“Just as an aside with no particular relevance, what is it they’re calling the KGB these days...?”

The successor agencies derived from the KGB are described by Wikipedia:

“In 1991, after the State Emergency Committee failed to overthrow Gorbachev and Yeltsin took over, General Vadim Bakatin was given instructions to dissolve the KGB.”

“In Russia today, KGB functions are performed by the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB), and the Federal Protective Service (FSO). The GRU, continues to operate as well.”

Sorry, I thought at first you meant this thread had no particular relevance. Thus I linked it to the recent thing that happened between Russia and Poland.
