GRU Colonel Anton Goryev does not look like Stirlitz or James Bond. In 2021, working under the guise of the Russian consul in Slovakia, he hit a 51-year-old woman in a supermarket parking lot in Bratislava. The victim ended up in the hospital with serious injuries. It was not the purpose of the operation to eliminate the “enemy of the motherland”, but became a victim of Goryev’s drunk driving. This incident is the only thing that the Russian spy managed to remember in Slovakia, since six months later he was expelled from the country.
Much more interesting is his work in Hungary, where he previously headed the consular department of the embassy. He managed:
🥷 Make friends with Hungarian radicals – from communists to the ultra-right;
🪦 Leave on local cemeteries “bookmarks” with secret messages;
🐺 Organize Night Wolves rally in Budapest (of course at the cemetery);
🔫 Save arms dealers from extradition to the USA;
🧑🚀 Open the monument to Yuri Gagarin with a local extremist.
