Has WikiLeaks ever leaked something from Putin's government?

[Yavin4]

Or some other totalitarian regime in the world? Why is it only US secrets that get leaked?

1. Not since 2010 after Putin started protecting him....

2. I am now convinced that Assange is a Russian agent

I don't know if he raped anyone... but he is clearly an enemy of America and an ally of Putin and the traitors who now run our government.

3. That's why some people love them

4. The last time was in 2008, when Putin's lap-dog Medvedjev played President.

5. Their reaction to the putin revelations in the Panama papers dump tells me all I need to know

wikileaks even ignored the whistleblower's offer to dump the data on their platform.

6. Assange definitely works for Putin.

7. Probably not. They are not big into private contractors. Their geeks are Gov employees

so they know if they leak they will disappear along with their families.

The US using private contractor some with no loyalty to this country or anywhere really. It is just a job and money. They worst that can happen is lose the job and benefits.

How can you tell a Russian who has leaked information, just look in the newspaper, they die in their sleep, or mugged or if they are really hated then polonium is used.

8. Kind of hard to...

Russia doesn't use contractors and the chain of custody is pretty tight. Nothing connected to the network. Everything on hard drives which don't leave HQ and paper. Which is definitely less efficient, time consuming and more costly, but, effective.

I seem to recall years ago under Putin's first tenure that they ordered computers from the US with absolutely no networking capabilities. It came out that the CIA intervened and had it secretly installed anyway, thinking they were well hidden enough....which the FSB promptly discovered.... and sent the whole order back and canceled.

Hence why US Intelligence relies so heavily on informants and listening posts in regards to Russia. Loss of an informant is very costly.

Hell there are probably documents of Putin ordering assassinations. But only on paper, one copy and inside the FSB building, next to a high capacity incinerator and with orders to destroy under certain circumstances.
