Former CIA employee Valerie Plame called the letters fake letters shown in the announcement of the film "Russia-1" Operation "Trembling": a secret correspondence of the Navalny agent. " “I think the letter is fake,” Playm said in an interview with the Rain TV channel.
She also said that she had never heard the names of Alexei Navalny and William Broud, mentioned in the announcement of the film.
According to Plame, she could not write a report to the CIA director about the health of Sergei Magnitsky, dated September 20, 2009, since by this time she had not worked in this organization.
On April 10, the Russia -1 channel showed a fragment of the film , which stated that the founder of the Navalny Corruption Fund - the CIA agent and British intelligence Mi6. The 15-minute announcement of the film with the preface of the Deputy General Director of VGTRK Dmitry Kiselev is placed on the channel's website; The entire “Operation“ Trembling ”operation will be shown on April 13th.
According to the film, it is based on secret materials that have fallen to Moscow "thanks to the armed coup in Ukraine and the former head of the Security Service Boris Berezovsky Sergey Sokolov." In files allegedly provided by Sokolov, reports of the CIA and Mi6 employees about agents with pseudonym Solomon and Frida were found. Under the first of them, says Russia -1, hides the head of the Hermitage Capital Foundation William Brauder, under the second - Navalny. Brauder allegedly recruited Navalny in December 2007.
The operation "trembling" in which both agents participate was developed by the CIA in 1986, the television channel assures. Its goal is formulated as follows: "Changing the constitutional and political system in Eastern Europe and the USSR."
Among the persons who gave an interview for the film, the former investigator of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the person involved in Magnitsky’s list Pavel Karpov and political analyst Sergei Kurginyan.
Also, in the film, in the name of V. Plame, the “Report of the Director of the CIA” was signed on the proposal of “agent Solomon” to organize the “cessation of any medical care” in the pre-trial detention center of Sergei Magnitsky in order to subsequently write off his death on a medical mistake.
On April 11, Navalny said that he was suing the VGTRK. According to him, everything that is shown in the announcement of the film is "not just lies, but a direct intentional slander."
“That is why we are not only suing Russia -1, Kiselev and“ authors of the investigation ”a claim for the protection of honor and dignity, but we will also seek to initiate a slander case. She is here in a pure form, as in the textbook,” Navalny said, citing examples of false information used in the film.
Thus, the given examples of “CIA agents” contain gross linguistic errors, in the screenshots of the “correspondence” of Navalny with William Brauder there are confusion in the dates, and the “CIA documents” are repeated defects in the press shown in the television program in 1986.
"Intelligence Documents" are signed no more or less, but V. Plame itself. She is one of the most famous CIA agents - a grandiose scandal of President Bush was associated with her. Obviously, Kiselev’s employees simply googled Cia Agent and found her name, however, they did not read the articles where she was mentioned, otherwise they would know that the scandal with her was completed by dismissal in 2006. And in Kiselev, she corresponds in 2009, ”Navalny wrote.
In addition, according to the founder of the FBK, in the "recording of the conversation" with "it seems to be a deputy of the State Duma Ilya Ponomarev" does not sound his voice, but the conversation "is more like the conversation of Dmitry Kiselev and his grandmother."
“For the first time in my life, I sue the media in honor and dignity (it was technical with a seagull, it is not considered), but it’s worth it,” Navalny emphasized.
