BILD: German RT employees were forced to spy on Navalny in the hospital

The operator of the German division of Russia Today Daniel Lang said that he was forced to break the contract with the television channel after he was asked to “spy” for the opposition politician Alexei Navalny, who underwent the treatment in the Chanity clinic after the poisoning of the Novice Family Family. It is reported by Bild .

According to 46-year-old Daniel Lang, the leadership of the Russian television channel said that surveillance was needed not for the plot, but for "providing consulting services." RT leaders were also interested in whether it was possible to go to the Navalny ward unnoticed.

On August 23, Lang was added to a secret chat (with the name N Berlin, later it was renamed Berlin Spezial) along with the chief of the German edition Ekaterina Mavrenkova and her deputy Dinara Toktosunova, as well as the head of online editing Ivan Klepov. After that, Langa was informed that he should not tell anyone about the chat and what was being discussed there. The chat was created the day the day after the “shatta” was taken to the clinic of Navalny to whom Navalny. The chat participant was another person whose name Lang does not know. This anonymum did not write anything, but probably read correspondence.

At first, the operator thought that he should create a film or article about Navalny in Berlin. But he was told that we are talking about "special order" and "consultations" without explaining who is the customer.

At first, the operator followed the clinic "Shary". But then he was asked to pay attention to the neighboring hospital for the military and remove the most many soldiers, although Lang warned employers that this was illegal, since the shooting of this object was prohibited. "His Russian authorities insisted on observing the clinic cars and nearby cafes, so far it became clear after a day: the information from Moscow that Navalny was treated here was false. The focus was again" shatta, "the article said.

The operator was asked to go to the clinic as soon as possible: for example, pretending to go to the doctor by appointment. According to Daniel, he was instructed to check where the ward with Navalny was located, how far it is from the entrance to the clinic building, how many "checkpoints" can be unnoticed and how close it is to be unnoticed by the patient in intensive care.

If he and his colleague managed to get to resuscitation, then one could pass himself for a friend of Julia Navalny. Lang’s colleague tried to get into the clinic six times, but he did not succeed.

“I understood more and more that the“ opponents ”in this matter were not some other competing journalists, namely the police and soldiers guarding the objects whose weaknesses I had to find,” Lang said in an interview, explaining how his eyes were gradually opening to what was happening.

According to the operator to refuse the order, he tried to attract the attention of police officers who guarded the hospital. As a result, the police rewrote the data of journalists and their place of work. After that, Lang no longer had to participate in surveillance.

The operator was offered to follow Navalny's associates: Maria singers and Leonid Volkov. They were in Berlin at that time. Langa was offered to find opposition from photographs. At the same time, singers and wolves should not know that an RT employee was spying behind them. It was not possible to detect the location of the ally of Navalny, and the searches were stopped.

Lang is sure that all the material he collected went directly to the head of RT Margarita Simonyan. The operator quit the television channel on March 8, 2021. He believes that, working on the RT Kremlin, he was actually forced to engage in espionage activities.

Leonid Volkov himself said in an interview with the German tabloid that “he doesn’t know that he was annoying more”: “The fact that RT tried to spy on me and my colleagues in Berlin, or the fact that they completely failed - and this is taking into account their endless opportunities. Russian taxpayers pay“ useless idiots ”in RT more than 250 million euros a year and they can not even find in the RT in RT. Berlin someone who is a public face and does not hide at all! " - the oppositionist explained.

Leonid Volkov also proposed to simulate a mirror situation when the journalists of the Western media are monitoring the head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin in Moscow, trying to establish his whereabouts and transfer the collected information to Berlin. According to the opposition, all these journalists would soon find themselves in "the most terrible prison in anticipation of the sentence with at least a 15-year term of imprisonment."
