Title Proper‘KGB state’ and Russian political and foreign policy culture
LanguageENG
AuthorMarten, Kimberly
Summary / Abstract (Note)This article reviews a variety of historical analyses of the KGB and its follow-on organizations to determine whether and how its organizational culture may be reflected in current Russian politics and foreign policy. Using the suggestion by some analysts that a ‘soft coup’ using KGB methods of kompromat may have occurred in the late Yeltsin era, it analyzes how remnants of the KGB organization may be influencing the directions of President Vladimir Putin’s actions. It concludes with an argument about what this might mean for Russia after Putin and about why Russia’s unique intelligence culture may make a comparative theory of ‘intelligence states’ difficult to create.
