Awake Goy The Russian President, Vladimir Putin doesn’t use a cell phone and he is not a great fan of modern technologies, and because of that, American spies can’t track his calls.
Take Action: This is a lesson for those who don’t like to reveal their information to foreign governments. They can’t get information you want to save for you.
Target: For those who like privacy, but trust Internet and modern technologies too much.
Earlier this month, Russia has started taking over Crimea, and spy agencies of the USA got into a silence on around the person they tried to eavesdrop the most – the digital space around Vladimir Putin and his army generals.
Secret services didn’t manage to track any communication when Russians invaded Crimea.
However, no matter of the imagination of these spies, the explanation for this is quite simple: Putin, as he admitted doesn’t have a phone that could be traced by the USA, and we couldn’t say that he is a person who likes Internet much.
No matter how weird this sounds in 21st century, Putin’s old communication methods made him a very hard target for eavesdropping, unlike German Jewish first lady – Angela Merkel, whose phone was compromised and was tracked by the US services for years.
Putin doesn’t send SMS, he is not interested in social media. All required information he gets on daily meetings with his secret services.
“If I had a cell phone, it wouldn’t stop ringing. Even when my stabile phone rings, I don’t answer.”
Even if this might seem strange for a leader of a country with more active mobile phones than the population and more internet users than any country in Europe, this Putin’s technophobia represents a part of a Russian tradition.
It is a tradition that is older than phones and it comes from a time when Russia was an industrial police country.
In time of Soviet Union, eavesdropping was so common that people learned to use phones only for those things which are unimportant and common.
In Putin’s case, they are trying their best to keep conversations private. Russian school of cryptography represents a damn for foreign secret services for a long time.
In 2009 American and British secret services tried to track Dimitry Medvedev who was the Russian president then. They managed to set the wires, but they couldn’t beat Russian safety measures.
