Russia-facing investigations require access, language, and adversarial posture that generic OSINT vendors do not carry. We work exclusively in that gap — EGRUL and FNS primary-source extraction, FedSFM sanction cross-match, RuNet dark-web monitoring, and ownership-chain reconstruction that survives a Section 166a or 50-Percent-Rule challenge.
What we actually deliver
- Primary-source corporate extraction. EGRUL, EGRIP, Rosstat financials, FNS tax-debt register, FedSFM terrorism-financing list, Federal Bailiff Service enforcement records — pulled direct, timestamped, and archived, not screen-scraped from aggregators.
- Ownership-chain reconstruction. We map the Russian layer through UAE DMCC, Cyprus, BVI, and Turkish proxy structures back to the ultimate beneficial owner. Output is a court-exhibit-grade diagram with every node citable to a primary registry pull.
- Russian dark-web monitoring. We run continuous coverage of the Russian-language dark-web forums (RAMP, Exploit, XSS legacy archives), paste-site mirrors, and Telegram leak channels for counterparty exposure — credentials, internal documents, and targeted-doxxing signals.
- Shadow-fleet and sanctions-evasion pattern work. We track IMO-level vessel behaviour (AIS gaps, flag hops, STS anchorage hits) and cross-reference against OFAC SDN, EU Official Journal, and UK OFSI lists. For context see our shadow fleet briefing and the 50-Percent-Rule loopholes analysis.
When Russia OSINT matters
A counterparty introduces itself through a Kazakhstani or UAE trading arm. A Cyprus holding is three hops down. The ultimate beneficial owner is a Russian individual under designation — but none of that shows on the sanctions-screening provider's dashboard, because the provider was built to flag known names, not to reconstruct hidden ones. Our brief is the reconstruction.
Typical engagements are EDD packages for a single counterparty (7–14 days, evidentiary-grade output), continuous monitoring retainers for a portfolio of high-risk exposures, and one-off investigations for M&A, litigation, and sanctions-defence support.
