In Moscow's Shadows 171: The invisible and invidious Sergei Korolev, perhaps the next head of the FSB

  • Summary

  • An all-spook episode, as I try to piece together the rise of FSB First Deputy Director Sergei Korolev, who seems the most likely figure to succeed current agency chief Bortnikov. Corruption, clientelism, feuds, the power of the St Petersburg clique, and the implications if Korolev does rise.
