The Program’s biggest scandal exploded in January 2007, when a “Kalinousky” student publicly declared that he was cooperating with the KGB and reporting on his fellow students. It was an extraordinary moment. All the fears and rumors about the opposition’s penetration by KGB agents were suddenly personified in this young, unremarkable guy.

He forced democratic activists to take a closer look at their brothers in arms, and once again corrupting the movement with suspicion and mistrust.
