In 2019, a beluga whale appeared off the coast of Norway wearing a harness marked "Equipment St Petersburg."

He let boats approach, followed fishermen, and responded to hand signals — behaviour no wild whale displays naturally.

Nicknamed Hvaldimir, he became a local celebrity, sparking years of speculation that Russia had trained him for military surveillance.

Nobody ever proved it.

In August 2024, he was found dead near Stavanger — not shot, not hunted. Investigators found a stick lodged in his mouth. Even in death, the "spy whale" left more questions than answers.
