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.
