked to fix the heel of her shoes. The lieutenant took her shoes, unscrewed the heel and withdrew the report and put another assignment in the same place. And so it went on for several decades. He went abroad as a lieutenant, and returned to his homeland as a colonel. By the way, the system of training illegal officers is carried out according to a different scheme and in other premises available on the books of the GRU. In fig. 2.24 shows a rough diagram of the training of intelligence officers for work in illegal conditions.

The educational institutions in which the future GRU officers were trained are shown in Fig. 2.25.

The final point in the training of intelligence officers is "penetration" into a secure facility in Moscow, in this case, into one of the "mailboxes", moreover, legally. And he must come up with a reason for penetration. It is known that secure enterprises have always been strictly guarded and it is almost impossible to get there without a permit. And how to do this, the future intelligence officer must decide for himself, turn around, look for acquaintances. In addition, he must "recruit" his agent who is able to give him the necessary information about the operation of the enterprise, the structure of the object, the decisions made on it, etc.

But with all this, one restriction is strictly operating - the listener has no right to recruit women. It should also be noted that the “recruited agents” do not bear any responsibility, since the GRU does not disclose this information at all. This completes the training at the Military-Diplomatic Academy of the GRU, and the graduate is sent to the place of service by the decision of a special commission.

In real practice, intelligence officers abroad have to enter into various contacts, the main ones are shown in Fig. 2.26. In all these situations, the scouts must be careful not to jeopardize the tasks assigned to them by the GRU.

Undoubtedly, the most difficult work goes to the illegal officers who must live in a foreign country and carry out the intelligence missions assigned to them.

In recent years, the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the General Staff of the Russian Federation * has been failing after failure. Lists of undercover workers are circulating on the Internet, employees are expelled after spy scandals, high-ranking intelligence officers are killed under strange circumstances, and the entire leadership of the secret service is under American sanctions. The Grushniki associate this not only with the successes of foreign counterintelligence, but also with the subversive activities of the native FSB. Their response to the Chekists, as the Investigation Management Center (IRC) found out, was the exposure of the Humpty Dumpty hacker group and its curator, FSB Colonel Sergei Mikhailov.

The LRC transmits from the special front line and calculates the losses of both sides.

« There has never been such a setup in the history of the GRU.»

A massive drain of undercover military intelligence officers (in the slang for grushniki - "jackets") took place on July 15, 2014 on the Russian site "Military Materials" (Warfiles.ru), where a material by a certain Vladimir Kolpakov, "The War in Putin's Spy Triad", appeared. The article was quickly deleted. It told that a fierce undercover war for financial flows was going on between the Russian special services, and that Vladimir Putin, from the very beginning of his arrival in the Kremlin, was consistently destroying the best cadres of the GRU. Quote: “Despite the fact that a few years ago the GRU dissolved in a very significant part of the FSB, the Lubyanka believes that this is not enough. The FSB is haunted by the foreign assets of the GRU, which to this day represent clandestine business empires. "

As you know, since Soviet times, the GRU and the First Main Directorate of the KGB of the USSR (PGU, since 1992 renamed the Foreign Intelligence Service) have been engaged in military-technical and political espionage, as well as sabotage activities in foreign countries. Employees of the GRU and PGU were listed in the Soviet embassies and foreign trade enterprises as advisers, representatives, drivers and technical specialists. After the collapse of the USSR, many ministries and departments were abolished, from which there were large state corporations and companies such as Rosoboronexport, Gazprom, Aeroflot, where the jackets were assigned.

Kolpakov's note from "Military Materials" together with a list of grushnikov managed to reprint dozens of Russian and foreign sites, discussion began on specialized forums. For example, one of the popular Ukrainian sites found out that Konstantin G., who appears on the list, previously worked on the church line in Kiev, and now is listed as an adviser at the Moldovan embassy, ​​and Vladimir K. was a representative of Aeroflot in the Netherlands, and then he was transferred to Washington.

As a source of the LRC in the Ministry of Defense said, “there has never been such a setup in the history of the GRU” - “all the men were in shock.”

According to the SPARK database, the owner of the Military Materials website, on which Kolpakov posted a list of GRU employees, is VO-Media LLC registered in Izhevsk, its co-founders are former policeman Andrei Ermilov, businessman Pavel Solomatin and studio photographer Vadim Smirnov.

In addition to Military Materials, VO-Media owns information resources Voennoe Obozrenie, Political Review and the domains yarusskii.ru, rospolitics.ru, politobozrenie.ru and politmos.ru. The co-founders call themselves patriots and anti-liberals, publish relevant materials about the threats to Russia from the US and NATO and about the events in Ukraine.

The LRC phoned the photographer Smirnov:

- We have hundreds of authors and I don't remember that. Most likely, the article is not ours and was posted in the "Opinions" section - anything can get there. We had some sort of showdown with the FSB, but since we are not their enemies, we simply deleted it.

The Department of Military Counterintelligence (DCKR) of the FSB and the Center for Information Security (CIB) of the FSB joined the search for the author of the high-profile leak. The infamous curator of the Russian Internet, Colonel Sergei Mikhailov, who was arrested at the beginning of 2017 for treason in the "Humpty Dumpty case" was involved in operational activities through the Central Information Security Service of the FSB.

So, with reference to the criminal art. 283 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (disclosure of state secrets) Colonel Mikhailov sent out threatening letters to domain registrars in the RU and RF zones demanding to suspend the delegation of domain names to various sites - until they delete Kolpakov's reprinted article. For example, at the request of the Central Information Security Service of the FSB, the registrar of the sites LLC "Ragtime" (Webnames) in September 2015 for three days blocked the information resource "Open City" (Opentown.org), which reprinted Kolpakov's article. At the same time, the FSB did not write directly to the owner of the site, Alexei Kovalenko, from the FSB, and he learned about the requirement to delete the article from a copy of the letter from the Lubyanka to the registrar after the blocking. After deleting the article, he told about the incident, and posted a copy of the letter.

« Drink to hell, fight, scandal among themselves over parking spaces»

Swearing at the clumsy work of the FSB, the grushniki followed the trail of the author of the leak, several companies specializing in IT technologies, in fact, secret offices of the GRU, or design bureaus on state orders from the Ministry of Defense, were involved in the search.

There are more than a dozen of such offices in the capital region. For example, located in the Solnechnogorsk District of the Moscow Region, an autonomous non-profit organization "Professional Association of Informatics Systems Designers" ("ON KSI"), caught in 2016 for hacker attacks on the servers of the US Democratic Party under US sanctions. In an inconspicuous two-story mansion, work is in full swing around the clock, and on the official website of "PO KSI" you can find out that "the organization employs 100 employees and the team is represented by graduates of the Moscow State Institute of Electronic Technology - highly qualified specialists in the field of circuitry, programming and design of microelectronic systems with many years of experience work ". In 2015, the revenue of the autonomous non-profit organization amounted to 1.5 billion rubles, and in 2016, "PO KSI" won government contracts for 658 million rubles, including 531 million rubles from PJSC "Tupolev" for the development of an optoelectronic surveillance system for equipping aircraft observation of Tu-214ON.

During the investigation, it turned out that the writer Kolpakov does not exist in nature, and the article came from an email address registered in Moldova. Moreover, according to our source, the Moldovan "FSB officers" refused to cooperate with the GRU.

As for the names of some "jackets", they may have been taken from the annual reports of state-owned companies, which, according to the law, are subject to mandatory publication.

The setting data of other grushnikov could fall into the wrong hands, for example, at the place of registration from housing and communal services management companies or precinct election commissions. There are examples of this: in March of this year in Shchukino, police woke up a drug-addicted male perfumery seller who was “hanging” at a bus stop. During the search, he was found to have lists and cell phone numbers of residents of the Ministry of Defense's departmental houses on Narodniy Opolcheniya Street, in which GRU officers and teachers of the Military Academy of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (formerly called the Military Diplomatic Academy) live. Having come to his senses, the perfume seller said that during the election campaigns he allegedly worked as an agitator for United Russia and the papers with the voters' addresses were simply lying around in his bag.

As it turned out, until 2014, military intelligence officers voted at polling station No. 3789, located on the territory of the Military Academy. But due to numerous falsifications and complaints from candidates, it was abolished, and now military intelligence goes to vote in one of the schools in Shchukino.

Previously, the houses of Moscow grushniki were serviced by the infamous Slavyanka management company, which is part of Oboronservice, which was later declared bankrupt (in 2016, the general director of the company, Alexander Yelkin, was sentenced to 11 years of strict regime. - SDGs). Now the company is engaged in the LLC "Splav T" registered in St. Petersburg, on the phone of which we were told that they did not give information about the tenants to just anyone and advised us to contact United Russia.

The party cell of United Russia in Shchukino is headed by the founder of the "Team Starship Troopers" project Zlata Chepurnaya. In her correspondence, she said that she knew nothing about the arrest of her party member or agitator.

The Shchukino MIA declined to comment and redirected us to the press service of the metropolitan police. By the way, we asked local operatives how the criminal situation in the houses of the policemen was concerned:

- Yes, like all "boots" drink to hell, fight, scandal among themselves because of parking spaces, - one of the operas said in confidence. - One general, who previously worked as an adviser to Gaddafi, became obsessed with religion and brought home a thief who called herself an Orthodox journalist from Lvov. In short, the interview lasted three days, and then she stole his orders and gold coins. Another drunken "illegal" (illegal scout - working under the guise of a citizen of the country in which he is. - SDGs) used a prostitute all night, and in the morning my documents, a hunting rifle and two pairs of boots disappeared. We mistook another polkan for an attempted rape of a fifth-grader. They almost turned the neck of this bastard. One joy - these Khrushchevs will soon be demolished.

The LRC found out another interesting detail: a year before the "jackets" were leaked on the "Military Materials" website, a whole series of burglaries and personal belongings from the cars of senior GRU officers took place in the capital. Thus, in June and December 2013, the portfolios were stolen from Colonels L. and B. At the police, they reported that they had “forgotten them in the car”. Among the stolen items, the unfortunate scouts indicated a naval officer's dagger, a Montblanc fountain pen and official documents. The police never found the intruders.

"The very fact of such a death, even for a professional intelligence officer, is not something exceptional."

GRU cadres graduate from the Military Academy of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (formerly the Military Diplomatic Academy) in Moscow on Narodnogo militia Street (military unit 22177, in the language of Grushnikov - "conservatory"). At the academy, the "musicians" receive a second military education, preliminary candidates for three years undergo a comprehensive check for reliability and moral qualities. At the "conservatory" there is a faculty of foreign languages, postgraduate studies and higher academic courses, but three faculties are considered the main ones. 1st faculty(strategic intelligence) trains residents under the roof of embassies. As a rule, they are listed as advisers, secretaries of ambassadors, or trade representatives of Russian and foreign organizations. Their tasks include communication with "illegal immigrants", collecting information and recruiting agents. So, in 2014, the GRU colonel, 30-year-old Viktor Ilyushin, was expelled from France. According to the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur, the colonel was recruiting officials from the inner circle of former French President François Hollande.

Graduates 2nd faculty(agent-operational intelligence) after graduation they work as military attachés abroad. For example, in December 2016, a GRU employee Eduard Shishmakov, who graduated from the 2nd faculty of the "conservatory", was put on the international wanted list for an attempted coup in Montenegro (he used documents addressed to Shirokov). Before Montenegro, Shishmakov served as a naval attaché at the Russian embassy in Warsaw and was expelled from the country in 2014 for recruiting a Polish serviceman, the Montenegrin prosecutor's office said.

Graduated 3rd faculty(operational-tactical intelligence), are assigned to the headquarters of military districts or command individual units abroad. Perhaps the most famous graduate of this faculty was the deputy chief of the GRU, Major General Yuri Ivanov, whose body was found off the coast of Turkey in August 2010. A few days earlier, he had disappeared while swimming on vacation in the Syrian city of Latakia, where a Russian military base is located.

“Rossiyskaya Gazeta” two days after Ivanov’s funeral published an article “Death of a General”. Quote: “Though what to guess about? Last summer, a huge number of people, even very good swimmers, drowned. And the very fact of such a death, even for a professional intelligence officer, is not something exceptional. " The death of Ivanov was overgrown with numerous rumors, some military experts suggested that he drowned not without the help of the Syrian brothers. So, it was said that the general somehow helped the Israelis to send to the next world the founding father of the Syrian special services, the former SS Hauptsturmführer, 98-year-old Alois Brunner. During World War II, Brunner was the right-hand man of Adolf Eichmann, who was responsible for the mass extermination of Jews in concentration camps. Brunner, who fled from justice, was sheltered by the father of the current President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad Hafez. After two assassination attempts by Israeli "cleaners", the former SS Hauptsturmführer lost an eye and three fingers. Brunner died in March 2010, and General Ivanov drowned six months later.

In an interview with "Interlocutor", the historian of the special services, retired FSB Major General Valery Malevanny said that the training and education of personnel intelligence officers is an expensive pleasure: in total, "jackets" have been prepared for at least five years, and an illegal intelligence officer - ten. The cost of training one military attaché is $ 5 million, and the “illegal” - $ 10 million. Thus, the publication of Kolpakov cost the country several hundred million dollars.

« Shoot yourself or resign»

A year after the GRU's residency network was leaked, a new scandal erupted in the Defense Ministry: Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu received a letter from the hacker group Anonymous International (aka Humpty Dumpty) with a proposal to shoot himself or resign. The hackers justified their "request" by the fact that they managed to break into the mailbox of the assistant to the former head of the Department of Military Development General Roman Filimonov, 30-year-old Ksenia Bolshakova, and they had documents under the heading "Top Secret" at their disposal: passwords and access to the service mail servers of the Ministry of Defense , plans and estimates for the construction of a base for Iskander-M missiles near Kaliningrad, and personal correspondence of some of the "stripes" from the General Staff.

General Filimonov previously held the posts of vice-governor of St. Petersburg, Moscow region, then moved to the Ministry of Defense. Shortly before it became known about the hacking of the mail, he moved to the chair of the head of the Central Directorate for the repair of Russian Railways. Now Filimonov holds the post of First Deputy Chairman of PJSC FGC UES.

While still working in St. Petersburg, the official became a hero of publications in local media more than once, and in 2010, during a boat trip with a company along the Gulf of Finland, he fell overboard and received open fractures of both legs and a closed fracture of the hip. Filimonov brought his assistant Bolshakova from St. Petersburg, and before that the girl worked as a journalist in small publications and the State Construction Supervision Service.

At the beginning of July 2015, the lot with Bolshakova's mail correspondence was put up for sale on the Information Exchange; later, Humpty Dumpty posted screenshots of several letters. While the leadership of the Ministry of Defense was deciding how to react to what was happening, on August 7, 2015, the hackers published an open letter to Colonel General Alexander Bezverkhny, head of the FSB FSCR. Quote: “With regret, we were convinced of the complete incompetence of the employees of a number of units of the RF Ministry of Defense in the field of information security, and more specifically, of criminal negligence. Through free mail services such as yandex.ru, mail.ru and the American gmail.com, unencrypted official documents were transmitted, often representing classified information related to the defense of the Russian Federation. We note with sadness that if this information became available to us, then with a greater degree of probability it could be available to the special services of a number of interested countries. "

At the end of its message, "Humpty Dumpty" offered the head of the military counterintelligence of the FSB Bezverkhny to buy out the archive of Bolshakova's assistant, estimated at 350 bitcoins (at the exchange rate on the date of the letter - 6.2 million rubles), with a 50% discount.

- You can imagine how Shoigu felt when FSB director Bortnikov laid out papers in front of the president and began to report on a mocking letter to counterintelligence, the leaking of our residency on the Internet and a chronic mess in the central apparatus of the Ministry of Defense, - said the same source in the military department. - Returning to his office, Shoigu demanded to urgently find those behind the hackers (Fontanka reported in February that Shoigu initiated the development of Shaltay-Boltai).

"As soon as Lewis began to work under the roof of the FSB, he lost his sense of danger."

General Sergei Gizunov, Deputy Chief of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Federation (previously headed the 85th Main Center of the GRU Special Service (military unit 26165), specializing in cryptography), was in charge of the operational group on the Shaltay-Boltay case; and technology. At the end of 2016, Gizunov, together with the head of the GRU and two of his other deputies).

The reports went directly to the head of the GRU, Colonel-General Igor Sergun, and after his sudden death in January 2016, to General Igor Korobov, who headed the special service.

Military intelligence has established that the author of the letter to the Minister of Defense Shoigu and the FSCR of the FSB was one of the founders of "Humpty Dumpty" Vladimir Anikeev (Lewis). In addition to hacking the servers of the Ministry of Defense, hackers are credited with opening the Twitter account of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, publishing the personal correspondence of his press secretary Natalya Timakova, Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, deputy head of the internal policy department of the presidential administration Timur Prokopenko, “Putin’s chef” Yevgeny Prigozhin and TV presenter Dmitry Kiselev.

The policemen were surprised when they discovered that Anikeev-Lewis had been recruited by the FSB, and his direct supervisor is the head of one of the FSB's CIB divisions, Colonel Sergei Mikhailov, who fought with the websites that circulated the GRU residency list. In addition, military intelligence has established that Mikhailov had secret contacts with the American special services. Our source in the Ministry of Defense refused to tell us how exactly the policemen managed to figure out the hackers and their supervisor, the Chekist Mikhailov. He only said that Shoigu reported everything to Putin and he summoned FSB director Alexander Bortnikov to the carpet.

After debriefing from Putin, the FSB took Colonel Mikhailov and his hacker agents into operational development. Soon, members of Shaltay-Boltai Vladimir Anikeev (Lewis), Alexander Filinov and Konstantin Teplyakov (March Hare) were arrested within the framework of a criminal case on illegal access to computer information.

Following the treason, Mikhailov himself, his deputy Dmitry Dokuchaev (a former hacker) and the head of the computer incidents investigation department at Kaspersky Lab Ruslan Stoyanov were arrested. According to the investigators, using their official position, they regularly supplied information to representatives of the US intelligence services. An example of a media leak was the data transmitted by the CIA on the owner of the Russian hosting company King Servers Vladimir Fomenko, from whose servers in August 2016 a cyberattack was carried out on voter registration systems in the states of Illinois and Arizona.

Along the way, Mikhailov's immediate supervisor, the head of the Central Information Security Service of the FSB, General Andrei Gerasimov, who was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Safe Internet League, lost his post. The organization was created by the main sponsor of Crimea and Donbass and the owner of Tsargrad TV, founder of the Marshall Capital Partners investment fund Konstantin Malofeev (Tsargrad TV was the first to report that Mikhailov was the curator and patron of Shaltay Boltay, and his arrest was connected with the case of hackers). The League's Board of Trustees also includes Kaspersky Lab Managing Director Sergey Zamkov. Members of the League of Military Diplomats, created by retired Grushniki who were stuck in the Cold War and continuing to preach the Soviet ideology of those years, are often invited to Tsargrad TV as experts.

On May 21, it became known that the FSB had identified the creator of the Information Exchange, who was closely associated with Shaltay-Boltai — it turned out to be the former editor-in-chief of the Izhevsk Observer newspaper, Andrei Nekrasov, who received political asylum in Lithuania several years ago. In 2013, Nekrasov was put on the wanted list for extorting 2.5 million rubles from the management of the Kalashnikov concern for stopping negative publications. In 2015, at the request of the Russian Federation, he was detained in Cyprus, but then sent to Lithuania. Another accomplice of Nekrasov, the FSB calls Alexander Glazastikov (Boltai), who directly traded in compromising evidence (put on the wanted list).

The LRC correspondent met in London with a reputable hacker nicknamed Aurora. He did not deny that he was involved in many hacks of mailboxes of high-ranking officials and security officials from Russia. Aurora left St. Petersburg for the Czech Republic eight years ago and has no plans to return:

“I know almost everyone at Humpty Dumpty and Lewis too. As soon as he began to work under the roof of the FSB, he lost his sense of danger. I warned him about this several times, and he said that everything was fine and there was nothing to be afraid of. And Nekrasov generally appeared before arrests and not in business. He is only on the part of selling information and is not aware of all the technology. Now, in order for the FSB to report to Putin, everyone will be hanged on them (read the full interview with Aurora in the near future. - SDGs).

"V the place to successfully solve combat missions, we fight off the FSB »

A Defense Ministry spokesman declined to comment. On the other hand, the LRC correspondent met with a GRU officer who told how "the FSB is giving military intelligence a nightmare." Nikolai Zh. Got into the GRU directly from the fleet, having graduated from the Black Sea Military Medical University named after V.I. Nakhimova:

- The country's leadership is constantly whispered in the ear: "The GRU is preparing a military coup." At the same time, all responsibility for Syria and the fight against terrorism lies with us, - the sailor sips his coffee. - It turns out that instead of successfully solving combat missions, we are fighting off the FSB.

- So you have always been in contradiction with the state security ...

- There were no such setups before, but now it comes to betrayal. Take the situation with our guys, who were leaked to the Internet. Where has it been seen that theirs betray their own? And who advised these hackers from "Humpty Dumpty" to send letters to Shoigu and counterintelligence?

- Are you sure that the FSB officers leaked the GRU residency?

- Who else benefits from it? We had to answer for their tricks and setups and light up Humpty Dumpty.

- They also write about the underground financial empires of the GRU.

- Yes, what kind of empires are there, everyone has long been crushed by the Lubyanka guys or the majors from the FSO. They only know how to report correctly upstairs.

According to military experts, out of 7,000 officers who served in the GRU during the Soviet era, there are now less than 2,000 left in the structure. 10 combat brigades were disbanded, the GRU special forces were reassigned to the command of the Ground Forces, and almost all electronic reconnaissance units were eliminated. An interview with the veteran of military intelligence General Igor Parinov, who openly calls President Putin "the gravedigger of the GRU" and "the most successful project of Western intelligence services", is circulating on the Internet.

The Kremlin is particularly worried about the GRU spetsnaz fighters who have been laid off, who have been intensively trained for many years to organize military coups, liquidate unwanted politicians and sabotage.

Perhaps the most telling example is the multi-part epic of the former GRU Colonel Vladimir Kvachkov, who is serving a prison term in a colony. At first, the colonel was accused of attempted murder of Anatoly Chubais, but the jury acquitted him. Then Kvachkov was nevertheless convicted of preparing an armed rebellion. According to FSB investigators, the former GRU special forces soldier, together with his associates, planned to seize weapons in several military units in Kovrov and organize a campaign against Moscow.

Another crime story involving a retired grushman happened on August 5, 2015 in the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod: FSB operatives opened a private garage and found Kalashnikov assault rifles, assault rifles with telescopic sights, two machine guns, grenade launchers, ammunition and even a portable anti-aircraft system " Needle".

Soon the owner of the garage, the former colonel of the GRU Gennady Korotenko, who holds the position of a centurion in the Volga Cossack army, was detained. During a search at the centurion's, they found a PM pistol, from which in 2014, in Iksha near Moscow, they shot the co-founder of the Cypriot company Clinolina Holdings Limited (owns several enterprises for the production of chemical products and sanitary paper), 56-year-old Nikolai Martynov. According to the investigation, the businessman was ordered by his business partner Anton Erokhin and paid the ex-grushnik 1 million rubles for the murder. During interrogation, Korotenko said that the warehouse with weapons did not belong to him, but to some random acquaintance who had rented a garage.

Of course, no acquaintance was found, and the question for what purpose the arsenal was stored remained open.

Excerpt from the Military Diplomatic Academy

- Yes Yes. This is the real truth, ”Pierre interrupted hastily.
- From what? Natasha asked, looking attentively into Pierre's eyes.
- How why? - said Princess Marya. - One thought about what awaits there ...
Natasha, not listening to Princess Marya to the end, again looked inquiringly at Pierre.
“And because,” Pierre went on, “only that person who believes that there is a God governing us can bear such a loss as her and ... yours,” said Pierre.
Natasha opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly stopped. Pierre hastened to turn his back on her and turned again to Princess Marya with a question about the last days of his friend's life. Pierre's embarrassment was now almost gone; but at the same time he felt that all his former freedom had disappeared. He felt that over his every word, action now there is a judge, a judgment, which is dearer to him than the judgment of all people in the world. He was speaking now and, together with his words, understood the impression which his words made on Natasha. He did not deliberately say what might please her; but no matter what he said, he judged himself from her point of view.
Princess Marya reluctantly, as always happens, began to talk about the situation in which she found Prince Andrew. But Pierre's questions, his lively anxious look, his face trembling with emotion, little by little forced her to go into details that she was afraid to renew in her imagination for herself.
- Yes, yes, so, so ... - said Pierre, bending forward with his whole body over Princess Marya and eagerly listening to her story. - Yes Yes; so he calmed down? relented? He was always looking for one with all the forces of his soul; to be quite good that he could not be afraid of death. The flaws that were in him - if they were - did not come from him. So he relented? - said Pierre. “What happiness he has met with you,” he said to Natasha, suddenly turning to her and looking at her with eyes full of tears.
Natasha's face shuddered. She frowned and dropped her eyes for a moment. For a minute she hesitated: to speak or not to speak?
- Yes, it was happiness, - she said in a low chest voice, - for me it was probably happiness. She paused. - And he ... he ... he said that he wanted this, the minute I came to him ... - Natasha's voice broke off. She blushed, clasped her hands on her knees and suddenly, apparently making an effort above herself, raised her head and quickly began to speak:
- We did not know anything when we were driving from Moscow. I didn't dare ask about him. And suddenly Sonya told me that he was with us. I didn’t think anything, I couldn’t imagine what position he was in; I only needed to see him, to be with him, ”she said, trembling and panting. And, not allowing herself to be interrupted, she told what she had never told anyone before: everything that she had experienced in those three weeks of their journey and life in Yaroslavl.
Pierre listened to her with his mouth open and without taking his eyes from her, full of tears. Listening to her, he thought neither about Prince Andrei, nor about death, nor about what she was telling. He listened to her and only felt sorry for her for the suffering that she was now experiencing, telling.
The princess, wrinkled from the desire to hold back her tears, sat beside Natasha and listened for the first time to the story of these last days of her brother's love with Natasha.
This painful and joyful story, apparently, was necessary for Natasha.
She spoke, mixing the smallest details with the most intimate secrets, and, it seemed, could never finish. She repeated the same several times.
Desal's voice was heard outside the door, asking if Nikolushka could come in to say goodbye.
- Yes, that's all, that's all ... - said Natasha. She quickly got up, while Nikolushka entered, and almost ran to the door, banged her head on the door covered with a curtain, and with a groan of either pain or sadness, burst out of the room.
Pierre looked at the door through which she had gone, and did not understand why he suddenly remained alone in the whole world.
Princess Marya summoned him out of absent-mindedness, drawing his attention to her nephew, who entered the room.
Nikolushka's face, similar to his father, at the moment of mental softening in which Pierre was now, had such an effect on him that, having kissed Nikolushka, he hurriedly got up and, taking out his handkerchief, went to the window. He wanted to say goodbye to Princess Marya, but she held him back.
- No, Natasha and I do not sleep sometimes until the third hour; please sit down. I will tell you to give supper. Go down; we will come now.
Before Pierre left, the princess said to him:
- This is the first time she spoke about him like that.

Pierre was ushered into a large lighted dining room; in a few minutes footsteps were heard, and the princess and Natasha entered the room. Natasha was calm, although a stern, without a smile, the expression was now again established on her face. Princess Marya, Natasha, and Pierre alike experienced that feeling of awkwardness which usually follows a terminated serious and intimate conversation. It is impossible to continue the previous conversation; talking about trifles is ashamed, but being silent is unpleasant, because you want to talk, and with this silence you seem to pretend. They walked silently to the table. The waiters pushed and pushed back chairs. Pierre unfolded the cold napkin and, deciding to break the silence, glanced at Natasha and Princess Marya. Both, obviously, at the same time decided on the same thing: in both their eyes the satisfaction of life shone and the recognition that, in addition to grief, there is also joy.
- Do you drink vodka, Count? - said Princess Marya, and these words suddenly dispersed the shadows of the past.
“Tell us about yourself,” said Princess Marya. - Such incredible miracles are told about you.
“Yes,” Pierre answered with his now familiar smile of gentle mockery. - I myself am even told about such miracles, which I have never seen in a dream. Marya Abramovna invited me to her place and kept telling me what happened to me, or was about to happen. Stepan Stepanitch also taught me how to tell me. In general, I noticed that it is very calm to be an interesting person (I am an interesting person now); my name is and they tell me.
Natasha smiled and wanted to say something.

Oktyabrskoe Pole is a unique place, you will see. We stopped at Shokoladnitsa. And now let's cross the street of the People's Militia. There are beautiful buildings here - like a museum. In fact, this is military unit 22177.

Previously, the Oktyabrskoye field was called a military field, it was part of the Khodynka. And until now, the military orientation of this place is very strong.

Military unit 22177 is the Military-Diplomatic Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces. And of course, there are no signs or signs here) This is the best military educational institution in the country.The Academy was formed on the basis of the Higher Diplomatic School (where the grandfather entered (not native, I will not load you with tangled family ties), the Higher Intelligence School, the Institute of Oriental Cultures(where my grandmother studied in Japanese)and a number of other military and civilian higher educational institutions.

During the Great Patriotic War, the Oriental faculty of the Academy, in addition to Japanese and Chinese, also had Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Hindu and Afghan departments. Western Faculty, in addition to English, German and French, also Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Dutch, Italian departments. There was also a naval faculty, which had departments of almost all the powers washed by the seas and oceans.

Until now, the military diplomatic academy is only accepted for a second education, and before that, they have been collecting information about a person for a year or two ... In practice, he turns to "Agent-operational intelligence", and if necessary, he understands something about "operational-tactical intelligence" - and these, however, are three different faculties. The building has three different buildings - the central one, and, as it were, two wings.

After work, when he and his grandmother were already lit wherever possible and where not (they mainly worked in the east, Teherans and all sorts of Indies), my grandfather taught at this university, and they were given an apartment, respectively, on the October field. Grandmother could not get enough of it, she said that she remembered everything, how in the training camp they secretly passed her over the fence to feed her baby daughter ..

Here is the central building, I wonder, he has such a monument - a globe ... How overgrown everything. Are there flowers there by May 9?)

Still, a soap dish is better than nothing. See, there are bouquets in cellophane. Well, thank God ... I really wanted to congratulate on the Victory - the invisible front is sometimes more important than the real one. Lord, rest their souls!

We walk a little - and now, in a 2-minute walk from the metro, in the rotunda, there is the Primavera restaurant, that is, spring. It used to be a shop, always half-empty - "Meat - Fish". Here begins the most beautiful, in my opinion, residential area in Moscow. It is located between the streets of Marshals Biryuzov, Sokolovsky, Konev and Meretskov and was built on the site of potato fields by German prisoners of war for Soviet officers who returned from the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. People call it that - "German settlement", although it was built according to the project of Dmitry Chechulin, he was the chief architect of Moscow from 45 to 49 years. His signature is on the projects of all these houses, although they were developed mainly by his friend Mikhail Kupovsky.

The quarter consists of three courtyards, each with its own fountain in the center. And they work today)

The place immediately captivates with humanity and freedom. And from the fountains - do not take your eyes off.

This one seems to be scattering diamonds in the sun ...

The houses are connected by arches, which have all been restored and the quarter has been completed. It's like in a manor, in a classic Russian manor of the 18th century!

All the details were chosen authentically, the balconies are very stylish.

I remember in what drips, potholes and ruins it all was 10 years ago ...

What a blessing that everyone kept it.

And more recently Donstroy was going to demolish everything here and build elite housing, and a lot ... Over there, behind bars, a monster is still clattering his teeth.

True, the front entrances are still closed, according to Bulgakov)

And everyone just got used to walking through the back door)

Austere and graceful houses conquer with proportionality. But not without a twist. Inside, in these curves, there are stairs.

In every house, in contrast to modern typical buildings, in addition to the main entrance, there is also a black one.

There is a world here, understandable and convenient for everyone.

The fencing grilles are a little rusted, and some parts are missing - but they are native, they are being patched up diligently.

And here is the second fountain - and the second courtyard. All the time there are residents at the fountain, most often mothers with strollers.

Or older children. It's generally good to sit here. Ever nervous Moscow is bustling around the corner, but here it is quiet and calm ...

And the sound of the water is soothing. And you can dip your hand and check - was the water wetter before?

And beautiful.

And here is the third courtyard - it is similar to the previous ones, only the fountain is different, striving towards the sun.

A rainbow lives here) And, it seems, this clear water from the past.

And the sun is very favorable to him - you can see how it strokes with rays)

How cozy it is here. And in the houses - seventy-centimeter walls protect the inhabitants of the apartments from the noise of neighbors, and the three-meter ceilings create a feeling of spaciousness)

And the barbecues are hidden here like this, military-diplomatically))).

It's hard to get out of here, but we still have a lot to see. We leave on Biryuzov Street, of course, Marshal).

Here, neat houses from the 1950s are modestly decorated with stucco moldings under the roof and a frieze above the third floor.

The yellow-red coloring is gone, and the streets look simple and noble.

Well, sometimes, of course, it happens ... This is a school)

Here the panel is already visible. We went in the wrong place)

Here is another house - it is from the early 50s.

By the time the well-known law "On architectural excesses" was adopted in 1955, he had already been built, he was lucky - he had a completely assembled belt

and it is provided with an insane amount of balconies thatsupports stucco... A lot of ready-made concrete elements of decor were stamped then, they were spent even after the decree of 1955 - it was necessary to put it somewhere. A large front entrance in such houses was provided for various public and domestic services. They are still in place - nothing has changed since then.

I didn’t know that a square had been organized here, and a plank was put up for Biryuzov.

And here - fountains, nice ...

And one cannot pass by this giant, one cannot bypass it, but it seems that festive music is heard from there.

The music turned out to be lively and very soulful.

Surprisingly, they played this! On the pipes it is even more piercing ...



Listen or download "Heart, be silent" song from the movie "On" for free on Pleer
And much more..

And there is also a field kitchen,

and soldier's porridge is popular.

The people at the store are in order, and I am glad that the majority are listening, and not eating free porridge and ice cream ...

The musicians tried their best, although they played almost from the sight)))

Some of them urgently needed to load their weapons while listening to such battle music)

But this granny, on the left, who kept asking to play "little blue modest handkerchief".

And when they played, she cried.

In fact, the concert turned out to be very touching, even though it was near the shopping center ...

And you don't have to look into the shopping center itself - it is not festive at all, and black crosses are everywhere.

And here is the institute and the monument to Kurchatov.

According to the family legend, the grandfather promised to dig up Kurchatov at least up to his shoulders, if everything did not work out.

For work on the creation of a nuclear bomb, Laboratory No. 2 of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was founded in 1943, headed by the famous Soviet physicist Igor Vasilyevich Kurchatov. One of the stages of the Laboratory's work was the construction and launch of the first nuclear reactor F-1 in the USSR and Europe: a special site was equipped for it in Moscow, on the basis of which the huge Kurchatov Institute later grew.

For the scientists of the Laboratory, beautiful houses were built overlooking the square. This is where Sakharov lived for some time. Well, the research was completed successfully: the reactor was launched on December 25, 1946, and the first Soviet atomic bomb RDS-1 was tested on August 29, 1949.

Later, a whole district arose here. Here is another school based on the same old project, and the same 4 classics on the facade.

The buildings here are also Stalinist. A beautiful and unusual house.

Amazingly decorated,

and stretches for a whole block.

And this is generally a masterpiece. "Academgorodok of Laboratory No. 2 of the USSR Academy of Sciences". At first, there were three houses in this campus. But what kind!

Here is the first one. Building 3 on Marshal Novikov Street - the marshals are still going on, and even this kind of science without them - nowhere ..

They were clearly too clever with the decor, but that's why they were academics, maybe the marshals helped. You can't think of such bells and whistles quickly, it takes time and helpers)))

And in the yard there is a real forest. No, you don’t understand - not a square, not a park, not a forest or grove, but a real forest ..

One that was never cut down. So in the morning you leave the entrance in Moscow - and you are already in the forest. Doesn't fit in my head! And here andthe resinous smell of pine needles, and the hubbub of birds, and kebabs ... But we will not communicate with them, although we invite)

Let's talk better with an academic squirrel ... a beauty, and poses, and seduces with a bump)

After all, we’ll leave the forest again to these extraordinary academic houses - we almost did not consider them. These "bells and whistles on the gate" are especially striking. What the author wanted to say by this is clearly an academic problem.

And the entrances are restrainedly simple, and the frames are made of noble baguette. And everywhere - flowers.

For some reason, the fountain does not work, but it is beautiful as it is.

And there is also a museum. It's a pity, only by appointment ... But who knew)

In the windows of the museum there are posters of local themes.

And the spring forest draws to itself ... Just like in Protvino.

But it's time to go home. Let's go back to the Oktyabrskoe Pole metro station. It's nice to take another look at the Chechulin fountain.

Threaten the looming over all and all Donstroy.

And catch a farewell ray at the subway.

Goodbye, October field)))
