Russian hacker collective Shaltay Boltay published email correspondence of George Gavrish, close collaborator of Alexandr Dugin, containing names of high-profile people in Europe for creating a pro-Russian influence group along with the techniques used for this end.
Dugin is a philosopher and political scientist, promoter of Eurasianism, and he has been the Head of the Department of Sociology of International Relations at Moscow University.
Shaltay Boltay leaks email correspondence of Gavrish
The endeavor to attract pro-Russian individuals in Europe is financed by Konstantin Malofeev, according to Shaltay Boltay (Google Translate), who leaked various messages relating to the activity of the organizations controlled and financed by the 40-year-old multimillionaire.
On the list of personalities either targeted to become “friends of Russia” or already in the club, released by the Ukrainian publication Texty (Google Translate), there are prominent figures in Europe and outside of it; the document from Texty is named “agents,” suggesting that they have already been recruited with the help of Russia Today news channel.
It contains entries of individuals from Romania, Poland, Turkey, Hungary, Argentina, France, Croatia, Slovakia, Serbia, Greece, Lebanon, Italy, Germany, Chile, and Malaysia.
Influencers in high positions wanted
The individuals are occupying important positions in their countries, which allows them certain degree of influence, and have either met Dugin himself or his representatives. They are politicians (former prime ministers and presidents), journalists, scientists, professors, philosophers, government employees, and even priests.
Among the names listed there are Ion Iliescu (former president of Romania), Suleyman Demirel (former president of Turkey), Roman Giertych (former minister of education in Poland), Viktor Orbán (prime minister of Hungary), Robert Fico (prime minister of Slovakia), Vojislav Kostunica (former president of Serbia), Massimo Fini (Italian journalist), Tiberio Gratsiani (president of the Institute of Geopolitics and Applied Sciences in Italy), Jurgen Elsasser (German journalist and political activist), and Felix Allemand (German anti-globalization blogger).
The list is quite expansive, and at the end, it is mentioned that similar opportunities have been identified in the US, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Iran, India, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Switzerland, England, Bulgaria, and Canada.
Hackers do not claim the attack
In the typical manner of Shaltai Boltai, the group does not claim responsibility for breaking into the email account of George Gavrish. Instead, they say that the documents and the email correspondence have been found on the Internet, by chance.
The hackers came to fame in August this year, when they “found” files from the phone of Russia’s prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, and published them on the Internet. At that time, Medvedev’s Twitter account had been hacked and used to post messages against President Putin and his actions.
