What Secret Police?

Upon dissolution of the USSR, the KGB was eliminated.
Although today some KGB functions are performed by the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service), the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation), and the GRU, Main Intelligence Directorate, they are by no means 'secret police'. Rather, they function to provide information to the state on external and internal groups that try to challenge the current leadership of Russia. I was a member of the KGB, which was the national security agency of the Soviet Union from 1954 until 1991, and its premier internal security, intelligence, and secret police organization during that time.
The contemporary State Security Agency of the Republic of Belarus uses the Russian name KGB. Most of the KGB archives remain classified, yet two on-line documentary sources are available.

My SVR is responsible for intelligence and espionage activities outside the Russian Federation. It works in cooperation with the GRU, which reportedly deployed six times as many spies in foreign countries as the SVR in 1997. However SVR is reportedly more influential behind the scenes than GRU, especially with regard to defining Russian foreign policy. The SVR is also authorized to negotiate anti-terrorist cooperation and intelligence-sharing arrangements with foreign intelligence agencies, and provides analysis and dissemination of intelligence to me. These agencies are essential to my strong continued power of rule of which I plan on running for once again in 2012. I've already been making plans for the future of my great nation.
