After 2022, Russia created Center 795 — a highly secret structure for the most important operations, formed from elite GRU and FSB forces. At least two members of the new structure are veterans of the Alpha group of the Belarusian KGB, The Insider reports.
Center 795 (military unit 75127) is an ultra-secret and fully autonomous structure intended for the most important operations, ranging from military operations in Ukraine to political assassinations and kidnappings abroad. It was created by decision of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces in December 2022 and was fully staffed by June 2023. The head of the center reports directly to the chief of the General Staff or a deputy defense minister.
According to The Insider, the center is based at the training facility of the Kalashnikov Concern, which is part of Rostec headed by Sergey Chemezov, while the project is also financed with the help of oligarch and Kalashnikov co-owner Andrey Bokarev.
In total, about 500 officers serve in Center 795, divided into three directorates: intelligence, assault and combat support. The unit includes many veterans of the GRU, but leading roles are held by personnel from the FSB’s Special Purpose Center — mainly from the FSB Alpha unit. The commander of the unit is Russian Alpha veteran Colonel Denis Fisenko.
Belarusian Alpha veterans hold senior positions: reserve colonel Dmitry Drozdov serves as chief of staff, while reserve major Sergey Radkevich heads the 1st (intelligence) directorate.
Investigators believe the decision to recruit Drozdov and Radkevich was deliberate — they do not have a Russian institutional background and therefore do not attract the attention of foreign counterintelligence or investigators. Both joined Center 795 through the Kalashnikov Concern without revealing their connection to the Russian military or special services.
Although the center was designed as an ultra-secret autonomous structure, completely isolated from the outside world — primarily from electronic infiltration — one officer was nevertheless detained in Colombia. He was exposed after using Google Translate to communicate with his partner, who spoke Serbo-Croatian and did not understand Russian.
