The recordings made in secret ministries and departments, the photos of officers they do not suspect have been revealed, would be difficult for even the most irate Russophile to challenge.
The incredible spy thriller, which has been running for hours, first featured Bulgarian officers working for a fee for foreign intelligence.
The dismantling of the large-scale spy ring on key Bulgarian security structures, such as Military Intelligence, the Defense Ministry and the National Assembly, certainly shocked the “non-professional” public. With the cameras they filmed these native officers taking secret material about NATO sites, military exercises, CIA secrets, and then counting the currency received for the service rendered. After the shock comes reality: Bulgaria, as a member of NATO, is a country in which Russian special services have naturally shown a greater interest for years.
However, no foreigners are in custody, nor will the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry want the expulsion of the seventh Russian diplomat in recent years. And that’s different in the new spy thriller. Our compatriots, recruited, if we believe the records, for 2 or 3 thousand levs, by their actions prove that

And the GRU, the General Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, is the central foreign intelligence body of the Ministry of Defense.
The method of structuring and functioning of the group is described in the old textbooks of the KGB, whose successor today is the GRU. According to sources from our special services, who have been monitoring the spies since last September, they have never had direct contact with a Russian spy. The information was collected by local resident Ivan Iliev, who transmitted it to the foreign service through a perfect intermediary: his wife, who is also a Russian citizen. This is, at first glance, the logical reason

According to the unofficial analysis, the operation of our services will seriously affect the interests of the GRU, since no individual spies have been identified, but a whole network of informants.
Building such a conspiratorial pool of sources that they have access to specific information takes years. Officials and officers who would succumb to such an offer must first be identified, then investigated, motivated, and trained. And after all this, eventually to hire and perform specific tasks with which to sell the national interest.
It is not yet known whether the recruiter or any of the officers made a mistake in hitting the group. It was not understood from the press conference of the Prosecutor’s Office.

Sources of the special services advise not to speculate that Thursday’s operation was a coup against a spy ring, which was working in the interests of the successor of the KGB – GRU. According to them, the most valuable thing is that a channel of transmission of the interests of Euro-Atlantic Bulgaria has been blocked. And more: that the counterintelligence and the prosecution in the last two years are taking actions that until recently were considered unrealistic. Previous cases with

with comments that there was no evidence of espionage. The situation with the arrested Bulgarians and the content of the recorded conversations is already a definitive confirmation of the enduring interest of the Russian services in the Balkans.
The prosecution recalls that the coverage of this interest in Bulgarian territory began in the fall of 2019, when one of the leaders of the Russophiles in our country, Nikolai Malinov, was charged and the former Russian intelligence general Leonid Reshetnikov was prohibited from entering. Konstantin Malofeev, who tried to seize the assets of the bankrupt Corporate Commercial Bank.
But what caused this commotion in Sofia on Thursday, when the capital was literally blockaded? Because these are not the next elections, since such an operation is being prepared and implemented, if not for years, at least for many months. Only a Malinov, who has returned to politics, can seek pre-election arguments in the actions of the special services. From there, they explain without much detail taking urgent action.

Senior spies describe captured spies as weak professionals. They also believe that no secret service in the world is insured against such traitors working for foreign countries. The important thing, according to them, is that the special services in our country demonstrate that there is a mechanism through which to stop espionage activity in the interest of another person quickly enough. According to these scouts, the real challenge and professionalism of their colleagues was in the evidence gathered: recordings of conversations, monitoring and filming in offices, meetings in restaurants and even night operations.

In our country, such an investigation, in which the entire group of spies was discovered, has no analogue since the Cold War. There are many cases of espionage in Bulgaria, among them only the disclosure of the diploma Ivan-Asen Hristov Georgiev, who was sentenced to death for espionage in favor of the United States at the end of 1963, and against Dr. Radan Sarafov, discovered while bringing to several western countries.
