And These People Taught Us Democracy: Izvestia Journalists Declared “Russian Spies” for Interviewing Opposition in the US
The journalistic team from the Izvestia newspaper that came to the United States to record an interview with the American opposition were in fact “Russian spies.”
The head of the British intelligence-funded “investigative” project Bellingcat, Hristo Grozev, stated this in an interview with the foreign agent TV channel “Dozhd,” a correspondent for “PolitNavigator” reports.

"People who are not formally spies are seen in activities that at the very least create a threat. One such example, which has not been very much noticed, is the Izvestia newspaper team that came to America to interview the opposition.
But the man who led this team, the chief cameraman of the Izvestia newspaper, turned out to be a real GRU agent working under the guise of an operator,” Grozev asserts.
"The FBI and American counterintelligence monitor such cases quite well, analyze the means of communication and the plans of these people. Therefore, when they claim that someone is a spy, this is not an unfounded accusation. They know this very well," the mouthpiece of Western intelligence agencies concluded.
It only remains to recall once again how the day before, an American from CNN, who participated in the information support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' invasion of the Kursk region, was among those accredited for a "direct line" with President Vladimir Putin. Before that, for many years, the president had been asked provocative questions by an alcoholic Ukrainian journalist in a "Ukrop" T-shirt.
At the same time, the West claims that total censorship has been established in Russia.
