Patrushev clarified that the US treats the troops of alliance members as "colonial armies," meaning that they are expendable in comparison to the "privileged" American people. He added that international terrorist organizations are also supported and financed by Western secret services and are used to strengthen "Atlanticist influence".
Patrushed added that hundreds of employees of foreign intelligence services and other persons involved in reconnaissance and subversive work against Russia and its strategic partners have been neutralized in recent years.
The United States and Europe are spending enormous resources on searching for and educating so-called “young democratic leaders” in specialized educational centers, who will then be used to organize coups to create regimes dependent on the West in previously independent states, Patrushev said in an article for the Razvedchik ("Intelligence Officer") magazine.
"In recent years, hundreds of employees of foreign intelligence services, as well as other persons involved in organizing intelligence and subversive activities against our country and our strategic partners, have been identified and neutralized," Patrushev said.
Subversive Activities of Western Envoys
The ambassadors of the US, the UK and France tried to force delegations of other countries not to go to Russia for an international security meeting under the auspices of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev sain in an article.
From May 23-25, Russia hosted the 11th international meeting of high representatives in charge of security issues under the auspices of the Russian Security Council. The forum was attended by delegations from 101 countries and six international organizations.
"The conference took place in a difficult international situation, under conditions of overt pressure, when the ambassadors of the US, the UK and France tried to force its participants to refuse to travel to Russia," Patrushev stressed.
