MOSCOW, February 2 State Duma Deputy Evgeniy Fedorov believes that the Russian Federation will face the problem of “patriotic spies” who are being trained by the US State Department.
In the United States, they believe that Russian fellows of American programs — there are more than 80 thousand of them — with “proper processing” can become the core of the fifth column, the SVR press bureau previously reported, citing the director of the service, Sergei Naryshkin.
«We must understand that we will face this, and our main problem and conflict will be in this area, and not in the field… We will have to solve the problems of spies, I remind you that these are three large groups: officials, bloggers on the Internet , journalists, in part, and leaders of the patriotic trend… Patriotic spies will push through their agenda,” he said at a press conference as part of the “Ukrainian Dossier” special project on future wars at the Russia Today International Multimedia Press Center.
As the deputy explained, “patriotic spies” are agents of influence trained by the US State Department under the training program for public opinion leaders in Russia.
