A secret department at the military training center of Bauman Moscow State Technical University is training hackers and saboteurs for the GRU, a joint investigation by The Insider, The Guardian, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, Frontstory, and VSquare has found. The journalists reviewed more than two thousand internal documents from the department, including curricula, contracts, promotional materials, and lists of students, graduates, and faculty. The investigation describes how promising students are groomed for careers in the GRU — an organization known for hacking Western government systems, poisoning opposition figures abroad, and interfering in elections across Europe and the United States. Meduza summarizes the key findings.
