This 2002 statement from the RUSGLOBUS – MIR RUSLYAN (RG-MR) administration, led by Evgeny Limanov, alleges a coordinated 'special operation' by Russian intelligence services involving journalist Alexander Khinshtein and alleged provocateur Oleg Sultanov. The document refutes claims published in Moskovsky Komsomolets that Sultanov successfully infiltrated Boris Berezovsky's circle through RG-MR, asserting instead that Sultanov was a failed blackmailer and thief. It explicitly links the timing of these attacks—which included cyber warfare and a physical burglary of Limanov's home—to the release of Akhmed Zakayev in Denmark and the legal aid provided by Alex Goldfarb's Foundation for Civil Liberties. The RG-MR administration characterises these provocations as a clumsy 'asymmetric response' by the Putin regime against the 'Berezovsky group' and other opposition forces. The document also details Sultanov's previous claims of being a 'mole' for the SVR (formerly PGU) and his unsuccessful attempts to secure funding from Berezovsky-linked entities.
