This is the case of a letter from a member of the FSB, the main Russian intelligence service, leaked on Facebook this Friday, March 4 at 9:37 CET by Vladimir Osechkin (an automated copy is now available on archive.ph). Osechkin is a Russian citizen and human rights activist based in France. He is the founder of Gulagu.net, an NGO that brings together relatives of prisoners and independent human rights activists. Last year he leaked images of the torture practiced by the Putin regime in his prisons, which is why the Kremlin has blacklisted him and has even literally put a price on his head.
On the authenticity of that letter, Osechkin has pointed out in the comments of that entry that that member of the FSB who has already sent them information previously, but warns: “a certain bias and professional deformation is felt.” I have decided to publish a translation of the letter (the original is in Russian) because it says many things that I find interesting and that it would be very strange if the Kremlin had leaked it, since it leaves the Putin regime quite bad. However, I encourage you to be critical of the reading and to bear in mind that, even if it is an authentic letter, its author may be conditioned by various factors (starting with the anguish and stress perceived in the text), which It leads him to be something tremendous.
Let’s go, without further ado, with the letter (I have put certain parts in bold for their relevance and to make the reading less heavy, and I make some annotations in brackets to provide information that makes the reading more understandable):
[...]
Kadyrov [Ramzan Kadyrov, the president of Chechnya] is going crazy. And the conflict almost started with us – perhaps even the Ukrainians threw out misinformation that it was we who handed over the routes of Kadyrov’s special forces in the first days of the operation. They were covered there on the march in a terrible way, they hadn’t started fighting yet, but they were just torn to piecesin places. And that’s it: it was the FSB that leaked the routes to the Ukrainians. I don’t have that information, I’ll leave 1-2% for reliability (it can’t be completely ruled out either).
The blitzkrieg failed.
[... to bottom ...]
On the state of mind of this member of the FSB, Osechkin comments: “Never before has this Gulagu.net source spoken swear words, written short and direct. But even now he…” Whether the data provided by this FSB source is true, what it reveals is a great confusion in the Russian intelligence service and poor planning of the invasion of Ukraine, something that was already demonstrated by the fact that Today, March 6, the day that the Russian plans captured by the Ukrainians indicated as the end of the operation, the Russian forces are still a long way from achieving their objectives.
