In this investigation, we researched three special military units of the Russian armed forces, known by their numbered names: military unit 74455, military unit 26165, and military unit 29155.
These military units are engaged in information warfare, but they use different methods, sometimes not informational ones at all.
- The military unit 74455 is the command center. The center's military personnel are engaged in cryptography, development and conduct of PSYOP, cyber operations involving hacking and theft of important government documents, interference in the election campaigns of US deputies, and also development and distribution of malware at the level of government agencies.
- The military unit 26165 is involved in the development and conduct of cyberattacks, the creation of malware, including X-Agent, interference in the US election process, and penetration of militaries’ computers, and also into computers of political, governmental and non-governmental organizations.
- The military unit 29155 is involved in "physical operations" that are not typical for intelligence units: the bombing of military warehouses in the Czech Republic in 2014, the attempted poisoning of Bulgarian businessman Gebrev, the attempted murder of the Skripals in Salisbury, other sabotage and physical destruction of persons or objects.
During the investigation, we studied the structure of these military units, the specifics of their work, the specification of tasks and methods of achieving goals. We also gained access to information about some of the Special Forces personnel (40 persons’ data), which we will share with you in the following sections.

The subordination structure of the special units of the Russian Armed Forces
The Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces / GRU, through the 12th Directorate, which deals with information warfare, is subordinated to structural units in the Center for Operational Coordination of Military Command and Control.
The military unit 74445 is called "Tower" and it acts as a center for operational coordination of military command and control.
"Tower" is subordinated to the Special Service Center, which includes at least 7 military units in various areas of operation. All of them are special units involved in the assessment, planning and implementation of information and psychological operations. Thus, military units 26165 and 26155 have different specializations, but both are subordinated to the main center "Tower", under the number of military unit 74445.
Military unit: 74455
The unofficial name is "Tower". Officially, the military unit's address is the Novator business center, but at the entrance there is a sign with the name "Center for the Management of Daily Activities" – the name of the research institutes created to coordinate the activities of military command and control bodies. The center appears in internal reports as the Fancy Bear hacker group. U.S. intelligence agencies believe that the hacker group, which includes the 74455 and 26165 units, was created in 2004.
The list of military units in Moscow and the region does not include the military unit 74455, and all known physical addresses of the unit are also excluded from the list, except for one – Khoroshivskoye Highway, where four military units with different numbers are located: 45807, 40273, 61535, 77065.
The known address of military unit 74455 is 22 Kirova Street, Moscow region, Khimki, Moscow. However, in the court decision, where the military unit 74455 appears, a different address is indicated: military town №48/1, Svobody Avenue 21/2. The official address is 76 Khoroshivske Highway.

The military unit is subordinated to the command of the Special Operations Forces, and the SSO headquarters is located in Senezh, north of Moscow. Historically, back in the 1960s, military unit 29155 functioned as a GRU training center. Le Monde wrote in 2019 that the 29155 military unit had a training base in France, in remote mountainous areas such as Chamonix. According to French and British military analysts, the personnel of the military unit 29155 numbered about 20 agents.
The known addresses of the military unit 29155 are: the legal address is 38-A 11th Parkovaya Street, Moscow, and the physical address according to the registers is 4 Mira Street, Orenburg. The address listed in the Bellingcat investigation is the GRU headquarters at Khorosheyevskoye Highway, building 76.
Activities of military unit 29155
The military unit No. 29155 operates using "rough" methods that are not typical for intelligence officers. Among their methods are sabotage and assassination of people abroad, destruction of large objects by explosions.
The experts list the following unsuccessful operations:
- the bombing of military warehouses in Vrbetice, Czech Republic in 2014, the leadership of the sabotage in the Czech Republic is attributed directly to Averyanov;
- 8 GRU officers are suspected of attempting to poison Bulgarian businessman Omelian Gebrev in 2015;
- destabilization of the political situation in Moldova in 2016;
- an attempted pro-Serbian coup in Montenegro in 2016;
- The Spanish Intelligence Service claimed to have identified agents of the military unit 29155 during the rallies for the separation of Catalonia in 2017;
- the attempted poisoning of Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018.
Journalists investigating the cases believe that military unit 29155 is a base for agents specializing in operations in Europe. Chepiga, Sergeyev and Mishkin were identified in the Czech Republic in 2014 and accused of carrying out a sabotage attack on warehouses, killing two people and causing $47 million in damage; they were also spotted in 2016 in Switzerland near the WADA building, trying to steal health data from Western athletes for further publication. They were also identified in the UK in 2016 and accused of attempting to murder Sergei and Yulia Skripal. Sergei Skripal (biography) is a former GRU officer, a colonel, who was arrested in Russia for spying for the UK and later exchanged for captured Russian illegal spies. He received a pardon from Russian President Medvedev and was expelled from Russia. Yulia Skripal is the daughter of Sergei Skripal.
