Taxi to Salisbury! What is behind the loud dumps of the GRU

Evgeny Berg and Alexei Ponomarev are discussing possible participants in Sergei Skripal’s poisoning in Salisbury (presumably, this was done by the employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation), and also disassemble the fresh history with four GRU employees who were expelled from the Netherlands.

Procast guests : The editor-in-chief of The Insider Roman Dobrokhotov and journalist of the Russian BBC Service Andrei Soshnikov.

• How did you manage to calculate the real name of Ruslan Boshirov? And when we find out who is actually his partner - Alexander Petrov?
• What was this strange interview that Petrov and Boshirov gave the chief editor of RT Margarita Simonyan?
• Why Boshirov (he is also an officer of the GRU Anatoly Chepig) received the title of Hero of Russia?
• Why did the military intelligence officer a paper check for a taxi?
