Putin’s aim was to subject all power to the control of Russia’s security forces. His generation of KGB officers watched the collapse of the Communist Party and all the governmental bodies that it “directed and controlled,” including the KGB.
普京的目标是把所有的权力都归于俄国安全力量的控制之下。他的时代的克格勃官员目睹了共产党和及其“指导和控制”的所有政府机关的崩溃，包括克格勃在内。在普京统治下，安全力量进行报复。它们的人马变得权力庞大、自负以及巨富。他们也变得不停从调遣。
