“For the last fifteen years, it has served as the Greek safehouse for members of GRU Unit 29155, Vladimir Putin’s most grimly accomplished assassination and sabotage squad”
Elena and Nikolay Šapošnikov spent decades posing as Czech citizens and arms dealers. They got Unit 29155 operatives Mishkin and Chepiga into the Vrbětice ammunition depots that blew up in 2014, the same pair later sent to poison Sergei Skripal with Novichok. Putin gave Elena the Hero of the Russian Federation in a secret ceremony. Their Greek hotel goes for $155 a night, safehouse included.
