A Russian opposition activist who was a victim of a sophisticated "honey trap" operation in Moscow has told the BBC there are more videos ready to be posted on the internet to discredit other government critics.

Ilya Yashin, of the group Solidarity, is one of five opposition figures to have appeared in videos posted on Russian websites after being secretly filmed having sex with a woman who had lured them back to an apartment rigged with cameras.

The videos started to be posted on the internet at the end of March.

"The scale of the operation is stunning. It is a real special operation…. it looks like hundreds of thousands of US dollars were spent on it," Mr Yashin said.

"At least four flats were used and at least four girls took part. About a dozen people were trapped, (but)... the videos have not been published of some of those who were filmed."

Good Lord. Don’t they even watch espionage movies over there?

“I disagree with the government, I am kind of overweight, balding, not that great looking, with vodka-breath, and this beautiful woman invites me back to her apartment! Woo hoo! What could be bad about that?”

NO! LOL, that’s the girl from 3rd Rock from the sun, can’t remember her name.

It’s a scene from an Austin Powers movie where she plays a Russian.
