Jesus, as a Russian - it never ceases to amuse me when these people start to make things up.
Kompromat is not a trick, not something invented by KGB\FSB\whoever. This is just a word (a combination of two words, actually - 'компрометирующий материал' or compromising materials) that describes some formal evidence agains a person.
Even wiki has some bullshit - "about a politician or other public figure". No, it has nothing to do with being public person or anything like that.
