“Great! There are certainly no limits to the imagination of our partners,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova wrote on Facebook, commenting on another report by the controversial Bellingcat group claiming that Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) had tried to infiltrate the British visa center system in Moscow to organize entry papers for “a couple of guys who need to visit the UK.”

The authors hint that the “guys” were Aleksandr Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, who London accuses of being Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) agents, responsible for the chemical poisoning of double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury in March. The two men denied the accusations and said they only visited the UK as tourists. The GRU stated that they have never employed them as agents.

The new report includes a story by a man claiming to be “a highly proficient Russian IT specialist,” who has applied for political asylum in the US.

Vadim, as he’s called in the report, says that in 2016, when he was working at a firm that provided visa application processing services to British and other consulates, he was recruited as an “undercover collaborator” by the FSB in order to breach and compromise the British consulate visa issuance system. Of course, there were no mentioning of the names, but Vadim thought it was relevant to the Skripal affair and contacted Bellingcat.

It’s unclear how the scheme could even work as the decisions on granting visas is made in London.

“TLScontact has a purely administrative role, while all the visa and immigration issues are handled by the Home office,” a source in the Home Office told RBC.

Maria Zakharova called the UK-based Bellingcat’s investigation a “new joke” that simply includes all of the acronyms of Russian security agencies known to the authors in the same article.

“So the FSB agents helped the GRU agents get visas without checks by the British visa center… They should’ve added that the agents of the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service) were on the lookout outside, much to the envy of the Russian National Guard,” she wrote.

Since being established by Eliot Higgins in 2014, Bellingcat has become a darling of the mainstream media, which rarely questions the authenticity of its research.

It’s not surprising as the website’s investigations, claimed to be based on open sources, are usually targeted against governments that don’t share the Western agenda, such as those in Russia, Syria, and Iran.

Many Bellingcat revelations have been refuted and the website has been repeatedly slammed for bias, questionable handling of facts, and reliance on fakes.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov previously said Higgins’ website was cooperating with Western intelligence agencies and releases its ‘investigations’ in order to influence public opinion.

In another instalment of its running coverage about the two men London calls the Salisbury poisoning suspects, the open-source investigators claim they managed to “conclusively” establish what they describe as the real identity of Petrov. Bellingcat earlier had published a similar report about the other suspect, known as Ruslan Boshirov, whom it said was a decorated special forces officer.

The controversial group said that Petrov’s real name is Aleksandr Mishkin and he is “a trained military doctor in the employ of the GRU,” the Russian military intelligence service. Bellingcat admitted that the alleged agent’s “true persona has an even sparser digital footprint” than that of the man it identified as Boshirov.

As in Boshirov’s case, the group also relied upon “multiple open sources” and “testimony from people familiar with the person” in question. It also added that it managed to somehow obtain copies of Mishkin’s personal IDs and gathered “forensic evidence” of facial matches between “Mishkin” and Petrov.

Bellingcat did not elaborate on its “investigation methods,” adding that it would publish a separate report on the matter. The authenticity and veracity of the documents, which Bellingcat claimed it got from a Russian database, could not be immediately verified.

In late September, the group claimed that Ruslan Boshirov is actually Colonel Anatoly Chepiga, who served in an elite commando unit and received the decoration of Hero of Russia – the country’s highest award – in 2014. In that case, Bellingcat’s identification relied on what it called a resemblance between an old photo of a man presumed to be Chepiga and a younger Borshirov.

This was later refuted by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who said that Russian databases have no information about Chepiga or about a Chepiga being awarded the highest national merit.

Dmitry Polyanskiy, first deputy permanent representative at the Russian mission to the UN, sent an open letter to the Post on Friday, after a July 25 story in the paper quoted him “in a very dubious context.” The story talks about how “truth is winning” in a battle against “Russian disinformation,” pitting Polyanskiy against the plucky social media investigators from Bellingcat – who just so happen to toil on behalf of the NATO-backed Atlantic Council.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014 when it went down over the Donetsk region in Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew on board perished. Ukrainian air traffic control directed the flight through a combat zone, where government troops were trying to impose control over two rebellious regions by force.

Kiev and its allies in the West immediately accused the rebels or Russia of shooting down the airliner, with Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins claiming a Russian Buk missile battery was present in the area at the time, based on youtube videos and social media postings.

Though it has been excluded from the official investigation, Russia has provided “a lot of information and material to the investigation team, in particular primary radar data,” the diplomat wrote.

Moscow also provided classified information on Buk missiles 9M38 and 9M38M1, Polyanskiy added. The missile manufacturer Almaz-Antey “modeled the incident and widely shared technical data and the conclusions of this simulation.” Eyewitness accounts of local residents were also provided to the Dutch Joint Investigation Team (JIT). By contrast, the US has refused to provide satellite imagery allegedly bolstering the case against Russia, saying it is classified.

Though raw radar data provided by Russia showed no missile heading towards the airliner, the Dutch investigators argued the radars could simply miss such a small object. Not so, the head of Russian air regulator Rosaviatsia said in June 2017.

If the missile was flying the way the Dutch investigators said it was, “the radar would register at least two or three clear ticks – the so-called echo-signals from an object, moving towards the plane,” said Oleg Storchevoy.

“To us the whole idea to use social media accounts as a proof in any investigation is extremely bizarre and doubtful,” Polyanskiy wrote, especially given that the source of funding to these investigators “casts obvious doubt on their impartiality.”

There are a lot of social media investigators on the web who, contra Bellingcat, “clearly indicate that Ukraine is behind the downing of MH17. Why are they ignored while Bellingcat accounts are praised and unquestioned?” the diplomat wondered.

When challenged about their methods, sources and conclusions by other social media users, “all the bellingcats do is attack and bully,” the diplomat wrote, pointing to his own interactions with Higgins and his followers. “They just do not have other arguments besides insults and pathetic lies.”

“What worries me most of all is that after four years of the MH17 tragic accident we are still very far from establishing the truth,” Polyanskiy wrote, describing the JIT efforts to blame Russia based on Bellingcat claims, missing US and Ukrainian evidence, and total disregard for Russian data and documents as “another step in this totally wrong direction.”

Efforts to exploit the feelings of the victims’ relatives and mobilize them in support of these “unsubstantiated claims” are “absolutely immoral,” the Russian diplomat said.
