What does the Russian Federation Liaison and Intelligence Service do?

1In August, 1993, Yeltsin, while revising the security-related laws, expanding the powers of the security organs and raising the salaries of the personnel of the security organs, used the personnel of other former KGB institutions to form a new security organ, which was directly led by the President himself, that is, the Federal Government Liaison Intelligence Agency. This game is actually the eighth game of the former KGB.

The Federal Government Liaison and Intelligence Agency is equipped with advanced electronic eavesdropping and intelligence gathering equipment. Yeltsin used this technology in the power struggle with former Russian Speaker Haz Blatov and others. This bureau is headed by Starovoitov, the former director of the Eighth Bureau of KGB.

It is not difficult to see from the above that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the reorganization of the intelligence agency under Yeltsin's personal command made the generation of its leaders as changeable as the weather. After several twists and turns, Russian intelligence agencies were greatly reduced, and 90% of KGB personnel were laid off. It is said that many national intelligence networks established by the former KGB have been completely abolished, and Russia's overall intelligence work, especially foreign intelligence work, has shown an obvious retrogression trend compared with the former Soviet Union.
