Russia Left Behind a Trove of Classified Intelligence During its Retreat from Kherson
The Debrief ^ | November 17, 2022 | Tim McMillan

With Kherson firmly back in Ukrainian hands, officials now have the grueling task of restoring order to the port city after nearly nine months of Russian military occupation.

An undertaking that, in less than a week of liberation, has involved the investigation of war crimes, dismantling of mines and booby traps, and for the Security Services of Ukraine (SBU), searches for local collaborators and foreign agents of Russia’s security and intelligence services which could still be lurking in the area.

The hunt for the enemy within was recently made a little easier after SBU officers discovered a trove of classified documents left behind by Russia’s Federal Security Service, FSB, during its hasty retreat from Kherson.

SBU says amongst the boxes of abandoned documents is detailed information on agents who collaborated with Russia during Kherson’s occupation, including handwritten notes detailing “obligations” to provide confidential information to FSB.

According to SBU, documents detail the system FSB was using for local collaborators to provide “tips” to Russian authorities on pro-Ukrainian citizens, particularly the activities of local resistance groups in the Kherson region.

Among the discarded paperwork were personal files of Russian agents, reports on FSB activities, and protocols for searching local residences were also reportedly discovered.

“Documented facts of abduction and torture of the victims, as well as the looting of their homes under the guise of conducting ‘searches’ were also revealed,” according to SBU officials.

According to SBU, the trove of documents reportedly found in a Kherson area garage originated from an FSB “temporary operational group” known as “VOG-8.”

I can still remember words phrases and can count from my time ... but the alphabets is the easy part - it knowing that each word, no matter how many dozens of letters long, only has one accent.

Then there is the grammar and slang, not to mention entire dictionaries of abbreviations ... ouff ...
