Andrei Soldatov /

Andrei Soldatov sheds lights on opaque Russian secret services the investigative site Agentura.ru that he started with a colleague in 2000. He has reported for Moscow dailies, including Novaya Gazeta. In a feature about his monopoly on a difficult beat, the Moscow Times called him “a security expert whose insights and opinion are in high demand from the media and Western think tanks.” Despite repeated questioning, he interviews active and retired officers. “Roughly speaking,” Soldatov says, “these people think and act as if they are members of a medieval monastic order.”
