Russia’s FSB security service arrested a doctor of physics and mathematics named Dmitry Kolker at Novosibirsk State University in Siberia and took him to Moscow, where he will face charges of high treason for collaborating with Chinese intelligence agents.
Maxim dismissed the notion of Kolker working with Chinese intelligence during his lecture trips.
“There was an FSB officer with him everywhere, who flew with him to China, forbidding him to speak in English and to give the lecture in English,” he said. Russian security officials reportedly searched the apartment where Kolker lived with his family and confiscated his equipment. As of Friday, no judge had been assigned to his case, and no details of his high treason charge had been made public, other than the possible 20-year prison sentence he faces.
Alexander Kuranov, the director of a hypersonic research laboratory, was detained last August on similar treason charges. Authorities did not state the foreign country concerned, but state-ownedIn April last year, Valery Golubkin and Anatoly Gurbanov, who worked at the Zhukovsky Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute, were charged with passing secrets to unnamed foreign nationals.
