Moscow
The Kremlin had better brace itself for a coming wave of WikiLeaks disclosures about Russia, the website's founder, Julian Assange, told a leading Moscow newspaper Tuesday.
"We have [compromising materials] about Russia, about your government and businessmen," Mr. Assange told the pro-government daily Izvestia. "But not as much as we'd like... We will publish these materials soon."
He then dropped a hint that's likely to be nervously parsed in Russia's corridors of power: "We are helped by the Americans, who pass on a lot of material about Russia," to WikiLeaks, he said.
Russian security experts say there probably won't be anything comparable to the huge archives of US military secrets from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that the website has recently published.
'A lot of interesting facts' about Russia
Assange and another WikiLeaks spokesperson, Kristinn Hrafnsson, who talked to the daily Kommersant Tuesday, refused to provide details. "Russians are going to find out a lot of interesting facts about their country," Ms. Hrafnsson told Kommersant, adding that WikiLeaks would soon be targeting "despotic regimes in China, Russia, and Central Asia" in a series of fresh document dumps.
"If they are going to disclose details of secret bank accounts and offshore businesses of the Russian elite, then the effect will be shocking," says Stanislav Belkovsky. president of the Kremlin-connected Institute of National Strategy. "Most Russians believe that political leaders and others have siphoned off billions of dollars into foreign accounts, but proof of something like that would be dynamite."

I predict someone will be suffering sudden death syndrome soon.
I think Julian just signed his own death warrant. Cool!
Two to the back of the head - ah the good old days of Beria, Putin’s favorite secret cop.
PS: Julian, drink the tea. It will give you a positively wonderful glow. I think it’s called “Pollonium Natural Herbal Tea”.
Good. If he does it, the Russians will give him what he deserves.
Heh!
This guy will end up with a Polonium “infection”.
This tool however still is making digs at the US “Oh, we have dirt on you Russia but those scum Americans gave it to us, so be mad at them...by the way, it’ll tell you how the Americans got the information so you can plug those security holes! Good luck fellow travelers”
If Assange starts messing with the Russians he better watch what he eats.
This guy is going to get wacked, soon!
Assange will learn that Putin is not Obama. Assange is ill equipped to play this game with a former KGB thug.
Assange better be careful of travellers with pokey umbrella tips....
Pootie going back to his roots you say ;^)
The Russians will be SHOCKED to learn of crooks in their government.
I doubt Putin will lay there and ‘enjoy it’ as 0bama and our government has.
That faggy looking Wikileaks guy(among others) may have some Polonium in his not too distant future.
Don't forget the tennis ball shoved in the mouth; less blood and noise that way.
Nah. They’ll just shoot him & dump him somewhere in Siberia.
It is now possible for the CIA to kill him and blame it on the Russians
Is this dude crazy or what? Even if the Russian mafia doesn’t take him out he has just provided the DOD a perfect cover.
LOL You beat me to it. The Russians will treat WIKILEAKS like it does Somalian pirates.
Julien really loves the drama. Seems that the only thing Wikileaks does is press the upload button on the documents, but they present themselves as if they were intellectual giants. I’m guessing that it’s just a collection of geeks who got bored with trading bootleg video games over Pirate Bay and are trying to make a career out of file sharing. The Pentagon doc dump resulted in no revelations of any kind. I suspect that guys at the Pentagon get a laugh out of dumping huge volumes of garbage documents to Julien who gets to parse through reams of envelope requisition requests.
