Timur Siraziev was seen repeatedly passing the 77th Brigade’s barracks in Hermitage, Berkshire, the Mail on Sunday reported. The newspaper said he had been recorded by the base’s security cameras and had been seen filming close to the perimeter fence.

Siraziev is listed on the Russian embassy website as bureau chief for television station Channel One.

Russia poses greater threat than Isis, new British army chief warns

I remembered Pierce Brosnan as the villain and Michael Caine as MI6. I looked up PB on IMDB, went to "All Filmography", and scrolled down to late 1980s and found it.

While we're waging war against Isis, it's Russia that is going to kill us all! Russia is not sending us their best people. They're rapists, they're criminals, they're murderers. These are the migrants we really need to worry about.
