After the KGB: Inside Russia’s Security Services
Russia’s notorious secret service was disbanded in 1991, when the KGB was re-launched as the FSB. The BBC’s former Moscow correspondent, Martin Sixsmith, takes a hard look inside Russia’s “new KGB.”
First Half
Martin Sixsmith examines how the KGB used to operate, and looks at the evolution of Russia’s security services following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Second Half
Martin Sixsmith investigates the forces behind the FSB’s political power, and probes why the secret police have become so strong and deeply entrenched in Russia.
