Russian FSB outplayed James Bond
Andrey LVOV, Mikhail OZEROV - 01/19/2012
There is no smoke without fire. This was once again confirmed by the former head of the office of the ex-prime minister of Great Britain Tony Blair, Jonathan Powell. In an interview with the BBC, a former senior official admitted that the “spy stone” on which British diplomats “burned” in January 2006 is not really an invention of the Russian FSB.

- It was unpleasant. We were caught by the hand. I am sure they learned about this long before the scandal, but for political reasons they did not release the information for some time, ”Powell said.

Recall that the espionage scandal erupted after a detective story in the spirit of James Bond stories was shown on Russian television. The plot featured 4 diplomats working at the British Embassy in Moscow. They transmitted intelligence using special devices disguised as stone. The transmitters were mounted in a plastic case, which was found in one of the metropolitan squares (Read the details in the material: Television journalist Arkady Mamontov: I told how the West spies on us. And they called me a strangler of freedom).

Spies worked as follows. One of them at a certain time walked around the square not far from the "stone" transmitter and poured information onto it from his handheld computer (PDA). An employee of the British embassy, camouflaging himself as a student, in the same way, through the CCP, received mails, appearing in the same park and connecting his PDA to the transmitter.

The name of the Russian spy is not called, but according to some reports, he confessed to the crime. British spokesman Paul Cronton, second secretary of the British embassy in Moscow, Mark Dow, and secretary-archivists of the embassy Andrew Fleming and Christopher Peart were suspected of espionage on the British side. True, spy diplomats did not suffer any punishment, but simply returned to their homeland. Diplomatic immunity did not allow the Russian special services to even question them.

In January 2006, a number of British media linked the espionage scandal to the restriction of the activities of non-governmental organizations in Russia introduced the day before. It is no secret that many Russian human rights activists, for example, the Helsinki Group, actually live on grants from foreign governments.

The piquancy of the "spy stone" was given by the fact that the British caught red-handed actually supervised the funds through which the financing of human rights organizations went.

Until today, the UK authorities have denied all allegations.

Interview with Jonathan Powell, who revealed the truth about the story of the "spy stone", was included in the series "Putin, Russia and the West." It will be shown on the BBC Two channel on January 20, at 1 am Moscow time.
AND AT THIS TIME

British media: “This is a big embarrassment”

Jonathan Powell's statement caused a big buzz on Albion. The local media recognize that all this is a big embarrassment. “Britain initially ridiculed Moscow’s accusations of“ spy stones, ”but six years later, former assistant Tony Blair admitted that this“ embarrassing episode really took place ”and was not pulled over the ears of Russian propaganda,” writes, for example, The Daily Telegraph.

Mr. Powell made his sensational statement in the four-part documentary film Putin, Russia, and the West. The first episode is broadcast Thursday night on BBC Two.

“This is planned work,” the BBC press center told me. - Her task is to show the presidential elections in Russia all the stages of Mr Putin’s entry into power. Colleagues of the current Prime Minister and Western politicians who met with him share their impressions of one of the most influential people on the planet.

Journalist Arkady Mamontov: “The point has been set. The British admitted "

TV channel journalist Arkady Mamontov, who in January 2006, in his program Spies, first told the story of the “cunning stone”, commented on Facebook the sensational recognition of a former senior British official:

“6 years have passed since the release of the Spy program. The point is set. The British admitted that the stone referred to in the release was indeed spyware. Truth will always triumph. Victory will be ours. I am glad that the program that we did in defense of our state was appreciated by both friends and foes. Thanks to everyone who supported. And ... thanks to everyone who scolded. Many thanks to Mrs. Alekseeva, a human rights activist (the only question is whose rights she protects). Many thanks to Leonid Parfyonov, who, in a blind hatred of Mamontov, tried to denigrate and crush him, but it turned out the opposite. I am grateful to Leonid for this. Many thanks to everyone who then scolded me, scoffed and laughed at me. Many thanks to all of them for the victory in the struggle for Russia that we won ... "

FROM FIRST TALES

Arkady MAMONTOV - “Komsomolka”: “History put everything in its place”

- I have a feeling of victory - the truth has triumphed! History put everything in its place - the British admitted! Six years have passed since the release of the program "Spies". And everything that we showed then was fully confirmed. We are proud that we told people the truth and survived, despite the completely savage attacks of our home-grown liberals. Many thanks to everyone who supported me in difficult times!

But I want to say thanks to those who blasphemed me and called me names. To all this liberal party, which hooted: "The spy stone was invented by the henchman of the FSB Mamontov!" Of course, I do not expect an apology from them. Let them live in this evil world of theirs. These people are now trying to saddle the protest movement against the outrages that exist in our society

Look, everything is repeated. The new American ambassador Michael McFaul, a specialist in “velvet revolutions”, did not have time to arrive in Moscow, when these so-called oppositionists reached out to him in a chain.

Then, in 2006, Komsomolskaya Pravda asked me: “Arkady, are you right?” I replied: "100 percent." While I work on television, I will always defend my homeland and our people!

VIEW FROM 6th FLOOR

I wish I apologized

In England, they recognized that the “pebble” was not simple, but mishandled like that Cossack. And the cries of human rights defenders and other people, experiencing a pathological mixture of hatred and fear towards the state, ended in failure.

How they shouted then, how they then treated the FSB about the bookmark with a “pebble”, how they scoffed at counterintelligence officers who were doing their duty. And now, it turns out, they were stigmatized for the fact that the “fighters for civil liberties” were fed from the same hands that were conducting intelligence work against Russia. And not one of those who then spread rot and humiliated journalist Arkady Mamontov for allegedly "slandering" the noble British and human rights activists (read quotes on the right) found the strength to apologize to our colleague. However, no - Marat Gelman nevertheless apologized. One. For the rest, liberal values are higher than human values.

No, they did not cover their mouths with their hand. They are still on the offensive. They cannot deny the obvious now, but they shout that the “bloody gebnya” applies the same thing at times more and more often. And therefore de she is guilty more. Familiar screams. Under them, the most powerful law enforcement institutions of the state were destroyed, the military-industrial complex collapsed, etc.

As long as at least two states remain on the planet, they will have special services that will try to make them as effective as possible. And it is not the business of civil law experts to interfere with the sour and put sticks in the wheels in this area of state activity. And if you think differently, look for your pebbles in Hyde Park.

In such situations, global practice is as follows:
intelligence of any country never confirms or refutes allegations related to the performance of professional duties against its employees.

Arkady, although a journalist, but a man!
Leonid, although a talented journalist ("The Day Before," etc.), but unfortunately - with great luck!
"Great liberal human rights defenders" eat from the hands of our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition!
Arkady and counterintelligence officers are a big plus. To our western “friends”, this time, alas - a minus.

PS Well, maaalenky plus "that uncle" who at least apologized ... For not apologizing - you need to be able to admit your mistakes ... in choosing the Homeland (!!!), and not try to remake it for yours and "them selfish interests. I think the comments of the "Parthenian", "German" and other "true Russian" professing the only true values, it would be much more correct to listen from those regions where their colleague Viktor Rezun still eats up, hiding from prying eyes, and where not so long ago , but another colleague, Mr. Litvinenko, died so ingloriously in the prime of life And that’s the point.
