Chepiga's bio grows. @MBKhMedia claims after serving in special forces, he was recruited to study operational-tactical recon at the GRU conservatory in 2009 & received the Hero of Russia medal for helping to evacuate Ukrainian president Yanukovych in 2014.
It lists the names of 12 soldiers registered to the same dormitory as Chepiga, probably because they were also studying at the GRU conservatory. Is one of them the real name of Alexander Petrov?

It's open season on Chepiga: Soldiers who served with him tell @novaya_gazeta he's definitely Ruslan Boshirov from the RT interview. They say an influential relative in Khabarovsk got him a command there & that he won Hero of Russia for the Crimea takeover.

In a rare personal comment on the Sergei Skripal scandal, Russian President Vladimir Putin lambasted the former double agent as a “traitor” and “scum.” The sooner the media noise around Skripal ends, the better, Putin said.

Some media outlets are “pushing through a theory that Mr Skripal is some sort of a rights activist. He’s plainly a spy. A traitor to his homeland. There’s such a thing – being a traitor to the homeland. He is one,” Putin said on Wednesday, speaking at the Russian Energy Week International Forum in Moscow.

“Imagine, if there’s a person in your country who betrayed it. How would you treat him?” Putin added. “He’s plainly scum.”

Putin also said the whole Skripal affair had been blown out of proportion, adding that “the faster [the media campaign] ends, the better.”

Ne verjameš, da je Skripal Velikemu Vodji izmeček in da bi VV rad videl, da se medijski cirkus čim prej konča?

P.S.

Kdo forsira, da je Skripal neke vrste aktivist? Vlado živi v alternativni realnosti

Nizozemska ima tiskovno konferenco. Aprila so ujeli ruske obveščevalce, ki so se igrali z Wi-Fi omrežjem OPCW. Mesec po Skripalu, teden po Doumi. Po nadaljnjem brskanju so bili sodelujoči aktivni še na WADA kongresu, kemičnem laboratoriju v Spietzu (analizira vzorce za OPCW in WADO), malezijskem vrhovnem tožilstvu in nekje v Braziliji.

On 13 April, Dutch military intelligence disrupted a GRU operation against OPCW at the Hague. 4 Russian GRU officers were identified in a hacking operation.

...further evidence found found that the laptop of one of the GRU officers was also used in hacking operations in Brazili, and Malaysia - in connection with MH17!!!

"This is an unusual moment when we must disclose details of a secret operations. The GRU deployed hacking equipment in proximity to the WIFI network of OPCW..."""

arrived April 10 on diplomatic passports.

These were the four undercover GRU officers

The numbers of the passports as you may have noticed, were sequential :) :)

On April 13 they parked their rented Citroen as close as possible to the OPCW building with back toward it. From the parking of the Marriott hotel, they tried to disrupt the OPCW network which was at that time working on the Skripal and the Dhouma analysis.

One of the phones was identified to have been activated for the first time in Moscow near GRU's office..on 9th April

One of them had a taxi receipt...from the day of the trip to NL...travelling from the GRU high-tech HQ (where hacking on the DNC server was conducted),...to Sheremetievo airport

At least one of them also traveled to Switzerland during the WADA congress

"One of the GRU officers , Evgeniy Serbryakov, also conducted malign activity in Malaysia...targeted Chief Prosecutor's office and Police..."

The Dutch prevented the group from travelling to Spietz in Switzerland...However, that was not the first time they went there. During the APT-28 malware attack on WADA in 2016, one of the laptops of the 4 was registered to the hotel network where WADA congress was held.

In March, right after Salisbury, GRU tried to infiltrate UK police via spear-phishing. In April, GRU attacked remotely computers of UK dealing with the poison analysis , and in May, attacked OPCW employees via spear-rphishing.

Hehe.

Scoop: I talked to a former football teammate of Yevgeny Serebryakov, one of the four men identified by Dutch authorities today. He said that Serebryakov was indeed a government agent. Their team was known in the league as the “security service team.”

https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status...

Malo prehitevajo.

Drugi atentator je dr. Aleksander Miškin, vojaški zdravnik.

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-...

We have now identified “Alexander Petrov” to be in fact Dr. Alexander Yevgenyevich Mishkin, a trained military doctor in the employ of the GRU. Bellingcat’s identification process included multiple open sources, testimony from people familiar with the person, as well as copies of personally identifying documents, including a scanned copy of his passport. The full identification process will be described in the upcoming full report.

...

Alexander Mishkin was born on 13.07.1979 in the village of Loyga, in the Archangelsk District in Northern European Russia. He studied and graduated from one of Russia’s elite Military Medical Academies, and was trained as a military doctor for the Russian naval armed forces.

During his medical studies, Mishkin was recruited by the GRU, and by 2010 had relocated to Moscow, where he received his undercover identity – including a second national ID and travel passport – under the alias Alexander Petrov.

In the period 2011-2018, Alexander Mishkin traveled extensively under his new identity. Bellingcat has identified multiple trips to Ukraine and to the self-declared Transnistrian Republic, the last of which as late as during the Maidan events in Kyiv in December 2013.

...

Until early September 2014, Mishkin’s registered home address in Moscow was Khoroshevskoe Shosse 76B – the address of the headquarters of the GRU. In the autumn of 2014, both Mishkin and Anatoliy Chepiga moved to upscale apartments.

...

Bellingcat and the Insider have interviewed multiple sources familiar with Mishkin, both in St. Petersburg and in his native Loyga.

In the full report, which will be published on Tuesday at 13:00, we will publish the full method by which Mishkin was identified, as well as witness testimony from various sources. The full report will also contain forensic evidence of the visual (facial) match between “Alexander Mishkin” and “Alexander Petrov”

Polno poročilo.

Še najbolj presenetljivo pri vsem skupaj je, kako enostavno se v Rusiji pride do posameznikovih osebnih podatkov. Ali so (shekane) baze prosto dostopne na internetu, ali se tam oglašujejo za drobiž ali pa stisneš pravemu 50€ da ti priskrbi podatke.

Aha, miškinova babica ima menda njegov portret s Putinom. Od takrat, ko je prejel naziv heroj RF.

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-...

...

Alexander Mishkin lived in his home village until at least 1995 when he was sixteen. For a large part of his school years, Mishkin lived with his grandmother, Loyga’s only medical practitioner at the time.

...

In the latter part of 2014, President Putin bestowed Alexander Mishkin with the Hero of the Russian Federation Award. People closely familiar with Mishkin’s family reported to us that they believe Russia’s highest award was given for Mishkin’s activities “either in Crimea or in relation to [former Ukrainian president] Yanukovich”

...

In the autumn of 2014, at the time both Mishkin and Chepiga received their Hero of Russia Awards, both moved to upscale apartments valued at between €350,000 and €500,000 at the exchange rates that existed then. Bellingcat believes that these apartments were in-kind remuneration that accompanied the highest state award.

...

Looking for clues as to the geographical focus for the search, we noted that in the “cover” passport file, there was a reference to a previous passport – issued in St. Petersburg in 1999.

Searching through dozens of previously leaked databases, we did not find such passport issue number, leading the team to conclude the number was fake.

...

Focusing on St. Petersburg, we searched through various leaked databases of residents, vehicle owners and telephone subscribers

...

This search resulted in only one exact match in St. Petersburg databases from 2003 and 2006: Alexander Yevgeniyevich Mishkin, born on 13 July 1979. This name with the same address, Akademika Lebedeva street 12, apartment 30, are mentioned in an open source database as well.

Bellingcat then used the telephone number (which is no longer in service) listed in the database as search criteria, to find other St. Petersburg residents that were linked to it. At least eight residents were registered to have used this same phone number, in the 2003 and 2006 databases. This finding suggested that these living quarters may have been a communal apartment (komunalnaya kvartira), or living space shared by multiple unrelated residents.

A review of the map of St. Petersburg placed the address directly across the part of the campus buildings of the St. Petersburg Military Medical Academy, or VMEDA.

...

Using the open-source online database of residents of St. Petersburg, Bellingcat identified more than 30 persons who had inhabited different apartments in the house at “Akademika Lebedeva 12.” A search for these people’s online presence showed that many of them list VMEDA as their alma mater

...

On the assumption that the real person behind “Alexander Petrov” lives and works in Moscow (as suggested by the Moscow registration of the cover passport file), Bellingcat then searched for presence of a person with the name Alexander Yevgenyevich Mishkin in Moscow. The first open-source result was from a Moscow online phone database.

Using this phone number and name, we searched in various leaked Moscow databases and found a match in a car insurance database from 2013.

However, at this point it was not unequivocal that this Moscow-based person having the same full name and driving a Volvo XC90 was the same person as the St. Petersburg namesake. To verify this, Bellingcat acquired the registration history of this vehicle from an official Russian database. The car history showed that it had been imported – and initially registered – in St. Petersburg in 2012, and on 11 September 2013 had been transferred to an individual residing in the Khoroshevsky District in Moscow.

As the GRU headquarters is located at Khoroshevsko Shosse 76B, in this same district, this finding increased the probability that Alexander Mishkin from St. Petersburg is indeed “Alexander Petrov”.

...

To eliminate these uncertainties, we obtained a more recent auto insurance database from 2014, available for purchase from a Russian website. A search for the registered owner of the Volvo XC90 eliminated any doubt that Alexander Mishkin is linked to the GRU, as the address listed for the owner was GRU’s headquarters, at Khoroshevskoe Shosse 76B.

...

Via Russian social networks, Bellingcat mass-contacted hundreds of VMEDA graduates from the 2001-2007 class range. We did not inform the persons contacted about the context of the query, nor mentioned Petrov. Many of the contacted persons responded by saying they are not familiar with an Alexander Mishkin in their class. Most other did not respond to our queries. One person who requested complete anonymity, confirmed to Bellingcat that Alexander Mishkin indeed graduated the academy in a different class than his or hers, and that this person had recognized Mishkin as “Alexander Petrov” from the RT interview. This same person informed us that many of the graduates from Mishkin’s class and department had been contacted by Russian security services over the last few weeks, and instructed not to divulge Mishkin’s identity to anyone.

Having established Petrov’s true identity in late September, we focused all efforts on obtaining a photograph of Alexander Mishkin. As reported by Russian media, following Bellingcat’s initial reports on the Skripal suspects, the Russian domestic security agency FSB clamped down on sources that they perceived might be leaking data from Russia’s passport dossier databases. As a result, requesting any source to provide the investigating team with access to Mishkin’s passport file was not an option, as it would place such source in danger.

Instead, we were able to obtain a copy of Alexander Mishkin’s scanned passport pages, from a source with access to a scanned copy of the passport. The source requested complete anonymity due to safety concerns, and thus Bellingcat cannot share the type of position or history the source has that has enabled him/her to have access to this document.

The source also provided Bellingcat with a second document in the name of Alexander Mishkin containing a (different) photograph of a person with a strong facial resemblance of “Petrov”.

...

For final validation of our amassed findings, Bellingcat’s Russian investigative partner, The Insider, sent a reporter to the village of Loyga. The reporter was able to meet and talk to many residents, who all recognized “Alexander Petrov”, the person shown on photographs released by the British police and seen in the RT interview, as “our local boy” Alexander Mishkin.

...

One source close to Mishkin’s grandmother (who is now in her 90’s, and as a former doctor is still revered in the village) told us that the reason for the award is top secret, but that the understanding in the village was that it was “for Crimea or Yanukovich”.

The same source told us that Alexander Mishkin’s grandmother possesses a photograph on which President Putin is bestowing the Gold Star medal (which goes with the award) to Alexander, and shakes his hand. The source said the grandmother treasures this photo and does not show it to everyone, and never lets anyone else hold it. Our reporter was not able to talk directly to Petrov’s grandmother or see the photograph.

In the mostly isolated village of Loyga, Mishkin's old neighbors tell @tvrain that Mishkin was involved in the Crimean annexation somehow (they're unclear as to the how) and that they know this from his relatives And here is the Loyga school. @tvrain's correspondent reports that school children appear to have been warned to avoid speaking to the press. Hm. We wonder why. There are some new signs on the door of the local kindergarten. One reads: "Photos and video recording prohibited." We're guessing this one is *not* directed at proud parents coming to record fun kindergarten events. Friends of the family are convinced that Mishkin is a "good guy" who couldn't have been involved in what happened in Salisbury. Assume it's a provocation of some kind. This gentleman's wife threatened to call the police on the press. Yikes. This same gentleman, in passing, also admits to have knowledge that Mishkin is a Hero of Russia. He's a local artist. We hope his wife forgave him for talking to the press. "I'm 100% certain that this is Sasha [a Russian diminutive for Alexander]. I remember him from school," says an old classmate, meanwhile. "There were, of course, rumors that [Mishkin] was FSB or in one of those [other security service] structures," Mishkin's old classmate says. The house of Mishkin's parents in the village of Lomovatka, as pointed out to @tvrain by neighbors. The residents left "a couple of weeks ago," while "in a hurry." No one knows where they went, or why. Another mystery

Excellent report from Dozhd TV who went to Loyga and talked to locals about "The Hero of Russia...Sasha Mishkin...who got the award for the Crimea transition" Alexander Mishkin 5 or 6 year old on this photo.

Čepiga in Miškin sta proizvod ruskega imperializma.
Njuno razkritje je rezultat korupcije in druge gnilobe v ruski družbi. FFS, uslužbenci GRU so zasebna vozila registrirali na sedež obveščevalne službe. Da bi bilo manj problemov s prometno policijo.

Vse ostalo je agitprop.

Pri Bellingcatu verjetno praskajo naprej.

We have a very difficult geolocation challenge for our readers, to assist us in an ongoing investigation. We think that this image could have been taken in Switzerland, Germany, or Denmark. Can anyone find out which factory / church is in the background of this photograph?

Caveat: this photograph also could be in Greece, Bulgaria, or Georgia, but we cannot tell if the cross on the steeple is Orthodox or not. If this is indeed an Orthodox cross (resolution is low, sadly), then it obviously is not likely to be in the Germany, Switzerland, or Denmark.

And our winner, 55 minutes after our initial call for help, is @adam_pawson! Looks like a match with the power plant in the background -- Zeran, north of Warsaw. Hopefully we'll be able to publish our investigation involving this photograph in 2018.

More precisely, this is approximately where it was taken (Taras Widokowy / observation deck) from, with Old Town Warsaw in the background

When I discovered GRU undercover officer Denis Sergeev listed "Richard Sorge Street"as his home address on an insurance application, I thought he was trolling. I thought, great sense of self-irony.
I just discovered that WAS his real address.



Richard Sorge @ Wikipedia

Richard Sorge (October 4, 1895 – November 7, 1944) was a German journalist and Soviet military intelligence officer, active before and during World War II, working undercover as a German journalist in both Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan. His codename was "Ramsay" (Russian: Рамза́й). A number of famous personalities considered him one of the most accomplished spies.

Sorge is most famous for his service in Japan in 1940 and 1941, when he provided information about Adolf Hitler's plan to attack the Soviet Union.

In mid-September 1941, he informed the Soviets that Japan would not attack the Soviet Union in the near future, which dramatically altered the plight of Operation Barbarossa and allowed the command to transfer 18 divisions, 1,700 tanks, and over 1,500 aircraft from Siberia and the Far East to the Western Front against Nazi Germany during the most critical months of the Battle for Moscow, one of the turning points of World War II.

A month later Sorge was arrested in Japan on the counts of espionage. He was tortured, forced to confess, tried, and hanged in November 1944. He was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union in 1964.

...

In 1941, through his Embassy contacts, he learned of Operation Barbarossa, the imminent Axis invasion of the USSR, and even the approximate date. On May 30, 1941, Sorge reported to Moscow: "Berlin informed Ott that German attack will commence in the latter part of June. Ott 95 percent certain war will commence."[9] On June 20, 1941, Sorge reported: "Ott told me that war between Germany and the USSR is inevitable.... Invest [the code name for Ozaki] told me that the Japanese General Staff is already discussing what position to take in the event of war."[9] Moscow received the reports, but ultimately Joseph Stalin and other top leaders ignored Sorge's warnings, as well as those of other sources.[34]
