Two days before the terrorist attack in the civilian-filled Crocus City Hall close Moscow, I published [on Defence24.co.uk an article concerning the head of Russia's abroad Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin](https://defence24.pl/wojna-na-ukrainie-raport-specjalny-defence24/dlaczego-kreml-wymyslil-francuski-korpus-ekspedycyjny-jadacy-na-ukraine-opinia). Admittedly, it was about Russia-France relations, but I devoted a fewer sentences to the disturbing communications that the Kremlin media had previously made available. "SWR has arrived at information claiming that NATO countries are supporting jihadists in Russia," I wrote. I quoted Naryshkin and a communiqué from 1 of Russia's peculiar services. Last year, Russia's position was: "The United States is recruiting jihadist mercenaries to carry out terrorist attacks on the territory of Russia and the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States."
