Elena Grossfeld and Magda Long discuss the evolution of Russian sabotage activities, from traditional sabotage to the current ‘gig-economy’ era.

They also discuss how intelligence agencies can adjust their response to these covert actions, and whether the general public should be made more aware of them.

Elena Grossfeld is a PhD candidate at the Department of War Studies, King’s College London, researching intelligence organisations, their strategic culture and technologies. Magda Long is a Visiting Research Fellow at the King’s Centre for the Study of Intelligence at King’s College London.
