- Abstract:
The article explores dangers of Russian President Vladimir Putin's unhealthy reliance on Russian intelligence, as of April 2019. Topics discussed include ways in which domestic Federal Security Service (FSB) gives him an analysis of the state of the country, while the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) provides an overview of the global situation, and the Federal Protective Service (FSO), his personal guard that contributes a summary of goings-on among the domestic elite; the Russian seizure of Crimea in 2014; and Putin's early career in the KGB, the Soviet-era security agency.
