Popular game Pokémon GO was represented as an application created by foreign secret services on the Russian TV company „РЕН ТВ”. According to the TV show “The Secrets of Chapman”, Pokémon GO was created in order to spy on people like Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks. The show is led by Anna Chapman. In 2010, she was blamed at being an agent of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

According to the “The Secrets of Chapman”, on July 18 the Embassy of Ecuador in London has become the hangout for Pokémon GO players as the building was one of the PokeStops (Places that allow players to collect “items” to capture more Pokemons). Chapman’s show linked this activity to the fact that Julian Assange has been on the territory of the Embassy since 2012, when he asked political asylum to Ecuador. The story suggests that as British Police have been hunting on Assange for a long time, innocuous Pokemon Go may be the part of a “double game” which aims at watching upon Assange.

Similar suspicions expressed Communications Minister Nikolai Nikiforov, doubting that secret services might have contributed to the application.

In Yekaterinburg, 21-year-blogger was arrested after publishing a video on YouTube showing him playing Pokémon GO in an Orthodox Church. Ruslan Sokolovsky is charged with inciting hatred and offending religious sensibilities. The penalty could reach up to five years in prison.
