Alexander Bortnikov, the head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) accused Ukraine on Tuesday of orchestrating the attack on Crocus City Hall with Western assistance, without offering any evidence. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said the accusations were “absurd.”
Speaking on Russia’s Channel One main daytime political talk show “Time Will Tell” on Saturday, Major General Vladimir Ovchinsky, who had been the head of Moscow’s Interpol office from 1997-1999 made an even more astonishing claim than that made by the FSB that Kyiv had “trained militants in the Middle East.”

He said that Western intelligence agencies could have embedded neural implants into the brains of the perpetrators forcing them to attack the concert hall against their will.
Ovchinsky said, “We are dealing with a monstrous experiment… These bastards had their consciousness turned off. Then, most likely, psychotropic substances, neuropsychological programming, and also chips were inserted, this will be revealed by examination [of them].”
He went on to cite experiments carried out as part of Elon Musk’s Neurolink project, in which microchips connected to a computer were implanted into the brains of pigs and the first human trial had already occurred. He said that this sort of neurobiology already makes it possible to control a person remotely.

He said that examination of the gunmen when they were first arrested showed they had taken a strong psychotropic substance that “paralyzes the will, allows you to control a person and removes all emotional characteristics.”
“This was not some kind of pseudo-ISIS group, but a terrorist act organized at the level of Western intelligence services! Only they have such means of influencing people [in this way],” Ovchinsky said.
The host of the Channel One talk show, Anatoly Kuzichev, told the Russian “Podyom” journal that while he always listens with interest to experts in the studio, he didn’t necessarily believe Ovchinsky microchip theory.
Kuzichev went on to say “I’m not an expert, of course, and from my everyday level, it seems unlikely that these [terrorists], whom we all saw on video, are the edge, the tip, so to speak, of the most sophisticated anti-human scientific experiments.
“But experts have their own sources and their own ideas about the level of development of such things, I listen to these experts with interest, they are program are not selected randomly, they are people with serious competencies and serious reputations. At least based on this, I treat their words with at least interest,” he said.
Russia’s media had previously reported that the Crocus City Hall gunmen seemed to be under the influence of narcotic or psychotropic substances, citing sources in law enforcement agencies. According to these reports, blood tests would reveal what kind of drugs they had taken.
Much was made of the fact that the four Tajik attackers, Shamsutdin Fariduni, Dalerjon Mirzoev, Saidakrami Rachabalizoda and Muhammadsobir Fayzov, had killed or injured almost 700 civilians in attack that last just over 13 minutes, showing no emotion as they stalked through the concert hall.
