Summary

A BBC investigation has named Bulgarian nationals Cvetelina Gencheva and Tsvetanka Doncheva as key figures in a Russian spy network previously operating from the UK.

Gencheva, an airport worker, exploited her access to obtain private flight details of the cell’s targets, even coordinating with convicted spies in Berlin.

Doncheva conducted surveillance in Vienna, including on a journalist, and engaged in anti-Ukraine propaganda.

While six other network members await sentencing in the UK, Gencheva and Doncheva have not been charged.

I wish I had enough state secrets to get seduced by a vile temptress. 😔

That’s what I was born to do.

“Are you loyal to America?”

“Yeah. Well over 10% of it. I like Stax Records and BBQ and ducks”

“If you give me state secrets, we can go to Memphis and have a lovely day and watch the ducks at The Peabody.”

“Ok, cool. I know you’re a spy but the defense department is sending “reply all” to journalists so whatever. There’s no state secrets. Let’s go see the pyramid by the mud.”

The majority of Bulgarians love Russia and Putin and will sell gift their own mothers if someone from Russia asks them to.

I do feel this is a little less dynamic than stealing the formula for a neurotoxin and escaping on a jet ski with an Uzi at full chat.

I am a bit concerned by brit media obsession with naming any suspect. Sounds a big breach of innocence presumption. And considering how severe is the accusation (if true it can wait 6mènth for a verdict, but would avoid a defamation if not)
