factual mistake: FSB is not the analogue of CIA even remotely. before the collapse of the soviet union KGB was doing both foreign intelligence and internal counter-intelligence. Putin was hired by KGB. then it collapsed with the soviet union, giving birth to a number of organizations: FSB (mostly counter intelligence/ counter terrorism within russia), SVR (foreign intelligence) and GRU (military intelligence). the analogue of CIA is SVR. And FSB, the director of which was Putin before becoming president, is more like FBI
