BuzzFeed report, based on documents and view an anonymous source said that Moscow is aware of the operations of Cisco, Cisco accused of changing sales records and book deals with a false name to the client after sanctions began. In one case, Cisco has sold material that wound through the hands of the FSB, the successor to the KGB, but the records do not indicate FSB was the prospective purchaser.
