Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti (KGB) has been preserved under the new names of the post-Soviet security services, particularly the Federal'naia sluzhba bezopasnosti (FSB). The continuities between the Soviet and post-Soviet security institutions, coupled with the chaos following the collapse of the Soviet Union, have produced a post-Soviet Russia that has strayed away from democracy and developed into a counterintelligence state. Former Soviet security services officers are the ruling elite in modern Russia. The post-Soviet security apparatus is one of the most influential institutions in the formation of Russia's foreign policy, and the domestic security situation in Russia directly affects its foreign policy toward the United States. The post-Soviet security apparatus has significantly influenced Russia's departure from democracy and pursuance of a hostile foreign policy toward the United States.
