which is a name a website uses to make up random stuff about Russia. This is not to defend Monsanto; it's just to say that Sorcha Faal is infamous on the internet for making up Russian stories (often involving UFOs, for instance) just to get people coming back to the website.

As an example, this story, in which the numbers (15,000) obviously weren't true, from 2005: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4197985&mesg_id=4197985

You can look for other 'Sorcha Faal' examples on DU, or the web in general.
