Unit 29155: Uncovering the Truth Behind One of Russia’s Most Lethal Black Ops Divisions (Trailer)

What if I told you that there is one  small secret Russian unit responsible  

for some of the most shocking acts of sabotage

assassination

and chaos in modern history?

This isn't a spy thriller. It's real.

and it's all tied to Unit 29155

a covert arm of Russia's military intelligence

Hi, I'm Christo Grozev, an investigative journalist

I specialize in discovering espionage, exposing criminality and corruption

and using open-source methods to do it

Unit 29155 is a clandestine team within Russia's military intelligence agency

traditionally known as the GRU

think the CIA but Russian

this specific unit within the GRU -- 29155

is focused on subversion, sabotage, and assassination missions -- like a Black Ops division

My team and I have been investigating them for years

and tracking their operations  across Europe, the Middle East, and North America

Our research has proven that they are behind poisonings

bombings and attempted coups, all in the last 15 years

this one unit alone is  responsible for the Novichok poisonings of

Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury

multiple bombings of NATO ammunition warehouses across Europe

the attempted assassination of a Bulgarian  arms dealer

a bounty program in Afghanistan that paid the Taliban to kill American and allied soldiers

attempted coups in Montenegro

and eruptions of civil unrest from Moldova to Barcelona

divisive influence campaigns in the United States

and critical attacks on Ukraine's energy grid the night before Russia invaded

these are all the work of one single unit: 29155

these are the Kremlin's chaos agents

over the next few weeks I'll be releasing a series of episodes

diving into my investigations that exposed these operations

explaining the true stories of  what happened

and how we uncovered it

First will be an episode on the poisonings of Yulia and Sergei Skripal in Salisbury

which led to the tragic death of Dawn Sturgess

an innocent bystander murdered, by the GRU's carelessness

this is the case that started it all for me

the one that broke open the story of Unit 29155

and revealed dozens of other agents and missions around the world

if you're interested in learning more about these missions

and Russia's use of kinetic agents
