Putin's political success through intelligence experience

With the taking on 5 / 11 every year as "On Intelligence", Putin clearly shows RGU ambition to return to their glory as the Soviet-era KGB.In Russia, November 5 every year will be "on intelligence" to celebrate a century espionage leading powers of this world. On this particular product is not left over from Soviet times, but by President Putin, a top spy Soviet era, founded in 2000.But this is not an attempt to re-honor the Soviet-era spy (because most of them have switched industries after the Soviet collapse in 1991). Instead, Putin is the purpose of honoring the Russian spy in the current period of peace.
Like China, Russia also understand the value of information technology through foreign espionage and the country needs a lot of skilled agents for array operations.
While Putin was a KGB veteran, most government officials had Russia not currently active in this field. Of the 100 top officials of the current Russian government, only about a dozen people each activity in the KGB.
But the influence of the KGB in the Russian government is real, though not a clear rule. Much of KGB officials felt the public sector activities in today's much more comfortable. KGB is considered to be the focus of all those "best and the most shining" under Soviet times.A century of operation, the KGB has contributed greatly to the splendor of a Soviet state
The smart people after leaving KGB, works very well in all areas of civil Russia in a new state.
Putin tries to create an intelligence agency KGB model in the current period. Five years ago, he has invested $ 300 million to open GRU headquarters (similar to the U.S. defense and intelligence).
This is just one example that Russia is interested in the intelligence field. The broad area of ​​62,200 m2 GRU includes the latest equipment to cater for the smallest activities of Russian intelligence.
During the past five years, revenues from oil exports rise, the more Russians to invest in more intelligence. After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Russian intelligence operations has been reduced significantly, even many Russian spies operating abroad have defected and sale of secrets to the West.
Now, with the expansion of investment in KGB, Russia hopes to further expand foreign intelligence operations for the 21st century.Through the years of activity in the KGB, Putin has achieved much success in charge of the highest position of the new Russia
These changes are mostly due to the impact of Prime Minister Putin. But now Russia is still hope of KGB activities will follow the path as each has in the past is to enhance the collection of modern technology from other nations.
Under Soviet times, Russia limited the export of weapons technology and enhance their collection or buy new technology from outside.
According to the U.S. strategy, at present there are about 100 Russian spies operating in America, and about 20 to 40 agents in countries with different development industry. However, Russia also faces a shortage of good and rich agents as confidential under Soviet times.
Even Putin is warning about the current capabilities of existing agents. By taking 5 November every year is the traditional day of Russian intelligence, KGB Putin hopes and RGU will follow the success and glory of the Russian intelligence under Soviet times.
