Every second Russian in London is a spy. This is stated in the report of the Society of Henry Jackson (Henry Jackson Society) at the University of Cambridge. The document notes that the activity of the Russian special services in the UK has recently increased significantly. Now it is even higher than during the Cold War. Only in the "heart of the United Kingdom" - London - there are 75 thousand. Russian intelligence officers, that is, half of all Russians living there are harmful activities, the report says. According to informed sources interviewed by the authors of the document, this number includes both employees of the Russian embassy and official representations of various organizations, as well as illegal officers living in Britain using fake documents. In addition, almost all citizens of the Russian Federation who have left their homeland continue to carry out its secret missions.. On this basis, the report's authors conclude that London may not be ready to deal with such an influx of spies.. However, some Western media have questioned these speakers.

In particular, the Air Force notes that according to the National Statistical Service in 2016. throughout the UK there were about 66 thousand. immigrants from Russia. Attention is drawn to the fact that the speakers did not disclose the names and positions of informants from whom they received information, and did not provide any evidence.. Similar unfounded accusations against Russia have been heard for half a year already - since the ex-employee of the GRU, Sergey Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in Salisbury, Tsargrad notes.
