Shaltai-Boltai worked for the FSB. "Shaltai-Boltai" was not connected with the FSB. The chief of the FSB QIB Mikhailov collaborated with American intelligence, which he confessed. The chief of the FSB QIB Mikhailov abandoned the confession.
News in cases related to Russian hackers and their Chekist patrons are monotonous for all their visible inconsistency. The monotony lies in the fact that it is impossible to verify the facts than these plots are fundamentally different from the foreign stories we know. Assange, Snowden or, pardoned by Obama Chelsea Manning, are primarily scandalists who gain their right in the fight against special services and do not hide the motives of their own actions.
They can be cursed or despised, they can be admired, but they are more or less understandable, these people. As in general, what is happening in an open society, where any citizen, as a rule, has the opportunity to even appeal to compatriots and to the whole world. Explain, take responsibility, express a protest.
On the contrary, the affairs of Russian hackers and as if not related to them, according to the last leaks, the "traitors" from the FSB are completely based on rumors. This applies to rare official comments. This applies to the statements of lawyers, whose task, how easily guesses, comes down to not harm to customers. This also applies to journalistic investigations based on mysterious sources, which seem to merge the truth in half with the deza. And the detainees are silent as partisans during interrogations. With that, however, the difference is that they talk in interrogations, but we do not hear them at all.
As a result, any serious expert, trying to collect a convincing puzzle from scattered fragments, first of all confesses that it cannot be comprehended. Everything is too confused with a clear shortage of reliable information. It remains only to ask questions. However, these questions are of such such that at least partially clarify the overall picture. Picture of the disease.
Russia in the Anschlus era connects in its policy, internal and external, two concepts: imperialism and checkism. What is reflected in both the actions of the state and in the actions of private people. The country expands, growing up by new lands, and politically active Russians are busy tearing all and all sorts of masks from their opponents. What is to greatly contributes to globalization with its covering the whole world with a network, wiretaps and visors. The authorities with the help of special services and hired provocateurs with equal success hacks the server of the US Democratic Party and invades citizens' personal lives. The Pentagon is probably also not asleep, and an unsystematic opposition in the person, for example, Navalny and its FBK easily recognizes foreign accounts and villas of impudent officials and infinitely cute dogs, which they carry in their planes.
In such a situation, faced with the affairs of the "Shali-Bolti" and the QIB FSB of the Russian Federation, and you ask questions that, upon closer examination, contain believable answers. Could, say, some idealists who know different codes and moves, set the goal of exposing or touching some Russian officials in a broad sense? Why not, and here you have funny records on the prime minister Twitter, small secrets of the Crimean referendum, documentary report on the topic "Surkov and Donbass", selected places from the correspondence of Timur Prokopenko, and here you are Aram Ashotych. There have always been a lot of idealists in Russia, and opponents of the regime in their ranks usually made up the majority.
And could these guys at some point realize that they can monetize these funny pictures with letters? Of course, they could, everyone needed money, idealists in particular. And how to earn them, this money, if not by direct blackmail, draining the unpleasant truth on the Internet only in cases where the client is stubborn and does not want to pay? The answers, as they say, beg themselves.
On the other hand, the activities of such idealists could not but be interested in the FSB, and here a series of new questions arise. Interested in the work of fans of Lewis Carroll or other hackers, could the Chekists abuse their names, make contact, and someone to turn it over? And probably, they could lead the process, telling the craftsmen the necessary addresses and turnouts that, in the framework of the merciless struggle of the Kremlin towers, should contribute to the mutual enrichment of idealists and Chekists. And who, if not people with hot hearts and clean hands, were able to put this business on a stream? Or the head of the FSB CIB and his individual subordinates, recruited from the same hackers, certainly agree to live on one salary? And this is some kind of completely unthinkable plot, given their capabilities, appetites, moral appearance ...
In a society where everything is permeated with provocation and money serves as the main criterion of a properly living life, such issues are presented, delicately expressed, rhetorical. Nevertheless, it is impossible to conduct a reliable fact, and this reduces the value of any, even the most plausible versions. That is why it is impossible to discount conspiracy thestatic ones.
For example, Dmitry Peskovcalled the conversations that the arrested Chekists shared the information about Russian hacker attacks on the United States a few days ago a few days ago. And then the thought creeps up that they, of course, were unlikely to share their information, but they could participate in attacks. And if the plans of the Russian leadership are a rapprochement with Trump, then the closed process above the huts and pests would be an event that strengthens the trust between the owners of the Kremlin and the White House. Or a Trump pressure tool that we helped like that. I would like to say, disinterestedly, but something stops.
In the meantime, we follow the news that sharply contradict a friend's friend, and we are already drowning in them. So the Shaltai -Boltai worked at the FSB, and the FSB on the CIA, and Putin on Trump - or did not work? It is difficult to understand, but it is precisely in this uncertainty that the strategy of hacker affairs, accompanied by constant muddy stuffing, is concluded. However, in the Chekist state, processes should go in which so many tautology, where spies catch spies, which either confess in espionage, otherwise they unlock. Here, a pattern is even traced, for how else those that they catch should behave, and those that they caught. So everything is arranged, and it is a sin to grumble against an established world order.
