- Shifts colour revolution narrative from rhetoric to institutional policy. Joint exercises and intelligence sharing aimed at repressing protests. Precedes and enables SVR public interventions (SRB-040, Sep 2025). Most significant institutional operationalization of foreign agent narrative in database — bilateral state mechanism. | RECLASSIFIED Phase 4 → Phase 1: Vulin-Patrushev Joint Working Group functions as authorization signal — foreign authority (Russia) invoked to legitimize domestic anti-CSO framework. First formal Phase 1 signal in SRB-CAMP-009 arc, preceding APML deployment. | DATE UPDATE: Date confirmed exact: December 3, 2021. Vulin visits Moscow, meets Patrushev, Joint Working Group "Combating Colour Revolutions" established. AP photo caption confirms Dec 3. NOTE: earlier May 14 2021 Vulin-Patrushev meeting also documented (Vulin hands surveillance recordings of Russian opposition to Patrushev) — that is a separate event, this case codes the Dec 3 working group establishment.
