      If you paid attention to the content you would have picked up that this guy didn’t try to kill anyone. He was poisoned in Tomsk and he landed sick in Omsk. When that happened and he was rushed to the hospital, this gentleman and a small team went to the hospital, was delivered Navalny’s clothes, Konstantine and the team took the clothes and cleaned them so there would be no trace of poison. They performed this task twice. He was not in on the poisoning aspect and that’s why he could not speak to those aspects.
      I wish Putin would hire me to be a spy in Russia. I’d be so much better than this. I couldn’t spy against America but other countries, let’s go.

      Hi, Ben, thank you for the kind words about the translation overall. I was wondering about “запасом” myself, but I assume he means that they were provided with a certain quantity from the Chemical Weapon Institutes, and he was trying to shift the blame on them. You may be right, however, if an opportunity arrises for a new rendition I will think about it more thoroughly.

    This is brilliant, and I'm laughing all the way through it, but, on a more serious note, what I'm seeing is that the beaurocracy is the one thing to survive the Soviet Union. You get someone from "the bureau" or "the party council" on the phone and it doesn't take much beyond a few thinly veiled polite threats to intimidate someone into spilling the tea. And Navalny used that against him in his efforts to bring all of it down. This guy is crafty as hell and was born with a bit of the spirit of Coyote in him.

    You can never exclude a false flag op, but this sounds pretty genuine to me. Agents are trained not to leak to the outside world. Once you can convince someone you're with or above them, the story gets way different. This is simply an example of brilliant social engineering. Note that the caller rarely puts credentials forward directly. He just talks by continuously enumerating familiar names and details, while the other party increasingly assumes he cannot but be aware of all the facts and be way above his head, and is therefore willing to omit some basic protocol steps. This case of what could happen is going to end up in intelligence services schoolbooks.

      I think he must have been obsessed with the idea of having this conversation, then the next step is: organizing everything and have the conversation.

    This is a deadly serious investigation of an attempted asssasination, not a prank call. Kudos to Navalny and his investigative team present at the time of this call to Konstantin Kudryavtsev. Utterly convincing evidence of the attempted murder.

    They have police around that agent's house currently and they are not allowing Lubov Sobol (From Navalny's team). She wants to take some video and ask him some questions.

    Navalny almost died and yet he is willing to call the people that wanted to kill him. Unbelievable courage.
