Basically any foreign intelligence agency can produce perfect fake passports (except for the chip, but you don't need a functional chip).

Even regular criminals manage to produce good enough documents to travel with, and those guys don't have access to Heidelberg printing presses.

Pretty sure any half-competent intelligence agency should be able to make the chip too, if only by infiltrating the company that makes the passports.

Huh? As if an FSB agent couldn't get a passport..
