What you need to know about the three main arms of Russia’s intelligence apparatus

The secret police of Russia’s Soviet era was the infamous KGB. With the collapse of the USSR, Russia’s intelligence landscape also changed. Today, there is the FSB, the SVR and the GRU, and they each play different roles.

Simply put GRU is military intelligence and special operations forces. sVR is foreign intel (like the CIA). And FSB is similar to the FBI.

They kinda got it wrong the fsb usually if never operates out side of federation territory, they're the successors to the second chief directorate of the KGB aka internal security and the secret police. The svr is the successor to the first chief directorate of the KGB foriegn intelligence/ino. The rest of it's powers I think either went to the MVD like border guards etc.
