ARussian colonel has lost a laptop containing intel on military topics after a night of heavy drinking, according to Russian news platform Baza.
Baza, which often posts leaks from Russia's security and intelligence services, wrote on its Telegram channel that Colonel Alexander Kuzivanov, captain of the 1st Rank and head of ESIMO research center, got "brutally" drunk at a place called Beavers and Ducks on the evening of May 18 while celebrating the 70th birthday of a colleague, another colonel.
The bar, based in Pyatnitskaya Street, is quite a well-known place in Moscow.
According to Baza, Kuzivanov blacked out after the second bottle of an unspecified alcoholic drink, and later woke up in his apartment as his wife tried to shake him off his hangover. It was the wife, says Baza, that reconstructed the events of the previous evening.
