British intelligence is ordinary officials, said FSB Major General Alexander Mikhailov, commenting on the fact that six British diplomats were deprived of accreditation in Russia after the identification of signs of intelligence work in their actions.
"We judge intelligence exclusively by Hollywood standards. We are watching a James Bond movie and we believe that all British intelligence is about the same James Bonds. They are not James Bonds. For the most part, these are, in general, officials who carry out some kind of assignments," Channel Five quotes Mikhailov.
The expert also stressed that the intelligence of any country is judged by its failures, and the British intelligence services had a lot of them. that the exposure of six agents at once is, according to Mikhailov, "a colossal failure."
"By the way, when they ask me which intelligence service you like best, I say that I always like British intelligence, because we had more of our own agents there who worked for the Soviet Union," Mikhailov added.
