520    In The New Nobility, two courageous Russian investigative 
       journalists open up the closed and murky world of the 
       Russian Federal Security Service.  While Vladimir Putin 
       has been president and prime minister of Russia, the 
       Kremlin has deployed the security services to intimidate 
       the political opposition, reassert the power of the state,
       and carry out assassinations overseas. At the same time, 
       its agents and spies were put beyond public accountability
       and blessed with the prestige, benefits, and legitimacy 
       lost since the Soviet collapse.  The security services 
       have played a central and often mysterious role at key 
       turning points in Russia during these tumultuous years: 
       from the Moscow apartment house bombings and theater siege,
       to the war in Chechnya and the Beslan massacre. The 
       security services are not all-powerful; they have made 
       clumsy and sometimes catastrophic blunders. But what is 
       clear is that after the chaotic 1990s, when they were 
       sidelined, they have made a remarkable return to power, 
       abetted by their most famous alumnus, Putin.
