According to this report CRU “probably tampered with Russian-climate data.”
It goes on:
“Analysts say Russian meteorological stations cover most of the country’s territory, and that the Hadley Center had used data submitted by only 25% of such stations in its reports. Over 40% of Russian territory was not included in global-temperature calculations for some other reasons, rather than the lack of meteorological stations and observations.
“The data of stations located in areas not listed in the Hadley Climate Research Unit Temperature UK (HadCRUT) survey often does not show any substantial warming in the late 20th century and the early 21st century.”
The deeper people look into the data, the more data manipulation they find. Insert your own “tip of the iceberg” joke here.

RIA Novosti (the Russian government’s official press agency) claimed that Hadley Center probably tampered. You are changing Hadley to CRU.
RIA Novosti is citing an article that appeared in Kommersant, a business daily that is owned by the Gazprom operative Alisher Usmanov.
He has an eucation and career that suggest he is affiliated with the KGB.
