This is a large and well-guarded campus belonging to the SVR. We assume that the lab for the production of the toxic agents could be located there. The satellite images show an on-site storage area for the excavated soil, which indicates that there is an underground construction going on nearby. The volume of excavated soil is considerable. In recent years, this military unit has also been building new on-ground facilities, e.g. the installation of a water cooling system for a large new data center has been completed there relatively recently....
There are unique photos of the facility dating to 2016 in this blog (archive). Having flown over the compound in a helicopter, the blogger remarked: “This is the most secret place in Moscow. The headquarters of the Foreign Intelligence Service. You cannot see it from the ground, everything is surrounded by a dense fence and impenetrable forest. But there is some interesting architecture hiding there. The SVR is expanding and growing, two large buildings are under construction on the grounds. There are parking lots for employees. I had no idea that we have so many spies.”
The analysis was prepared by Kuzma Tutov and Andriy Lysytsyn especially for InformNapalm. Translated by Andrii Gryganskyi, edited by Artem Velichko https://informnapalm.org/en/where-the-foreign-intelligence-service-of-russia-hides-novichok-informnapalm-mapping-probable-locations/

spring 2013 Zaslon (‘Screen’), a very shadowy unit established, by what accounts we have, in 1998 as a special forces unit for the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service). Trained to operate abroad, in everything from hostage-rescue to assassination missions, it continues to shun publicity. Even while researching my forthcoming book, Russian Security and Paramilitary Forces since 1991 (yes, consider that a plug: out in August and available for pre-order), I was unable to find anything much on it in Russian and foreign sources alike, even a unit badge. They seem to deploy wearing civvies or the uniforms of other units, including embassy security details. https://inmoscowsshadows.wordpress.com/2013/05/11/the-mystery-that-is-zaslon/
