A Russian investigative media has found a file containing highly sensitive information on the website of the capital’s city hall.
How to obtain the most sensitive information about Russian intelligence spies? By simply going to the Moscow City Hall website, where the addresses of employees of several departments of the Ministry of Defense are listed in one document.
The Dossier Center, a Russian opposition investigative media funded by businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky, revealed that Moscow City Hall had published a freely accessible file that contained a list of “special” electricity consumers and never disconnected their power supply.
In this 434-page document, Dossier Center investigators discovered addresses of houses belonging to officers of the GRU (Central Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Army) and the FSO security service, which ensures the safety of high-ranking officials, or even places where Military units are stationed in Primorsky in eastern Russia.

The list also includes the locations of new border posts that were set up around a hundred kilometers from the border with Ukraine. Investigators also found in the document that FSB members lived in the Autonomous Republic of Ingushetia and that there was an ammunition depot in the St. Petersburg region.
However, the majority of the document’s content does not contain sensitive information. The protected electricity consumers include, among others, hospitals, transport or communication infrastructures or the headquarters of the federal or local police or emergency authorities.
