A sociologist spoke about a recruitment attempt by Russian intelligence services
Yevgeny Shtorn, development manager for the Center for Independent Sociological Research (CISSR), told Novaya Gazeta about the FSB's attempt to recruit him. On December 7, 2017, Storn arrived at the department of the Federal Migration Service of St. Petersburg to resolve the issue of obtaining Russian citizenship. In 2011, a native of Kazakhstan was told that the Russian passport was issued to him unreasonably.
