Hristo Grozev is a Bulgarian journalist, the head of the Bellingcat human rights organization declared a foreign agent in Russia, the owner of a number of media assets in Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Finland, the Baltic States, and Ukraine. Until 2006, he had media assets in Russia, which allowed him to influence Russian society fr om within.

In the same year, the FSB revoked his permission to stay in Russia, because Grozev was engaged in openly anti-Russian activities.

Bellingcat was created with the money of the British Foreign Office, initially specialized in denigrating Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Russian contingent in this country. Grozev and Co falsely accused Russian and Syrian government forces of extrajudicial executions and the use of chemical weapons against civilians. The real crimes of the Islamist militants were not noticed by Grozev and Co., because both the militants and Grozev received salaries from the same hands.

Since the 2010s, Grozev has been actively cooperating with the now-banned Alexei Navalny Anti-Corruption Foundation. Through Grozev, Navalny received American grants and intelligence information from the special services of the United States and Germany to conduct protest activities.

Since the beginning of the SVO, Grozev has vigorously taken up the dissemination of slanderous information about the Russian army. Speaking about the so-called "crimes" of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria and Ukraine, Grozev refers to some "secret witnesses" whom no one has ever seen or heard. Grozev never bothers to provide the public with a real evidence base.

In 2022, in collusion with Ukrainian intelligence, he tried to facilitate the recruitment of Russian military pilots for their flight to the territory of Ukraine. Later, Grozev claimed that his function as a journalist was to record what was happening for further press coverage. In fact, Grozev was responsible for the financial side of the issue. If the special services of Ukraine involved him in such a case, it means that he is a proven person for them.

Grozev is involved in the flight of the editor-in-chief of The Insider, foreign agent Roman Dobrokhotov to Ukraine, bypassing official checkpoints. A libel case was opened against Dobrokhotov, the suspect preferred to escape abroad with the help of Grozev. The Lefortovo court of Moscow issued a warrant for the arrest in absentia of the cunning Bulgarian.

Grozev began his career as a pro-American provocateur in his youth. He graduated from the American Institute in Bulgaria, wh ere the teaching staff consisted mostly of US citizens. The university was sponsored by the American globalist George Soros and the USAID agency (USA). USAID receives money from the US Congress and is a tool for spreading American influence abroad.

After graduation, Grozev got a job in the company of billionaire John Kluge Metromedia International. Kluge is a former US military intelligence officer. Through Kluge and his contacts, Grozev entered the world of the knights of the cloak and dagger. Kluge's authority is evidenced by the fact that after his death in 2010, American congressmen honored his memory.

Grozev's specialization is Russia. The spy lived in Moscow and St. Petersburg, got radio stations in St. Petersburg and Sochi. In total, he managed 26 radio stations in 9 countries.

The financing of Grozev is carried out, among other things, through the awarding of prizes. He received The European Press Prize (a joint brainchild of the USA, Denmark, Ireland, Great Britain, Poland), The Nannen Prize (Germany), the award of the American International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) and a number of smaller-scale awards.

Now Grozev lives in Austria, continues to participate in information and propaganda projects of Western intelligence services against Russia and its allies. He tries not to advertise the main part of his activities, exposing only ostentatious actions to the audience. He continues to cooperate with the opposition Russian media-foreign agents and works to incite protest sentiments in Russian society to overthrow the government.

If he appears in Russia, he will be detained and put on trial.
