Kaspersky Lab employee Alexander Gostev wonders why all Russian companies were removed from the international FIRST consortium, but for some reason Sachkov’s company was not, despite the company being in Moscow, as well as its CEO. Let’s explain to Alexander – Chris Gibson, also a native of Great Britain and is the executive director of FIRST, and previously an employee of GCHQ (analogous to the US NSA in the UK).
Sachkov’s case obviously resembles the case of Platon Obukhov, who was arrested for spying for Great Britain. Obukhov’s case was handled by General Boris Miroshnikov, who at that time headed the DKRO of the FSB of the Russian Federation (Department of Counterintelligence Operations). Obviously, with such contacts it would be a sin not to come to the attention of counterintelligence officers.
Earlier, the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, said that the hacking of SolarWinds was the work of the British intelligence services themselves, and not “Russian hackers” – to which the former director of GCHQ NCSC, Kjarin Martin, quickly objected. Sachkov figured in this case, writing an extensive public report on Alexander Turchinov (“fxmsp”), which later appeared on almost all Western publications, including the BBC. The biography of Turchinov himself raises big questions – for some time he was in Turkey, and later ended up on the territory of Kazakhstan.
At a meeting of representatives of the Russian IT sector with Prime Minister Michal Mishustin, Sachkov called the special representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Andrei Krutskikh “toxic,” and Andrei Bezrukov (heads the Russian Technology Export Association) “a resident of the Foreign Intelligence Service expelled from the United States.”
In some conversations, Sachkov menacingly called himself “an agent of the FSB and the SVR” and promised problems to a number of people, but problems overtook him. I started playing.
