60-70% of government positions that can be filled with appointment are manned by former KGB and current FSB. The KGB/FSB also dominate the economy... and even the Russian Orthodox Church! With 100% of Russian priests in the hierarchy being hold overs from the KGB days with very large KGB files and documents on them for all their good work, such as Archbishop Kirill who was still spreading Liberation Theology as recently as 2009.
These criminals, liars, thieves and killers did not reform simply because the Soviet Union fell. In fact, they got even more powerful when it did!
But now is the time for Russia to grow into the size of the former Soviet Union and Putin can do it with Biden in the WH.
