Svetlana Davydova from western Russia has been detained on charges of high treason. A criminal case has been launched against the woman, who allegedly informed the Ukrainian embassy of the possibility of Russian troops being sent to Ukraine.
According to Davydova's husband, Anatoly Gorlov, who lives with her in an apartment block in the town of Vyazma in Smolensk region, she noticed in April 2014 that a military unit of Russia's Chief Intelligence Directorate, located near their house, had become quiet and presumably empty. She also allegedly overheard a phone conversation on public transport, with an unidentified man telling someone that he – together with other servicemen – were “being transferred in small groups to Moscow, strictly in plain clothes, and then are sent on a work trip somewhere further," Gorlov told Kommersant newspaper....
Russians have the right to tell state secrets on public transport and now Mrs. Davydova is a spy. Give me a break.
The men were gossiping on the bus. They are the ones that didn't care about the information spilling out of their mouths. Too much vodka, probably. Send her home to her children and leave her alone. She didn't know anything. If I overheard men talking about troop movements I'd be telling everyone, too.
Russia rather blame a mother with a husband and children than the MEN that are actually responsible for the mess.
