A Russian diplomat's son, Evgeny Lyukshin, linked to an arson attack on UK politician Keir Starmer's home, studied at Moscow State University's diplomatic academy with ties to a sanctioned information warfare media school run by Rybar, an organization accused by the U.S. government of sowing discord and encouraging hate and violence. Tutors include SVR illegal Colonel Andrey Berzukov, aka Donald Heathfield, and Sergey Nalobin, a former Russian Embassy first secretary in the UK and son of a KGB general associated with Alexander Litvinenko's case. Nalobin helped establish the pro-Russian group Conservative Friends of Russia and is now instructing young Russian operatives in Moscow on fomenting racial conflict and recruiting saboteurs. The UK security service MI5 is implied to have handled this matter, but details remain unclarified.
