From Soviet bases to Paris Cathedral/ Who is Svetlana Timofoeva, the Russian

Svetlana Timofoeva is the 33-year-old Russian who was reported by the Albanian authorities as one of the three people arrested on Saturday, after they tried to enter the military plant of Gramsci, injuring two members of the Armed Forces of Albania.

From a search on the network, it turns out that Svetlana presents herself as a photographer and blogger, under the pseudonym Lana Sator.

Fotografitë e saj janë publikuar në media të ndryshme ndërkombëtare, si CNN dhe Daily Mail.
Dhjetë vite më parë ajo udhëtonte në Rusi dhe vendet e ish-Bashkimit Sovjetik për të fotografuar bazat ushtarake të braktisura.

Ndërsa në vitin 2019, fotografitë e realizuara prej saj në Katedralen e Notre Damme në Paris pas djegies u publikuan edhe në CNN.

Timofoeva u arrestua të shtunën bashkë me rusin 24-vjeçar, Mikhail Zorin, dhe një shtetas me pasaportë ukrainase, të identifikuar si F.A, 25 vjeç. Ky shtetas dyshohet se ka edhe llogarinë në Instagram “cyanidium”, ku janë publikuar foto nga Shqipëria gjatë ditëve të fundit, me makinën Chevrolet me të cilën u arrestua, por edhe nga baza të tjera ushtarake në Shqipëri, ku ai mendohet të jetë futur disa vite më parë.

On Saturday, a few hours after the event, Prime Minister Edi Rama said that the three arrested are suspected of espionage.

This was also confirmed by the Minister of Defense, Niko Peleshi, on Sunday morning.

"Obviously, it is placed both in the broad regional context and in the political context, it must be evaluated and it cannot be passed off as an ordinary incident, but we cannot rush to draw conclusions, but still the fact that these foreign nationals reacted violently it makes us more attentive to investigate it to the end. There are many structures that will work from our military intelligence, Military Police, State Intelligence Service, State Police, Anti-Terrorism. Now the three foreign citizens who, as I said, hold Russian and Ukrainian passports are under questioning and investigation," said Peleshi./A2
