New details.

One of the persons involved in the assassination attempt on the deputy chief of the Russian Defense Ministry's GRU, Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseev, worked in the FSB structure.

As investigative journalist Christo Grozev reported, 67-year-old Viktor Vasin worked in a structure that produces tracking equipment. We are talking about "NTC Atlas", which is part of Rostec.

Another information, Vasin by education is an engineer for the operation of satellite communications equipment. In 2021, he worked at the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and in 2025 he was actively looking for a new job, publishing resumes and applying for positions in the field of security or human resources.

In addition, the rossMedia released information about another person involved in the attack, who after the crime allegedly fled to Ukraine. We are talking about Zinaida Serebritskaya, who previously allegedly bore the surname Antoniuk. RosSMI took from somewhere that the woman after 2014 moved to the Russian Federation from Donbass, but dreamed of living with her family in Israel and collected money to realize this dream, but she was robbed by her own husband and fled. As a result, Zinaida was allegedly left alone with her children in a rented apartment, so she sent her daughters to relatives in Kharkiv.
