With the newest @bellingcat FSB poisoning story, we now have a pretty extensive bullpen of FSB officers we've uncovered who work in some way on operations to poison domestic dissidents. These include...
Alexey Alexandrov, born 1981. His fake identity is "Alexey Frolov". He was in Tomsk at the time of Navalny's poisoning -- we were able to confirm this because he was kind enough to turn on his phone while there, which pinged a cell phone tower before airplane mode kicked in.
Ivan Osipov, born 1976. His fake identity is "Ivan Spiridonov". A medical doctor turned FSB officer.
Konstantin Kudryavtsev, born 1980. His fake identity is "Konstantin Sokolov". He is everyone's favorite after he gave a 44-minute accidental confession to Navalny himself after Navalny bullied him while pretending to be his boss's boss's boss's boss.
Alexey Krivoshchekov, born 1979. He spent time at the Ministry of Defense before joining the FSB.
Mikhail Shvets, born 1977. His fake identity is "Mikhail Stepanov". This genius registered his personal vehicle to his workplace address -- the FSB Center for Special Operations, in Balashikha.
Vladimir Panyaev, born 1980. He, also being a genius, registered his personal vehicle to Bolshaya Lubyanka 1. He used to be in the FSB's border service before jumping to the Institute of Criminalistics, which includes the poison squad.
Stanislav Makshakov, born 1966. He's the director of the Institute of Criminalistics and was in close contact with everyone involved in the poisonings. He was kind enough to register his personal vehicle to the Russian 27th Military Scientific Center, which works on Novichok.
Denis Machikin, born 1985. He is/was with the FSB's Department of the Protection of the Constitution.
