CG: 29155 is a very large unit within Russia's military intelligence. Its official nominal purpose is to train other people in the business of explosions, sabotage, and assassinations. And that encompasses about 400 people. Within this unit, there is a subunit with no name. Sometimes it's called K2, sometimes K200, but it's a subunit of 29155 that does the international operations for the GRU. And these include the same sabotage operations, explosions at munitions facilities of the enemy — and the enemy is essentially everybody but Russia — and assassinations. And this unit trains people to be what is known as illegals. However, a different type of illegals. The illegals are people that you would be familiar with from a show like The Americans: Russians who live under a fake foreign identity as Canadians or South Americans for all of their adult lives abroad, and they stick to a legend or cover story of who they are. The people within the subunit of 29155 are short-term illegals. They are sent for a couple of weeks abroad and their fake identity is Russian, but it's not their [permanent] identity. But many of them live for years in Russia under a fake identity. So it's a very weird situation of “illegals” [also being present] within Russia.

The paranoia is strong in Russia.
