Quote: "The search for double agents is underway among immigrants from Russia and other countries that were part of the Soviet Union or under its influence.

The Kremlin secret service promotes its calls through Russian-language media in Canada in particular."

Details: DIU reported that in March 2024, the FSB distributed a leaflet that was inserted into a free newspaper distributed in stores selling European products, Russian restaurants, the metro, and some schools, hospitals and residential complexes in Toronto.

Quote: "Interestingly, this publication positions itself as pro-democratic and anti-Putin, but that may be just a cover and a way to divert the attention of local security structures."
