MOSCOW, September 28. /TASS/. UK intelligence agencies control groups representing the so-called Russian opposition abroad and seek to give the impression that a force capable of replacing Russia’s government is emerging among Russian emigres, an officer of the Federal Security Service (FSB) said.

"Such activity would be impossible without the coordination and control of intelligence agencies. A managed political project lies behind the facade of self-organization. The aim is clear. London wants to create the illusion for the outside world that an alternative center of power is emerging among Russian emigres, ready to replace the authorities in Moscow," he said.

According to the officer, emigres involved in these projects "are used as a showcase of a different Russia, which turns out to be merely a reflection of the interests of the British Crown."
