Document Summary
Russian foreign intelligence service (svr): emerges from the first directorate of the kgb. Carved out of the kgb in the 1990s by boris yeltsin after the fall of communism. Prior to that, the kgb used to manage domestic and foreign espionage, however the first directorate was more concerned with foreign espionage. Because of the kgb"s cruel history, the russians thought it would be a good idea to follow the american and british model and separate the two agencies. Main intelligence directorate (gru): russia"s oldest continually serving intelligence agency even so in 2016. The public knew of the kgb, however, the gru was unknown. It"s untouchable because it reports to a powerful oligarchy in the ministry of defense. Many russians don"t even know of its existence. After the cold war, they"ll have a huge infusion of money. Leon trotsky: a major figure in the communist movement. Will split lenin"s right hand man position with joseph stalin.
