Spyware The loudest Russian espionage scandal in the United States looks the most unconvincing and most unnecessary FBI agents are trying to prove that they took the track of Russian spies In Russian-American relations there was a scandal. The FBI arrested 11 people on charges of spying for Russia. The secret service is confident that they are all conspiracy officers of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. Meanwhile, Kommersant’s US Department of Justice yesterday, in fact, refuted the counterintelligence version, saying that they “have no reason to believe that any of the suspects received or transmitted secret information.” But Russian and American experts are confident that in this case, the departmental interests of the FBI prevailed over the state. The reaction to the scandal of political circles of both countries testifies: neither the Kremlin nor the White House want this scandal to turn into a big quarrel. The US Justice Ministry announced the detention of 11 people on charges of espionage in favor of the Russian Federation on Monday (in Moscow it was already after midnight). The FBI carried out their arrests in several American cities at once last Sunday - two days after the completion of the visit of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to the United States. In the documents submitted to the court the very next day, the names of the majority of the accused are enclosed in quotation marks, since, according to the FBI, they all used false passports, trying to "legalize on the instructions of the Foreign Intelligence Service in the United States." Anna Chapman, Vicki Pelaez and Juan Lazaro were arrested in New York. Richard and Cynthia Murphy - in the town of Montclair in the state of New Jersey. Michael Zottoli, Patricia Mills and Mikhail Semenko are in the Washington suburb of Arlington, where Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama have recently enjoyed burgers. Donald Howard Hisfield and Tracy Lee Ann Foley were arrested in their Cambridge apartment near Boston. Finally, another accused, Christopher Metsos, was detained in Cyprus, but immediately released on bail pending a court decision. In addition to Anna Chapman, Mikhail Semenko and Christopher Metsos, in all other cases, charges were brought against married couples. They are suspected of "conspiring to act as agents of a foreign government." Everyone except Murphy’s spouse has been charged with “conspiracy to launder money,” which faces a sentence of up to 20 years. According to FBI documents handed over to the court, all the defendants were instructed to "be extremely Americanized" in order to gain access to documents from the US administration, as well as "establish contacts with planning and political decision-making centers." The suspects have been monitored since 2000, and during this time counterintelligence officers have collected several hundred volumes that make up the criminal case. According to US intelligence, Russian foreign intelligence was interested in a wide range of issues - from the US position on disarmament negotiations to Iran’s nuclear program and rumors of a change in the head of the CIA. "Try to find out the views of the American delegation and the goals that Obama sets for himself during the summit in July, and what arguments his team intends to use in order to persuade Russia to cooperate in the interests of the United States," one of the messages received agents on the eve of last year’s visit of the US president to Moscow. According to the FBI, all those arrested underwent an intensive training course, including teaching foreign languages, developing communication methods, methods of avoiding outdoor surveillance, using ciphers, invisible ink and hiding places. A group detained in a district of New York, according to counterintelligence, sometimes used the "Morse code." Everyone else preferred a more modern technique: secret codes were recorded in computer images and openly posted on public Internet sites or sent by e-mail. On the computers seized in the house of Donald Hisfield, FBI agents found reports on the expenses of exposed agents: "Received from the Center $ 64,500. Revenue $ 13,940. Costs: rent $ 8500, utilities $ 142, phone $ 160, car lease payments $ 2180, gasoline $ 820, education $ 3600, expenses in France $ 1000, medical services $ 139, $ 700 spent on lawyers, $ 1230 on food and gifts, $ 460 on email and computer supplies, $ 4900 on business, $ 1125 meeting trip (so in the original. - “Kommersant”) " As follows from the documents of the prosecution, the "Center" more than once reminded illegal immigrants about the reason for which they were sent abroad. “You were sent to the United States on a long business trip,” the encrypted message says. “Your education, bank accounts, a car, a house - all this exists for one purpose: to fulfill the main task. Find and establish contacts in political circles and report about it to the Center. " From the materials prepared by the FBI, one can judge when the accused attracted the attention of special services. The surveillance of Anna Chapman, for example, was established only six months ago. From January to June 2010, external observation recorded at least ten cases of information exchange between her and the person appearing in the investigation documents as "an employee of Russian government structures No. 1". The FBI believes that he is the third secretary of the Russian mission to the UN. True, who exactly kept in touch with agents is not specified, but meanwhile, a dozen people are the third secretaries in the Russian representation at the UN. Data was transmitted using a computer: in all cases, Chapman entered the cafe, turned on the laptop, and after a while a minibus with numbers of the Russian diplomatic mission passed by. According to the FBI, a special module was installed in the computers of all suspects, which allows you to quickly establish communication over the local network. Agent curators provided them with money in person. So, on June 6, 2009, surveillance cameras at the North White Planes railway station recorded a meeting between Murphy and a man named in the documents "an employee of Russian government structures No. 3". They met on the stairs, the agent opened his backpack for a second, and a passing one cleverly shoved a heavy plastic bag into it. A few months later, Murphy transferred part of the received money to Zottoli. As follows from the intercepted by the FBI radiogram, the parties had to exchange the following phrases: "Excuse me, but we did not meet in Bangkok last April?" “I don’t know about April, but I was in Thailand in May of that year.” At least two of the suspects, as follows from the materials of the case, were detained after the FBI agents, who introduced themselves as employees of the Russian Embassy, came into contact with them - the spies made contact and even agreed to leave the required information in a cache, the location of which was indicated by the FBI agents . Meanwhile, behind all the detective stories colorfully described by the FBI, the main thing remains unclear - did the suspects manage to inflict any serious damage on the US security. Unlike the vast majority of Russian spy scandals of the past 15 years (see the reference), in this case, the FBI documents mention only a few episodes that can be considered with a stretch worthy of attention. Among them were the transfer in the fall of 2009 of Cynthia Murphy of information on the situation in the world gold market, Lazaro’s contacts with an unnamed influential New York financier and the meeting of one of the suspects with a "scientist related to the development of bombs designed to destroy bunkers." However, on Monday, federal judges in New York, Virginia and Massachusetts refused to release the suspects on bail. Their fate will be determined by the court, which will begin in the Southern District of New York on July 1. However, the FBI version of the exposure of the spy network has actually been denied by the US Justice Department. His representative, Dean Boyd, told Kommersant that “the court did not charge with espionage because this term refers to an attempt to transfer classified materials to a third party or state, and we had no reason to believe that any of the suspects received or transmitted secret information. " Thus, the effect of the high-profile espionage scandal almost immediately turned out to be blurred by the nature of the charges against the detainees. This is also noted by experts pointing to the interdepartmental interests of US intelligence. “It’s obvious to me that operational considerations at the FBI got the better of thinking about the fate of the Russian-American reset,” Harvey Claire, professor at Emory University, author of Spies: The Rise and Rise of the KGB in America, told Kommersant. The head of the Carnegie Moscow Center, Dmitry Trenin, believes that several groups could provoke the scandal. Firstly, "those American politicians who believe that Barack Obama has come too close to the Russians and acts in their favor." And secondly, the special services themselves, which, after a series of major failures, which eventually led to the resignation of the head of the national intelligence service Dennis Blair last month, decided to demonstrate official zeal. "After the terrorist attack on Times Square, the FBI must prove its worth," Mr Trenin told Kommersant. He considered the accusations against the detainees not too convincing: “If there had been real crime or espionage, they would have been immediately voiced. But the FBI has been following this group for many years, and did not present evidence of espionage. What we heard is as if a person arrested on murder charges would end up being tried for parking in the wrong place. " It is noteworthy that both Russian and American officials are extremely restrained in commenting on the incident. "They didn’t explain what we were talking about. I hope they will explain. The moment when this was done was chosen with special grace," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who was in Jerusalem yesterday. And in the late afternoon, Foreign Ministry spokesman Igor Lyakin-Frolov confirmed that the detainees were Russian citizens who at different times found themselves in the United States, and that they had not committed any actions against the interests of the United States. At the same time, Moscow was not immediately inclined to see the secret intrigues of the White House behind the scandal. "The degree of confidence in the relations that have been established between Obama and Medvedev is such that if the US president knew about the upcoming operation during the visit of his Russian counterpart, he would have informed him," a senior Kommersant source in the diplomatic circles of the Russian Federation assured. - And if he didn’t do it - that means he learned about the operation at the last moment. " Such a restrained reaction suggests that Moscow would like to hush up the scandal as soon as possible. This was confirmed by the interlocutor of Kommersant, who admitted that "all eloquent speakers were given an unspoken directive - not to comment on the incident." And, apparently, it is being faithfully executed. In any case, presidential aide Sergei Prikhodko, presidential spokesman Natalya Timakova and even the head of the State Duma’s foreign affairs committee, Konstantin Kosachev, flatly refused to comment on Kommersant’s spy scandal. The American side did likewise. Yesterday, at the request of journalists to speak on this subject, Barack Obama succinctly answered: "Thank you." It was not possible to get a more detailed answer from the US president. And only US Under Secretary of State Philip Gordon said: we are committed to continuing the development of relations with Russia and suggest that we consider espionage scandal in this context.

Who are the special services against? Vladimir Lukin, Commissioner for Human Rights, in 1992-1993, Russia's Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to the United States: - Everyone serves his own. These are ordinary things, when I was an ambassador, such stories also happened. There is no direct connection between Medvedev’s visit and this scandal. Here the domestic political struggle in the USA is not ruled out. In any case, this scandal will not affect relations between our countries. Relations spoil only when countries want to spoil relations and are looking for an excuse. Now the situation is different. Vitaly Margelov, in 1997-2003, Deputy Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation: - Against a reboot in our relations. It has just begun, and the secret services need to do something to spoil the effect. Someone really does not like Obama's course, here hawks and muddy the water. Russia needs to be very calm about this. Moreover, the Americans are weaving traits in this matter - some illegal immigrants, money laundering. What collection of information from the White House can we talk about? What is there to collect? It’s funny. The conflict must be resolved at the political level, without interfering with the special services. Mikhail Lyubimov, writer, former officer of PSU KGB: - Not against, but on himself. The American special services have not caught spies for a long time, but intelligence must be reminded of itself in order to receive financing. In addition, intelligence agencies often act against the will of the president. US intelligence agencies have always been closer to the Republicans, and Obama from another camp. Russia does not need to respond to this scandal. When the documents are presented, and this is unlikely to happen, since the Americans still haven’t slaughtered anything and only talk about money laundering, then you can react. Ariel Cohen, Leading Expert of the Heritage Foundation (Washington): - Against an illegal network of people whom counterintelligence considers agents. The arrests were most likely delayed until Medvedev left. The investigation was ongoing in 2004-2005, and it was thoroughly conducted. Judging by the published information, the collection of materials was strange. The alleged scouts were not in high positions and did not learn anything particularly valuable. And why did it take years to spend money on collecting information that could be taken from newspapers? It all looks like a bad parody of a 1970s Le Carré novel. This story will negatively affect Russian-American relations. Medvedev and Obama triumphed in rebooting by eating chips from the same plate. But Obama could not have known that a revelation was being prepared, and Medvedev knew that the spy network was working. Dmitry Rogozin, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to NATO: - This is a blow to the American president. A month ago, I was in the USA and I felt an extremely keen attitude of the establishment towards the president. The USA cannot solve its terrible problems - oil spill, crisis, scandals on the stock exchange. Obama has real breakthroughs in foreign policy, apparently, not everyone likes it. Therefore, the scandal is a consequence of the internal struggle. No wonder it arose when the dust from the Russian side N 1 on the runway had not settled yet. Viktor Komplektov, in 1991-1992, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the USSR to the United States: - One thing is clear - there are people in America who want to harm us. This is an unpleasant story, because the incident was greatly inflated, the Americans had the opportunity to hush everything up, but they went on aggravation. I do not presume to judge whether this will affect relations between our countries, while there are too many ambiguities. [DLMURL] https://www.kommersant.ru/ [/ DLMURL]

The West accused Russia of unleashing a cyber war Russia has a reputation as the number two threat to the Network. This reputation is maintained in itself: the “Russian trace” is found even in those cybercrimes where it does not exist. Less attention is being paid to hackers and hackers - loners, more and more - to the cyber war being waged (according to Western media) by Russia. The Russian hacker is a stereotypical character, a defendant in Western editorials and films. At the disposal of the Ruformer was a Powerscourt study that examined how Russia is portrayed in foreign media in connection with various cyber conflicts and cybercrimes. Powerscourt conditionally divided publications about cyber conflicts involving Russia and Russians into two directions. The first - geopolitical - is associated with attacks on various sites made "in the interests of Russia" - for example, with DDOS attacks on Georgian or Estonian sites. The second is connected with the “successes” of individual hackers - for example, Vasily Gorshkov and Alexei Ivanov (2000). The latest examples of such “successes” include Citibank hacking and theft of 1.5 million Facebook accounts. Dynamics of publications on geopolitical cyber crimes and main geopolitical topics (illustration from the study) As you can see, the main driver of the opinion of the Western public about Russia as a breeding ground for cyber crime is verbal confrontation with the West and the countries of the former USSR, which has become part of the rhetoric of the former president. Against the backdrop of the political struggle, many Western media, including the leading ones, published articles in which individual representatives of Russia were accused of attacks on the websites of Georgia, Estonia, and Ukraine. This was partly facilitated by the fact that members of some socio-political organizations did not deny their involvement in this cyber war. By the end of the first decade of the century, “cyber warfare” on the part of Russia overshadowed the importance of the threat on the part of Russian hackers. Changes in the content of publications on Russia The percentage of publications on cybercrime on the part of Russia of the total number of articles that spoke about computer crimes and threats has changed over the past decade, but it has not been possible to identify any unidirectional trends in these changes. We can note fluctuations in this share from year to year. Change in the share of publications about Russian hackers Change in the absolute number of publications about Russian hackers (illustration from the study) Since the trend cannot be distinguished from the change in the share, and the absolute number of publications grew, it can be argued that this increase is associated either with an increase in the total number of cybercrimes maintaining a relative level of cybercrime in Russia, or with an increase in media interest in this topic. Russia lost the title of chief cyber enemy of the West in 2007, losing the palm to China. China is the main source of threats The increase in the number of references to Russia in materials about cybercrime is associated with several phenomena. First, the West drew attention to Russian spammers, who until recently were invisible in the scale of general spam on the Web. One of the most famous Russian spammers is Glavmed, a partner pharmaceutical company. Secondly, US President Barack Obama drew attention to cybersecurity - this could cause a sharp increase in the number of publications, for which there was no real change in the situation. Thirdly, its reputation begins to play against Russia. Long dividing the first and second place according to the attention of Western media with Chinese colleagues, domestic hackers earned a certain reputation. Now, even when there is no direct evidence of Russian participation, it is still suspected. For example, the “climategate” (the scandal with the opening of the correspondence of “scientists” involved in global warming) has no evidence of any connection with Russia or China. However, the media immediately found traces of both states: the Huffington Post chose to blame China, Times Online - Russia. In general, we can say that over the past decade, Russia's reputation in terms of cybercrime has not deteriorated. However, unfortunately, it stabilized - and stabilized in not too good condition. However, “enemy number 1” was obviously China. The position of “enemy number 2,” however, is not much better.

Americans found a Russian spy in the Microsoft office

Americans found Russian spy in Microsoft office

On Tuesday, July 13, American authorities decided to deport a Russian citizen, 23-year-old Alexei Karetnikov. The reason for the Ministry of National Security called a violation of immigration law. Karetnikov agreed to leave the country voluntarily under the threat of prosecution.

According to representatives of federal authorities, Karetnikov has lived near Seattle since he arrived in the United States in October 2009. He was found at the address in Redmond, a city known primarily for the headquarters of one of the leading software manufacturers, Microsoft Corporation. As it turned out, Karetnikov worked at Microsoft at the starting position of a software tester for less than a year. The head office of the company did not provide additional information and did not report what was its responsibility.

The current employer of Karetnikov, in addition to Microsoft, is the Romanian IT company Neobit, in which he holds the position of senior developer. At Microsoft, Karetnikov works in the SDET position. In 2004, he graduated from Physics and Mathematics School No. 30, and in 2009, from St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University.

The Russian representative office of Microsoft confirmed that Karetnikov worked at the company in Redmond as a software tester at the starting position for 9 months. “Karetnikov has nothing to do with Microsoft in Russia. He has never been an employee of the Russian office of Microsoft. And we do not search for the company's European or American offices,” added a Microsoft representative in Russia.

Despite the fact that the official reason for the deportation was a violation of immigration law, the Wall Street Journal had previously published an article stating that the FBI was investigating the circumstances of a certain 23-year-old Russian citizen in the United States who was not named. His visa was canceled on June 26.

It is assumed that Karetnikov is the twelfth Russian spy in addition to the ten who have already been detained in the United States, and one who worked in Cyprus. No charges were brought against espionage against the Russian citizen, since the investigation does not have evidence of his involvement in illegal activities.

Recall spy scandal erupted in late June, when ten people were detained in the United States on suspicion. Initially, the word "espionage" did not appear in the investigation documents, but the media and official authorities immediately dubbed the scandal spyware, and detainees - spies. Russia and the United States seemed to put an end to the “espionage” scandal last Friday, exchanging four Russians convicted of espionage and pardoned by President Dmitry Medvedev for ten Russian citizens.

KGB-Agent?

Das US-FBI verdächtigte Bobby Fisher und seine Mutter, für den sowjetischen Geheimdienst zu arbeiten

Kürzlich freigegebene neue Dokumente aus dem sogenannten "Fisher-Dossier". Sie bestätigen die sensationellen Informationen, die erstmals von der amerikanischen Zeitung Philadelphia Incuirer veröffentlicht wurden. Aus den zahlreichen Berichten der Agenten folgt: Während eines Besuchs in der UdSSR im Jahr 1958 konnte Fisher, wie das FBI glaubte, vom KGB rekrutiert werden. Dies, wie im Archivdokument angegeben: "wurde von seiner Mutter Regina Fisher gefördert, die viele Jahre für die Lubjanka arbeitete."
Der pensionierte Oberst Semen Moiseevich Lazarev hatte seine Bekanntschaft mit der Mutter des berühmten Schachgenies sorgfältig verschwiegen. Und bei allen Anfragen des AN-Kolumnisten, Erinnerungen an die Details von Reginas Rekrutierung auszutauschen, scherzte er nur:
- Wie viele Jahre zu teilen: fünfzehn oder ein Viertel?
Nachdem er jedoch aus dem FBI-Archiv, das der Familie Fisher gewidmet war, von der Freigabe von 750 Seiten erfahren hatte, beschloss er, etwas zu erzählen.
Jäger der Geheimnisse
Laut dem alten Oberst (Semyon Moiseevich weit nach achtzig) war Regina Vender ein einzigartiges Mädchen. Sie konnte 8 Sprachen. Für Intelligenz - ein wahrer Schatz! Ihr Sohn Bobby erbte herausragende sprachliche Fähigkeiten von seiner Mutter und lernte 5 Sprachen.
"Warum war Robert Fisher so schlau?" - Semyon Moiseevich fragte gern mehr, aber diesmal antwortete er selbst: - Elterngene.
Nach freigegebenen Daten des FBI war Bobbys Vater nicht Hans-Gerhard Fischer, ein deutscher Biophysiker, den Regina 1933 in Moskau heiratete (sie ließen sich 1945 scheiden), und sein Freund, ein Mathematiklehrer aus Ungarn, Paul Nemeni. Übrigens der zukünftige Nobelpreisträger und einer der Teilnehmer an der Schaffung der Atombombe. War es auf Anweisung des sowjetischen Geheimdienstes Regina, dass sie eine Romanze mit einem geheimen Mathematiker aus dem Manhattan-Projekt begann?
Oberst Lazarev weigerte sich, diese Frage zu beantworten, und bezog sich auf ein Abonnement zur Geheimhaltung von Staatsgeheimnissen. Und über das FBI sagte:
- Niemand hielt eine Kerze. Aber Juden haben Recht, wenn sie ihre Nationalität durch die Mutter bestimmen. Vater ist immer zweifelhaft.
Anscheinend war Regina kein regulärer sowjetischer Geheimdienstoffizier. Sie absolvierte in der UdSSR nicht eine Geheimdienstschule, sondern das 1. Moskauer Medizinische Institut. Oberst Lazarev weist das FBI zurück und behauptet, sie sei kein Geheimdienstmitarbeiter gewesen. Zumindest habe ich kein Geld von Lubyanka bekommen. Vielleicht hat die UdSSR aus ideologischen Gründen geholfen. So taten es damals viele.
Regina lebte sehr schlecht. Das FBI-Archiv hat einen Brief aus dem Jahr 1952 (Bobby war damals 9 Jahre alt), in dem sie sich bei ihrer Freundin beschwert, dass sie kein Geld hat, um die Schuhe ihres Sohnes zu reparieren.
Mama arbeitete unermüdlich und vertraute die Erziehung des Sohnes ihrer ältesten Tochter Joan an. Um ihren Bruder irgendwie zu beschäftigen, gab sie ihm Pappschach. Dies wurde Roberts Leidenschaft.
Laut der offiziellen Version stritt sich der stolze Teenager wegen Schach mit seiner Mutter, und sie verließ ihren Sohn. "Ich bin meiner Mutter dankbar, dass sie mich verlassen hat", sagte Bobby, "sie hat mich immer in schwarzen Handschuhen gehalten, aber das gefällt mir nicht."
Es ist jedoch jetzt eine neue Version dieser Lücke erschienen. FBI-Agenten berichten, dass Mutter und Sohn weiterhin eine recht herzliche Beziehung pflegen. Und ihr öffentlicher Streit und ihre Trennung waren imaginär und wurden auf Anweisung des sowjetischen Geheimdienstes durchgeführt. Auf Lubjanka, so heißt es, wussten sie, dass Regina Fisher nach ihrer Auswanderung in die USA unter der Haube der amerikanischen Spionageabwehr stand. Die Chekisten wollten angeblich den Verdacht von Robert ablenken.
Aus dem letzten Interview
Fisher zögerte äußerst, Reportern Interviews zu geben. Doch kurz vor seinem Tod beantwortete er telefonisch Fragen eines Journalisten in einer russischen Zeitung. Und das letzte Mal, dass er am 27. Januar 2002 auf der isländischen Station ausgestrahlt wurde.
Jemand aus dem Publikum des Radiosenders stellte dem Urgroßmeister eine Frage: Wer ist der Größte unter den Großen - er oder Garry Kasparov. „Wie kannst du mich mit diesem Betrüger vergleichen? Ich möchte ihn nicht anrufen. Weder beim Namen noch nur Kasparov ist nur ein Verbrecher! Ich weiß, jetzt versucht er sich politisch zu engagieren, er ist gegen Präsident Putin. Für mich ist Kasparovs Kampagne gegen Präsident Putin eine gute Gelegenheit, Präsident Putin seine Zustimmung und volle Unterstützung auszudrücken. Kasparov ist die Personifikation des Bösen. Wenn Sie ihn mit einem Lügendetektor testen, stellen Sie sicher, dass er ein Lügner ist! “
Skandalöser König
Wurde Bobby im Sommer 1958 in Moskau rekrutiert? Das FBI sagt ja. Wie bei einem fünfzehnjährigen Mann haben "heimtückische Russen" einen fünfundzwanzigjährigen Übersetzer ausgerutscht, und sie hat ihn in eine "Honigfalle" gelockt. Durch das Bett und rekrutiert. Als Oberst Lazarev dies hörte, lachte er:
- Ja, damals hat er die Mädchen überhaupt nicht angesehen. Und die Übersetzerin wurde nur geschätzt, weil sie laut Bobby ein unschätzbares Geschenk hatte: Sie wusste, wie man einem einsamen König mit einem Pferd und einem Elefanten eine Matte gibt. Übrigens hatte sie den ersten Rang im Schach.
Dank der Briefe ihrer Mutter in der Sowjetunion wussten sie etwas über ein junges Schachgenie. Zum Beispiel antwortete ein Teenager über Lehrer wie folgt: „In der Schule gibt es nichts zu lernen. Lehrer sind dumm. Frauen sollten keine Lehrerinnen sein. An meiner Schule war nur ein Sportlehrer nicht dumm - er hat gut Schach gespielt. “
Und hier ist ein Auszug aus einem anderen Brief, in dem die Mutter Robert beschrieb:
„Der Sohn trägt einfache Sportjacken und erkennt Anzüge und Krawatten nicht. Raucht, trinkt nicht und trifft sich nicht mit Mädchen. Kann nicht tanzen Er liebt Schwimmen, Tennis, Skifahren und Eislaufen. “
Bobby war nicht gierig, wie viele glaubten. Und das Geld des sowjetischen Geheimdienstes wäre kaum geschmeichelt. Dank Fischers Anfragen ist der Preispool des Spiels für die Schachweltmeisterschaft gewachsen. Robert selbst sagte: „Ich werde dafür sorgen, dass Schach nicht weniger respektvoll behandelt wird als Boxen. Egal wie viel Mohammed Ali für seinen nächsten Auftritt verlangt, ich werde mehr verlangen. “
Es scheint, dass der Schachmeister kein gewöhnlicher Spion war. Er brauchte kein Geld. Die James Bond Laurels haben nie einen Schachkönig angezogen. Und der sowjetische Geheimdienst konnte es nur "ins Dunkle" bringen: als Agent des Einflusses.
Der berühmte Schachspieler könnte die öffentliche Meinung beeinflussen. Zum Beispiel wurden in freigegebenen Berichten von FBI-Mitarbeitern die antiamerikanischen Aussagen von Fisher erwähnt, insbesondere seine scharf negative Haltung gegenüber dem Vietnamkrieg. Die pazifistische Aktivität des Schachspielers hat laut FBI-Führung das Ansehen der USA geschädigt und war in den Händen des Kremls.
Die Geduld der amerikanischen Geheimdienste wurde durch Fischers öffentliche Unkenntnis des amerikanischen Boykotts Jugoslawiens überwältigt. Aus den freigegebenen Dokumenten des FBI ist bekannt, dass die Russen den örtlichen Bankier Ezdimir Vasilevich angeblich überredet haben, seinem Agenten riesige Geldbeträge zuzuweisen. Es standen 5 Millionen Dollar auf dem Spiel (3,35 Millionen für den Gewinner und 1,65 Millionen für den Verlierer). Und es ist klar, wer den Preis bekommen hat.
Der größte Skandal verursachte jedoch eine Erklärung von Bobby Fisher nach dem Angriff vom 11. September. Dann rief er den philippinischen Radiosender Radio Bombo an und sagte, er sei begeistert von der Operation der Terroristen. Der folgende Dialog fand live statt:
"Warum haben Sie die Terroranschläge auf Amerika gutgeheißen?"
"Die Vereinigten Staaten und Israel sind seit mehreren Jahrzehnten Massaker in Palästina." In den USA vergießt niemand Tränen darüber. Kürzlich haben Amerikaner im irakischen Falludscha 1.500 Menschen getötet. Und sie töten immer wieder Menschen. In den Vereinigten Staaten sprechen sie über die Tragödie vom 11. September, aber niemand spricht über Hiroshima und Nagasaki. Hier starben viel mehr Menschen als am berüchtigten 11. September in New York.
Und es gab Dutzende oder sogar Hunderte solcher Aussagen. Es ist unwahrscheinlich, dass sie auf Anweisung des sowjetischen Geheimdienstes hergestellt wurden.
"Ist Fisher verrückt?" - fragte der Kolumnist von "AN" Oberst Lazarev.
"Um den Verstand zu verlieren, müssen Sie es haben", versuchte Semyon Moiseevich immer, es auszulachen. Und dann fügte er hinzu: - Viele von Fischers Aussagen haben mich persönlich verärgert. Unser Späher würde sich niemals einen solchen Höhlenmenschen-Antisemitismus erlauben.
Wie Sie wissen, hatte Fisher weder mit Drogen noch mit Alkohol Probleme. Der philippinische Schachspieler Eugenio Torre, einer der wenigen, die in den letzten Jahren mit Fischer gesprochen haben, sagt, dass sie diese Person einfach nicht verstehen wollten: „Verrückt? Nein. Er ist einfach ein Mann der Prinzipien. Er ist gesund, aber die von ihm geäußerten Meinungen sind so kontrovers, dass alle um ihn herum entschieden haben, dass er verrückt ist. “
Hilfe "AN"
Robert Fisher wurde am 9. März 1943 in Chicago geboren. Seine Mutter Regina Fischer (geborene Vender) ist eine Schweizer Jüdin, deren Familie aus Polen in die Schweiz gezogen ist. Sein Vater war Hans-Gerhard Fischer, ein deutscher Biologe-Kommunist, der aus dem NS-Regime in der UdSSR ausgewandert ist und dort Regina kennengelernt hat, die Medizin studiert hat Institut. 1939 verließ das Paar die UdSSR und zog nach Amerika, aber von diesem Moment an lebten sie getrennt; Regina ließ sich in den Vereinigten Staaten und Gerhard in Chile nieder, und als Kommunist durfte er nicht in die Vereinigten Staaten einreisen. Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs kehrte Gerhard nach Deutschland zurück.
Aber Roberts wirklicher Vater war Paul Nemeni, ein ungarischer Jude, der aus Nazideutschland in die USA geflohen war, ein Mathematiker, Nobelpreisträger und Teilnehmer am Manhattan-Projekt (der Schaffung der amerikanischen Atombombe). Nemeni beteiligte sich aktiv an der Erziehung des Jungen, kümmerte sich um ihn, bezahlte sein Studium bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1952.
Höhlenantisemitismus
Als ich mehrere Jahre in Budapest leben und arbeiten musste, war Robert Fischer gleichzeitig in der ungarischen Hauptstadt. In journalistischen Kreisen erzählte man dann eine solche Geschichte. Eines Tages lud Bobby den Budapester Radiosender ein, ihn zu interviewen. Das Gespräch endete in Verlegenheit. In den ersten fünf Minuten ging es um Schach. Dann ging Fisher zu ... antisemitischer Propaganda über. Und auf die Bemerkung des Gastgebers über die jüdische Herkunft von Fisher schlug der Schachspieler dem Journalisten vor, auf die Toilette zu gehen, um das zu klären.
Wie Sie wissen, sind die leidenschaftlichsten Antisemiten die Juden selbst. Dennoch ist der Antisemitismus, der zu einem der Hauptwidersprüche im Leben eines Schachspielers geworden ist, überraschend. Niemand konnte es erklären: Bobbys Mutter war Jüdin, er wurde im jüdischen Viertel geboren. Und es trägt so!
Zum Beispiel sagte Fisher in einem seiner Radioauftritte: „Amerika steht unter der vollständigen Kontrolle der Juden. Alle Chefs sind Juden, geheime Juden oder Tsereushny-Ratten, die für Juden arbeiten. "
Laut Semyon Moiseevich ist Fischers Höhlenantisemitismus weitgehend den israelischen Geheimdiensten schuldig, die die nationale Karte bei der Arbeit mit Robert zu ungeschickt spielten. Alle Rekrutierungsversuche scheiterten kläglich. Dies ist den Amerikanern bekannt. Nach den freigegebenen Dokumenten zu urteilen, versuchte die Führung der amerikanischen Geheimdienste jedoch erneut, die Russen für alles verantwortlich zu machen.
Nach einer skandalösen Deportation aus Japan lebte Fisher in Island in Reykjavik. Im November 2007 wurde er mit Nierenversagen ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert. Fisher wurde eine Operation angeboten, aber er lehnte ab. Aber war diese Krankheit die Todesursache, die am 17. Januar 2008 folgte? Vor seinem Tod gab er an, dass er unter fünfhundert anderen Gefangenen in einem japanischen Gefängnis mit Strahlung bestrahlt wurde. Es befand sich neben dem Kernkraftwerk Fukushima.
