Molfar analysts received information about employess of the Russian GRU from their network of informants in the Russian Federation and recently released their private data. In the leak are are names, dates of birth, passport data, home addresses and cars regisered to the individuals.
With the help of this data we can build a profile of the average spy working for Russia's notorious foreign intelligence directorate accused of meddling in the US election process and responsible for preparing and conducintg illegal armed invasions of countries, most recently Ukraine.
The leak identifies 900 GRU officers from different regions and walks of life and provides a snapshot of the people working for the GRU. To profile our average GRU agent, we'll look at:
- Name
- Age
- Car owned
- Likely salary (based on most popular car)
What is your name, Как вас зовут?
If you work in the GRU, your first name is likely Kuznetsov and your last name, Alexandrovich. In the table below are the top three names in the GRU. Pick one that suits you and you'll be sure not to raise suspicion!
Rank, First name, Last name
1. Kuznetsov, Alexandrovich
2. Smirnov, Vladimirovich
3. Marchenko, SergeevichHow old are you, Сколько тебе лет?
The average age in the GRU is 38 and, as a GRU officer, you're likely between 30-50 years old. One of the perks of working as an intelligence officer in Russia is that you retire early, usually before 50.
Shockingly there are two instances of minors working for the GRU. Sofya and Ivan were born in 2009 and are 15. Unfortunately, we don't know much more about them.
- Davydovskaya Sofya, 05-01 2009
- Soldatov Ivan Alekseevich, 18-03-2009What is your "bond" car?
While James Bond loves his Aston Martin, our GRU officers prefer KIA, Toyota, and Nissan. Although there were 44 different car brands, none of them were luxury sports cars.
KIA is the most popular brand and the most common car is a seven year old KIA Rio 2017.
If KIA isn't your style, then, the following models from the top three brands could be more to your liking:

12 KIA RIO 2016
13 KIA RIO 2017
27 NISSAN MAXIM 1996
31 NISSAN QASHQAI 2011
43 TOYOTA AVENSIS 2008
45 TOYOTA CAMRY 2002
49 TOYOTA CAMRY 2011
52 TOYOTA CAMRY 2016
57 TOYOTA COROLLA 2008
61 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 2014
70 TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID 2008Where do you work?
Military Unit 40273 is the most frequent military unit in the data leak, however, the leak is patchy so it's hard to generalise where GRU officers work. I've listed the names of GRU officers and the unit they belong to.
