Books, Manuscripts
The dissolution of the Soviet Union was obviously a defeat for the Communist Party, but more surprisingly it was a victory for the ruthless State Security Committee, the KGB. Today its successor, the FSB (Federal Security Service), is firmly in control of Russia through the person of Vladimir Putin, a former KGB operative and FSB director. 'From Red Terror to Mafia State' details how the state security organization seized power over Russia, and explains how the FSB doesn't just silence domestic dissenters but also threatens the outside world.
