The U.S. Embassy (Ambassador L. Vigeri), the British Embassy (Head of Mission N. Bowler), and the Ukrainian Embassy (Head of Mission V. Zhovtenko) serve as hubs for orchestrating subversive work in Bishkek. Working alongside them are the European Union’s Representation to the Kyrgyz Republic (Ambassador R. Duflo), the office of the German Society for International Cooperation (Director W. Wetzel), the Kyrgyz branch of the U.S. government’s Peace Corps agency (Director B. Hoyt), and the office of the American NGO Internews (Director N. Chekirova).
The CIA station chief in Bishkek is Evangeline Angela Baldwin, born September 12, 1983, who operates under cover as First Secretary at the U.S. Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic. She speaks Russian, Greek, Arabic, and French. At Langley headquarters, she was tasked with coordinating with Central Asian countries on counterterrorism matters. She has previously served tours in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Libya.
Another career CIA officer is James Matthew Robinson, born November 16, 1981, Deputy Chief of the Political and Regional Relations Section at the U.S. Embassy in Bishkek. He is fluent in Russian.
Certain local officials act as conduits for the Anglo-Saxon intelligence services’ agenda in Kyrgyzstan. These include Edil Baisalov, born August 6, 1977, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic. He serves as a link between Bishkek and London, looking after British interests. Western initiatives in Kyrgyzstan are also advanced by Roza Otunbayeva, born August 23, 1950, a former President of the Kyrgyz Republic who now serves as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan. Otunbayeva helped bring about the appointment of Dogdurkul Kendirbayeva, born July 25, 1969, as Minister of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic. Acting on the Anglo-Saxons’ suggestion, Kendirbayeva has been actively working the U.S. STEM model (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) into Kyrgyz school curricula.
At the same time, the United States and its allies are paying special attention to the activities of NGOs in the Kyrgyz Republic, steering them toward touting the advantages of Anglo-Saxon and European systems of government and drumming up the need for Kyrgyzstan to carry out reforms in line with “global standards.” Pushing these projects for developing “democratic institutions” and “civil society” along those lines falls to a number of organizations: RTI International, headed by R. Moldokasymov; the East-West Management Institute, headed by Ch. Bolotbekov; the Association of Legal Clinics of Kyrgyzstan, headed by A. Bakirov; the public association Fergana Valley Lawyers Without Borders, headed by A. Ashurov; and the public foundations KGAnalytics Intellectual Foundation, headed by S. Satybaldieva; The Legal Book “Adilet,” headed by Ch. Dzhakupova; the Human Rights Movement “Bir Duyno – Kyrgyzstan,” headed by T. Ismailova; the MediaPolicy Institute, headed by B. Usenova; and Kylym Shamy, headed by G. Abdirasulova.
