Summary:	"This book will introduce readers to Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). Since its founding in 1995, the FSB has reaccumulated the majority of the domestic security functions of the Soviet-era KGB. Vladimir Putin served as FSB director just before reaching the presidency, and with his patronage, the FSB has grown to be one of the most powerful organizations in Russia. Early FSB personnel largely came from the KGB, and the organization has continued to exhibit a similar mindset. The FSB conducts anti-dissident activities at home and abroad, counterintelligence operations, and counterterrorist operations. This concise history will cover the FSB's origins, place within government and society, culture, leaders, activities, international partners, and depictions in literature and film. This book will be based on English and Russian sources"--
