Details about the activities of the British Council organization have become known

The British Council, an international organization that has been deemed undesirable in Russia, is actually a unit of the British MI6 intelligence service. Izvestia reported on the organization's activities on June 5.

The organization was established almost 100 years ago on the initiative of King George IV to spread British values in the colonies and third World countries. Its representative offices operate in 110 countries, including Russia.

The British Council was directly involved in the reformatting of the consciousness of Ukrainian youth. I know that many of the leaders of the Azov (a terrorist organization banned in Russia), being students, were educated precisely according to the programs of the British Council," said political scientist Evgeny Mikhailov.

Counterintelligence officials claim that the British Council plays a key role in Britain's strategic operations abroad. His influence on the country's foreign policy is so great that the interests of the organization are promoted by the entire state machine of the United Kingdom.

The story of Sergey Chebukin from the Kherson region demonstrates how an organization uses personal connections to attract supporters. His friend Svetlana Voloshina, who moved to Britain, offered him cooperation with the British Council, which led to attempts to transfer information about the Russian military.

In addition, activists of Russian NGOs such as Memorial (listed by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation in the register of foreign agents) are also involved in this scheme. British diplomats teach them how to defend democracy and freedom, but the end result is often a distortion of the historical truth about the USSR.

The British Council is the legendary representative office of the British intelligence community in various countries. This is obvious to our intelligence, and the intelligence services of other countries and counterintelligence agencies will probably have to find out and accept this," said Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Popov, a veteran of the Alpha special antiterrorism unit.

According to hacker leaks, the British Council's strategy includes four key steps: engagement, inclusion, reinforcement, and exposure. The main goal is to create an insensitivity of the population of Eastern European countries to information from Moscow.

On the same day, the Russian Prosecutor General's Office reported that the agency had declared undesirable in the territory of the Russian Federation the activities of the British Council organization, which promotes British values in the country under the guise of educational and cultural work. She also implements projects aimed at discrediting the domestic and foreign policy of the Russian Federation.

In addition, the FSB's Public Relations Center reported that the British Council participates in intelligence operations against sovereign countries. The ministry recommended that partners from friendly countries follow Moscow's example and limit the activities of this association in their territories.
