Humpty Dumpty
Fell off in a dream.
All royal cavalry
All the king's men
Can't Humpty
Can't Chatter
Humpty Dumpty,
Dumpty-Humpty,
Humpty Dumpty collect!
A well-known poem translated by S.Ya. Marshak. But, of course, it's not about Humpty Dumpty from Lewis Carroll's wonderful fairy tale "Through the Looking-Glass".
Our hero, it seems, also "fell down", but
"royal men" are in no hurry to help Humpty.
I tried to understand a little about Humpty of our days, both the media and the Internet have been endlessly trumpeting about him in recent days.
Who is who?
Leader of Humpty Dumpty Vladimir Anikeev
("nickname" Lewis
- you see, he fancies himself the Carroll of our days).
Much has already been written about him.
That he was born in Makhachkala, that in the 90s he worked in the St. Petersburg media; that he himself was not much of a writer, but he had other (very valuable) abilities: he knew how to find the right information, get dirt on businessmen and officials, get to know the right people, have a drink with them, have affairs with secretaries, in general, acquire useful connections. Later he began to appear in Moscow and even "became a member of the presidential administration", where he was known as a journalist and black PR specialist.
After creation Humpty Dumpty in 2013 (the group itself called itself "Anonymous International") Anikeev learned the addresses of personal mailboxes of "necessary people" (clients) and passed them on to hackers for hacking (phishing).
It is said that he even somehow created fake Wi-Fi networks and cells of mobile operators near restaurants in the presidential administration area. All collected information was forwarded to team members in Thailand and Estonia. However, others deny this.
But there is no doubt about it: Anikeev is not so much a journalist as a PR and investigator - he knew how to collect information and turn his skills into business.
He was well known to many people in St. Petersburg, and then in Moscow - Anikeev began to attend events often "Effective Policy Fund", which was headed by Gleb Pavlovsky.
He also clarified the use of these beautiful names (in an interview Rain):
According to Glazastikov, there were two main participants in the project - Anikeev and him. There was no clear division of who would be Humpty and who would be Dumpty. To communicate with journalists, they appeared differently.
Sobchak: How exactly did you introduce yourself?
Glazastikov: In different ways: both Humpty and Chatter.
According to Glazastikov, the project was created with a political goal - "reveal some secrets that not all the public knows." Over time, it acquired a commercial component - the group obtained information by sending out phishing emails.
In an interview The Financial Times Glazastikov said that at the beginning of 2016 Vladimir Anikeev told his "colleagues" that the group had curators in the special services, who asked for the right to veto the publication of the data. In December 2016, Anikeev summoned members of the group to a meeting in Moscow. Glazastikov refused to go and announced his withdrawal from the project.
In 2005 he graduated from St. Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics; according to Kommersant he was the developer of the computer games Destiny Sphere, NetWars and Astronix. In 2007, Teplyakov moved to Thailand - he called himself the managing partner of Q Property, which sells real estate in Thailand and Montenegro. businessman indicates that about 30 sites are registered on Teplyakov, from which Trojans and fake antiviruses were distributed.
According to Glazastikov, Teplyakov had nothing to do with the hacks themselves and was primarily engaged in processing the data already received. All hacks were carried out by hackers who were occasionally hired on specialized forums.
Teplyakov was detained in early December 2016. At a court hearing on February 9, he pleaded guilty.
Alexander Filinov
was born in 1986 in Moscow, was unemployed at the time of his arrest and was on the labor exchange. Moscow's comsomolets described him as "an intelligent-looking young man in glasses and a black suit and white shirt". He said that he worked as a technical officer at MTS (this may mean that he had access to a vulnerability in the SS7 signaling protocol system, which allows intercepting calls, SMS, network user passwords).
"Everything that I am charged with, I was not able to do, I am not a programmer, information technology does not interest me at all, I am a technician, I am interested in communication, music", - Filinov told the court, stating that he had nothing to do with Shaltai-Boltai, and the charge against him was based on the testimony of Anikeev.
Filinov was also detained in early December 2016. The investigation believes that he is connected with one episode of illegal access to computer information; his lawyer, Merab Shamdinov, stated that he was talking about an official whose name was kept secret.
Another alleged member of Humpty is a 30-year-old Irina Shevchenko, known as Alice. No official charges have been brought against her, she is at large.
medusa Lewis said that Alice
— "a field worker who does a very important job - when you need to, for example, go to a cafe that Prokopenko goes to, sit down behind him and see what he is typing on his computer." Shevchenko said that she considers the allegations in connection with Humpty Dumpty to be "nonsense". Alexander Glazastikov stated Rain that Alice is a fictional character. In general, while the fog, perhaps, "the investigation will show ..."
Humpty Dumpty, according to Lewis, is a "side project" of his team; their main job is to search for information commissioned by private and official persons. In total, the company has a little more than ten people.
The structure of the company is most similar to the "clan from online games": employees do not know each other personally, but spend a lot of time together in chats. They are not paid a salary, the amount of fees varies depending on the degree of participation in the next operation to search for information. Fees are transferred in cash, sometimes in bitcoins.
After the company began publishing documents under the Anonymous International brand, no new people were recruited into the team.
"Exploits" Humpty Dumpty.
According to Glazastikov, the hackers initially pursued ideological goals, breaking into corrupt officials or businessmen associated with them. "To reveal some secrets that not all the public knows, maybe even does not suspect about their existence: about the activities of persons associated with the Russian government, with the presidential administration and some close, let's say, businessmen" he says.
Publications Humpty Dumpty signed the phrase "Always with you, even when you don't know it."
However, Anikeev from the very beginning expected that after some time it would be possible to earn money on this. Lewis achieved this goal - someone else's correspondence turned into a big and profitable business. " Selling the contents of boxes at auctions for bitcoins, of course, brought some profit. But the main funds for ensuring that the correspondence did not get into the Network or, conversely, appeared on Shaltai-Boltai were paid in cash in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
During the life of the project Glazastikov earned about 100 thousand dollars. How much did you earn Anikeev, not exactly known. Glazastikov suggests that about half a million dollars.
The group first became famous in 2013: a few hours before the New Year, hackers published the text of congratulations of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Glazastikov considers the hacked mails of the deputy head of the department for internal policy of the presidential administration to be the best publications of the group. Timur Prokopenko, businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin and former Defense Minister of the self-proclaimed DNR Igor Strelkov. "Those were great times, it was nice to participate", he recalls.
In the mid-2000s, Anikeev "gained access to the mail of a high-ranking St. Petersburg official"- this was his first "goldfish": the official had to pay Anikeev so that the information from his mail was not published anywhere. The same was done with other civil servants and businessmen from St. Petersburg.
The hackers later published correspondence between Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, secretariat of Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, head of Roskomnadzor Alexander Zharov and other high-profile officials. Often, only some of the letters were made public, the rest were put up for sale for several thousand dollars.
In 2013, hackers sent a fake message about the dismissal of Vladimir Yakunin from the post of head of the Russian Railways. In 2014, Humpty Dumpty assumed responsibility for hacking Dmitry Medvedev's Twitter account and for announcing the Prime Minister's resignation: "I'm resigning. I'm ashamed of the government's actions. I'm sorry."
Later, other posts appeared on the microblog, including: "I wanted to say for a long time. Vova! You're wrong" and "I'll become a free photographer anyway!". On behalf of the prime minister, tweets appeared about the senselessness of the meeting of the top leadership of the Russian Federation in Yalta on August 14, as well as about the "ban on electricity" being discussed in the government.
In addition to writing tweets from the prime minister, they also signed up for several new accounts: opposition leader Alexei Navalny, journalist Roman Dobrokhotov, Anonymous radio, and the blog of Shaltai-Boltai blocked in Russia.
According to information Life, many civil servants and businessmen bought their correspondence even before it was put up for public auction. Hackers were paid by more than 30 officials (regional and federal) and representatives of the business community.
The scandal was caused by the publication of a photo with a well-known public figure, a member of the Public Chamber Kristina Potupchik, who sits next to the bag of cash in the presidential office. Correspondence of the Deputy Head of the Presidential Department for Domestic Policy also got into the press. Timur Prokopenko, in which he discusses cases against Alexei Navalny and his associates.
The correspondence of those who did not make a deal with hackers for two reasons was published - either the "opened" had nothing to hide, or they were sure that their roof was stronger and the publication of compromising evidence would not lead to their resignation or to other consequences. Those who were afraid of revealing some corruption schemes and their dishonest attitude towards partners were ready to pay huge sums of money for Humpty's silence.
Affected by publications, who at least somehow appeared in correspondence, over a hundred.
Now, as part of the investigation into the case of Anonymous International, the special services are also checking those who paid for the correspondence and the materials of this correspondence.
"Many of them paid just to ensure that information about corrupt deals and tenders in which they were tied up did not become public. Now it is possible that they will become defendants in cases - but not as victims, but as defendants,"- says a source in the investigation team.
As for publications about the work of the pro-Kremlin media, the most scandalous was the leak of personal correspondence of a well-known media manager, head of News Media Aram Gabrelyanov, as well as fragments of the correspondence of the TV presenter, head MIA "Russia Today" Dmitry Kiselev. Of interest was also the disclosure of information about Evgenia Prigogine, who is considered the "personal chef" of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Finally, the last major leak is the disclosure by Shaltai-Boltai of the alleged correspondence of the assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Vladislav Surkov, which dealt with Ukraine, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. In particular, the media paid particular attention to a document called "Shatun", which formulated a "plan to destabilize Ukraine", and proposals on how to form the leadership of the DPR. In the article Rosbalt it is this leak that is said to have most alarmed the authorities and hastened the arrest of the group's members.
“Whether the curator asked Volodya about it, or whether he himself got it and decided to place it because of his political convictions, is unknown. As already mentioned, Anikeev played a double or even a triple game all the time.– said the source.
As a result, in the course of an operational combination, Lewis was lured to St. Petersburg in October 2016 - under the pretext of receiving a large amount for one job. However, instead of a suitcase with money, FSB operatives were waiting for him in the northern capital. This could no longer prevent the publication of "Surkov's correspondence". Individual members of the Humpty team (particularly in Ukraine and Thailand) continue to work with the old content, which has accumulated a lot. Some of them have been put on the wanted list.
And according to the data Fontanka Anikeev was detained by military counterintelligence officers who began to develop Shaltai-Boltai after the group published documents related to the Ministry of Defense:
“We were sadly convinced of the complete incompetence of employees of a number of departments of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in the field of information security, and more specifically, of criminal negligence. Unencrypted official documents were transmitted through free mail services such as yandex.ru, mail.ru and American gmail, often constituting classified information related to the defense capability of the Russian Federation". (Something reminds me of a story that happened recently in another country...)
Anikeev was detained and then arrested. The FSB SU charged him under article 272 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ( Illegal access to computer information). Lewis, already at the second interrogation, began to cooperate with the investigation and give information about literally everything that he knows. What exactly Anikeev said is unclear.
However, in December 2016, employees FSB Information Security Center Mikhailov and Dokuchaev . At the same time, Surkov's chief of staff resigned from his post. Alexander Pavlov . Newspaper Vedomosti linked this personnel change with the leak of "Surkov's correspondence" to a Ukrainian website.
Anikeev’s lawyer stated that his client was not connected with and did not know the FSB officers detained in the case of treason (while Rosbalt claimed that they were arrested precisely because of his testimony). On January 30, the court extended his arrest until March 8, 2017.
To be continued
Like on Valdai Island,
There lived one Humpty Dumpty.
The forest is all around, there is a hut,
An animal sits on a chain.
Toli owl, toli cat,
Who will understand the animal.
Tired of living alone
Scarecrow - meow.
Guards Humpty's sleep
After all, he will wake up and get sick.
Day and night non-stop
She says it's all to no avail.
He was small in stature, had a snub nose,
All woolly, barefoot.
Like buttons eyes
Lop-eared like a goat.
Somehow at dawn in the morning,
He woke up in January.
I opened my eyes and I couldn't see the sun.
After all, a hut without a window.
Stretched and yawned
Hands, legs pulled.
Feet dropped to the floor
The mouth opened and ... shut up.
Talking about cockroaches
About beetles, that there are no glasses,
What did he sleep for the summer,
That has not seen the world for a long time ...
The hut chatted for an hour.
He got angry, then he laughed.
He wore a hat over his ears
The door opened, stunned ...
The snow lies, the frost is fierce.
You will not notice how it will blow.
After all, one lives like a finger,
And no one is waiting for him ...
Staggered near the house,
Chatted between the trees
Gotta find a girlfriend
What to walk around the forest around.
And went Humpty Dumpty
For the bride in Altai.
He walked and walked straight
Because I'm so used to it.
Through the swamp, through the forest
Climbed into the forest.
Scared a bear in the thicket -
As asked his deeds.
What are you? - He waved his hand...
I'm a friend! Where? Wait!
And again on the road, on the road -
Do not take a nap or rest.
And so it went day and night
I saw the mountain with my own eyes.
-It's Altai Mountain!
So came Humpty Dumpty.
Began to question the animals
Where he lives, after all, they know better,
Where does Humpty live?
Dear Chatterbox?
The animals tell him
In secret and in the ear,
What lives - staggers.
If you don't find it, it's chattering.
All spring I waited for the hostess.
I waited in the hut, on the lawn.
The nearest forest came out
On a pine, searched, climbed.
Suddenly I heard noise and din
Someone is jumping on the trunks
Sobs, then laughs -
Someone is talking.
Flies out of the thicket
Skirt branches sweeping
Sundress, on her sweatshirt -
Then she ... Humpty-dumpty.
The guest immediately saw
She ran up and said
That he came to her and is glad!
Valdai is far away, not near!
You listen to tell!
I'm sitting alone in the wilderness!
Went looking for mushrooms
Last year's snows...
And Humpty… started talking.
What did you gather mushrooms
That she is bored without help,
What trampled her feet to death ...
Describe where you've been
Gathered cedar cones
And grinded everything incessantly
He realized that it was all useless.
And she told him ... geranium ...
That she is too lazy to get up early,
That she is too lazy to wash the pots,
Gathering roots...
After all, I learned from the magpie,
What did not come lopsided,
What came to marry her
And I had to come back.
Humpty couldn't stand it
Cursed all Siberia, Altai,
And sideways, sideways, sideways...
He darted home silently.
Ran through the windbreak
He remembered Valdai and the house.
He ran and followed
What a wonderful life she had...
Walked silently humpty talk
Silence ... this is paradise.
And since then Humpty is a silent
Talkative became like a boulder.
Lived and lived in his hut
On a dense forest edge.
Reviews
And I come from Altai,
and met that Humpty
he went west, he was silent,
I've seen Shaltayka...
We were on the way with him
walk a couple of thousand miles
he was silent all the way
silently we reached the Volga.
There he found a bride
and she was from the local
always ready to listen
didn't say a word.
Here's a clue:
no need to go far.
Wonderful fairy tale! Thanks, Sergey!
Victor, thank you for visiting... I'm glad you liked it... I've lived in East Kazakhstan (where the name is given... as Rudny Altai) for more than 30 years... Wait on your page, I want to get acquainted with your poems.

In "Through the Looking Glass"
Initially, the verse about Humpty Dumpty was included in The Tales of Mother Goose. In modern English, the word "humpty dumpty" (humpty dumpty) has two meanings: "fatty-shorty" and "a thing that has fallen or broken and unrepairable."
Historically, the Humpty Dumpty is believed to have been a large fortification weapon. The story of him is connected with the events of the civil war in England (1642-1649), which took place during the siege of the city of Colchester by Cromwell's supporters in the summer of 1648. The Royalists heavily fortified Colchester. A huge cannon, colloquially called "Humpty-Dumpty" ("Humpty Dumpty"), was mounted on a wall next to St. Mary's Church. During the siege, the parliamentarians managed to damage the wall below the Humpty Dumpty with a cannon shot, and the gun fell to the ground. The royalists tried to install "Humpty Dumpty" on another part of the wall. However, the cannon was so heavy that "all the king's men and all the king's horses were unable to lift it again." As a result, the royalist forces were severely undermined and the strategically important Colchester fell after an 11-week siege.
Saying goodbye to Alice, Humpty Dumpty says that the next time they meet, he will not recognize her, because he cannot distinguish her face from the faces of other people. Thus, Lewis Carroll gives one of the first descriptions of prosopagnosia - a mental disorder, expressed in the inability to recognize faces. Informally, this disorder is sometimes referred to as "Humpty Dumpty Syndrome".
A line from a poem about Humpty Dumpty was chosen by R. P. Warren as the title of his famous novel All the King's Men.
Currently, the character is not forgotten. His image was used in the Kinder Surprise commercial.

Having a small child and reading the same poems and stories a hundred times a day, you begin to pronounce the text mechanically while extraneous processes occur in your head: for example, the rhyme about Humpty Dumpty in Marshak's translation. After all, this is just a very famous character in English classic rhymes, and this legendary fall must mean something.
The meaning of the phrase Humpty Dumpty.
Egg Man
Humpty Dumpty (English) Humpty Dumpty) - in dictionaries of the late 17th century "humpty-dumpty" defined as "a boiled ale-and-brandy drink"(something like warm ale with brandy).
In modern English the word "humpty dumpty" has two meanings: "fat shorty" and "a thing that has fallen or broken and unrepairable."
Dumpty gained fame after he became the hero of Lewis Carroll's book "Through the Looking-Glass", where he looks like a large humanoid egg with a tie. He sits in Turkish on a high wall and acts as a sage through the looking glass, who helps Alice to comprehend the meaning of the words from the poem about Jabberwocky. After the fall of Humpty Dumpty, the White King sends "all the king's cavalry, all the king's men" ( all the King's horses and all the King's men) in order to collect it.
There is a version that the poem "Humpty Dumpty" was dedicated to King Richard III, who really fell from the wall during the battle of 1485. From a historical perspective, the Humpty Dumpty is believed to have been a large fortification weapon.
Words of a song about Humpty Dumpty.
original text is:
Humpty dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
There is another version of the poem:
Humpty dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty dumpty had a great fall;
threescore men and threescore more,
Could not place Humpty as he was before.
In Russian the verse is known in the translation of S. Ya. Marshak:
Humpty Dumpty
Sat on the wall.
Humpty Dumpty
Fell off in a dream.
All royal cavalry
All the king's men
Can't Humpty
Can't Chatter
Humpty Dumpty,
Dumpty-Humpty,
Humpty Dumpty collect!
