The British Army has issued a top-level security alert to all its bases across the UK, warning soldiers that they should by no means engage in any conversations with a certain Russian journalist, should one happen to approach near any military facility. The âofficial-sensitiveâ document obtained by the Daily Mail also advised members of the military to call the nearest police department âASAPâ to deal with such a âthreat.â
Actually referred-to as a âspyâ in the British media, it was in fact the UK Bureau chief of Russian Channel 1 who had been making the report about the 77th Brigade base in November. Timur Siraziev and his cameraman were seen filming near the Berkshire facility where they had presented press credentials. Their access was denied, so they filmed their report outside and left.
A Russian? Must be a spy! UK military, media accuse Russian reporter of snooping
Independent:
British military bases issue security alert after Russian TV crew accused of spying outside cyber warfare HQ
BTW, after a BBC journalist was reporting about the same object, nobody called him âa spyâ, I wonder why?
The National:
So why is the MoD all in a tizzy about Sirazievâs piece? Because, for once, 77th Brigade has lost control of the ânarrativeâ covering its existence. Hence the almost hysterical response designed to make it look as if the Russian journalists were âspyingâ. This is a bid to divert the story towards Russia and away from 77th Brigade itself.
