Subversive spy network. British “soft power” exposed in Russia

In March 2018, the Russian authorities decided to terminate the activities of the murky, supposedly cultural and educational organization “British Council” in our country. One of the reasons for his expulsion was the direct involvement of the British intelligence service SIS/MI6 in its work in Russia.

As soon as all the offices of the “British Council” in 15 Russian cities were slammed, more and more information began to emerge confirming that, under the roof of the organization, British intelligence had built its own cublo, which had trained many agents of influence in Russia.

Actually, the very appearance of the “British Council” in Russia is a reason for conducting a special investigation, since none of the officials ever issued permission for this organization to work in our country, nevertheless, it worked for a long time and, not very hidden, carried out subversive activity.

Let us emphasize: the activities of the British Council in Russia from the very beginning were an initiative of the British Foreign Office and were not sanctioned by the Russian authorities.

Despite the fact that the British authorities refused to give the green light to the opening of the Russian Center for Science and Culture in London, whose functions correspond to the officially declared functions of the British Council.

According to Russian senator and SVR veteran Igor Morozov, the authorities tried for a long time to build constructive relations with representatives of the British Council, but never achieved reciprocity, as a result of which the organization was shown the door under the pretext of “unsettled status.”

_{The situation is quite strange, since at the very beginning of the activities of the “British Council” in Russia, the legendary Yuri Ivanovich Drozdov, former head of Directorate “S” of the PGU (illegal intelligence) of the KGB of the USSR, major general, warned the authorities and the public that the organization provides “protection” ” to British intelligence agents, but no one paid attention to these warnings for a long time.}

Meanwhile, former employees of the Council, acting on behalf of the British Foreign Office, openly reported that little men whose names were published in the “Tomlinson list” containing the names of British intelligence agents SIS/MI6 took part in the activities of the office.

Let's hope that the activities of this organization in the Russian Federation will be given a legal assessment, and in the meantime, the Underside Internet portal, specializing in exposing the activities of the British intelligence services, has published new evidence of their interference in the internal affairs of Russia - in particular, in the preparation coup d'etat.

“The Upside Down” has been engaged in such investigations for quite some time. Its activists collect and post on their website evidence of the Council’s subversive activities. For example, on their web page you can find the names, surnames, logins, passwords and details of the anti-Russian activities of the editors-in-chief of Russian online publications, who work closely with the British spy ring.

Investigators are reasonably convinced that, together with the Zinc Network and other structures, the Council collected information ostensibly for the Foreign Office, but in reality for the main British intelligence service. Members of the Council, taking advantage of permissiveness, recruited agents and disseminated Russophobic ideas to prepare a change of power in Russia.

The British Council itself was a rather murky organization - a hybrid of a government structure with obvious signs of an NGO, which was engaged in promoting “soft power” in Russian society, trying to achieve the desired results without coercion - on the basis of bribery, arousing sympathy and voluntary participation.

The Council supported the Chevening scholarship program and the UK-Russia University Alliance program, in which the head of the Association of British Universities Vivien Stern and the executive director of the British Council Scott McDonald, as well as the president of the Russian Union of Rectors and the rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy, participated.

_{As planned, inclusive programs provided for beneficial cooperation between Russians and the British, but, as investigators from the “Inside Out” write, the documents signed by representatives of the Russian side spelled out strict requirements for participants, and the information received was sent directly to the British Foreign Office, which should be regarded as interference in the internal affairs of the country.}

Among other things, the British Council, together with the Thomson Reuters Foundation and the Bellingcat fake factory (recognized as a foreign agent in Russia), is part of an “anti-Russian consortium” coordinated by the Zinc Network. The coordinator, in turn, was engaged in provoking “swamp” activity in Russia.

And this is not the first time - the British Council has been repeatedly accused of aiding the subversive Foundation for Conflict Prevention, Stability and Security, which wreaked havoc in Egypt, Lebanon and the countries of the Balkan region.

“The Upside Down” also refers to publicly available documents from the hacker group Anonymous, which talk about the activities of the “British Council” as a leader in MI6’s anti-Russian operations.

Members of the Council, themselves career intelligence officers and specialists in subversive operations, carried out planning to discredit local authorities and “blur the Russian identity.”

We remind you: the shaggy tentacles of the “British Council” – SIS – MI6 covered 15 of the largest cities in Russia.

_{All steps to change power were disguised as round dances and weaving wreaths cultural and educational programs and events, but in fact, the agents of the Englishwoman pushed their destructive ideas through certain layers into Russian society.}

One can only be surprised at the passivity of our powers that be and the absence of plans among our special services similar to those developed by the “James Bonds” on our territory: “Freedom for Scotland”, “United Ireland”, “Free Gibraltar”, “Return of the Malvinas Islands to their native harbor” and so on.

The new “Great Game” is in full swing, and there are no honorable second places in it.
