The video is available on the encrypted Telegram app favored by Russians.
In a still from a Central Intelligence Agency video aimed at recruiting Russians spies, someone is shown contacting the CIA on their phone.The Kremlin has responded forcefully to the CIA launching an official channel on Telegram, the encrypted messaging app favored by Russians, featuring a dramatized video aimed at recruiting frustrated Russian civilians as spies.
"The CIA wants to know the truth about #Russia, and we are looking for reliable people who know and can tell us this truth," the text of the video says. "Your information may be more valuable than you think." Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned Tuesday that "such malicious activity, including the distribution of inflammatory materials, will not remain without a proper effective response."
The character's voiceover, however, says clearly in Russian, "I don't believe in revolution." The CIA official said the video's intention is to connect with Russians who are willing to speak but not to ignite political change on the ground.," the official said. "They just need direction on how to do it."
The CIA had already released instructions on social media for contacting the agency via the Dark Web. The Telegram video launch, which comes a year later, represents the agency's expanding toolkit that includes open-source analysis. The video is a more tactical approach to build intelligence over time. "There's always an audience for information, whether it's going to be applicable a week from now or 10 years from now, you just never know."
