British intelligence is just ordinary officials, said FSB Major General Alexander Mikhailov, commenting on the fact that six British diplomats were stripped of their accreditation in Russia after signs of intelligence work were detected in their actions.
“We judge intelligence exclusively by Hollywood standards. We watch the James Bond film, and we believe that all British intelligence is about as James Bond as it gets. They’re not James Bond. In their mass – it is, in general, officials who carry out some orders,” – quotes Mikhailov Channel 5.
The expert also stressed that the intelligence of any country is judged by its failures, and the British intelligence services had a lot of them. The exposure of six agents at once is, according to Mikhailov, “a colossal failure.”
“By the way, when people ask me which intelligence service you like better, I say that I always like British intelligence, because we had more of our own agents there, who worked for the Soviet Union,” Mikhailov added.
