UK Spy games rock That's what for some Russians makes the timing of Powell's revelation so precarious.
"The spy rock was embarrassing … they had us bang to rights," Powell told BBC2 in its new documentary series Putin, Russia and the West. The Kremlin had known about the rock "for some time, and had been saving it up for a political purpose", he added. "I would not be surprised if Putin and his team actually used it again to assert their old platitudes discrediting leading human rights activists," said Tanya Lokshina, of Human Rights Watch Russia.
