A video of the scuffle, released earlier this week by NTV, shows a man exiting a taxi in an area resembling an embassy entrance and striding toward the doors. The guard bursts out of a sentry box and tackles the man, who is able to crawl through the entrance doors.

So there is video. It should be pretty clear who is telling the truth.

I believe this is the video:

The video doesn’t show him “striding to the door”. It shows a taxi pull up quickly, the passenger door opening before it stops, and a guy bails out and rushes the front door. I doubt the cop in the booth by the door knew he was a spy. He actually looked like he was someone you would stop anyway, like a suicide bomber or someone maybe not authorized.
