Granted, these incidents are only connected by the fact that they all dealt with kompromat, but I wonder if something similar will arise in Ukraine close to the presidential election. In the Moldovan case, it was material against two local politicians during a heavily contested parliamentary election. In Russia it was the FSB smearing two of its biggest rivals, with one being a fabrication. I figure that if it happens in Ukraine it will be similar to the Moldovan incidents. Its a presidential election, but the material could target allies of the leading contenders in the election. Not necessarily explicit sex tapes, but other material meant to discredit.
Return of Kompromat
During the Moldovan election kompromat was released against a Romania embassy official and a former Communist mayoral candidate in two separate cases. Around the same time there was video released in Russia of a British diplomat spending time with prostitutes. Most recently, a video allegedly showing a U.S. diplomat doing the same thing has surfaced. The U.S. doesn't think its authentic.
