Immediately after the collapse of the USSR, all sorts of academies began to spring up in Russia, simulating scientific activity by handing out self-made academic titles, ranks, orders, and medals. The author of this book counted over fifty of them at one time. Some of them, using unclear funds, have conducted and continue to conduct international activities, often with rather overt KGB ties.

In addition to the Academy for Security, Safety and Law Enforcement (ABOP), discussed above, several other interesting organisations of this kind have emerged in Germany.

The International Academy of Management and Technology (INTAMT) was registered in 2005 in Düsseldorf as a public organisation.

German Academy – The International Academy for Management and Technology (INTAMT) e.V.

Board of Directors:

Eduard Isaakovich Patrick, Chairman of the Board of INTAMT, Professor, Doctor of Engineering Sciences, and USSR State Prize Laureate. Yuri Vladimirovich Nikitin, Director and Member of the Board of INTAMT. Vladimir Samoylovich Fridland, Project Director and Member of the Board of INTAMT. The Academy organises scientific and technical contacts between Russia and the CIS countries, on the one hand, and Germany and other countries, on the other. Another organisation with the same Latin abbreviation is registered at the same address: the International Agency for Marketing and Technology Transfer, a limited liability company – Internationale Agentur für Marketing und Technologietransfer (INTAMT) GmbH. The company was founded in 2007. INTAMT Agency LLC has been operating in Moscow since 2011. The founders are Yuri Nikitin, Olga Patrick, and Svetlana Pavlovskaya. Another organisation with the name INTAMT LLC was registered in 2008 at a different address. Its name stands for ‘International Academy of Management and Technology.’ There are no biographies of the INTAMT board members on the Academy's website.

In numerous publications related to INTAMT, Eduard Isaakovich Patrick, the Chairman of the Board of INTAMT, is listed as a professor, Doctor of Engineering Sciences, and laureate of the USSR State Prize. However, his name could not be found among the list of USSR State Prize laureates. No information about his scientific or teaching activities in the USSR or Russia could be found online. This may be due to the secret nature of his activities before emigrating. In one publication, Patrick is listed as an academician of the ‘International Academy of Systems Research.’ He is also mentioned as the author of the book ‘The Life of Information Systems in the Age of Globalization,’ a copy of which could not be found online. As Chairman of the Board of INTAMT, Patrick lectures on ‘Innovative Methods and Technologies for Teaching at German Universities.’

The biographies of the other INTAMT board members, Nikitin and Fridland, could not be clarified using the internet.

In an interview published on the INTAMT website, Patrick mentions that in the 1990s he worked with the Moscow government and federal ministries. ‘They expressed a desire to address the issue of professional development for specialists. That's when we registered our Academy here.’ From this, one can conclude that INTAMT is funded by Russia and the CIS and works in conjunction with Moscow-based agencies. INTAMT seminars are organised in all major European countries, as well as in the USA, Israel, Canada, Japan, China, and Singapore.

INTAMT's work is similar to that of the European Academy of Natural Sciences, but on a much larger scale. The official organisation of scientific contacts and internships between representatives of various agencies from the CIS countries and the scientific, academic, and industrial communities of Western countries offers significant opportunities for intelligence agencies.

INTAMT can be considered a purely Russian agency, carrying out tasks from Moscow and disguised as a German public organisation.
