Welcome to Russian Politics! A site directed at learning about one of the worlds most powerful nations. Russia holds a permanent seat on the UN Security Council but regardless, they are still often criticized as having 'Cold War Hangover'. The transition from a Communist state into democracy has not been a fast, bloodless or easy journey and they can expect to struggle with the 2014 Olympic Games exposing Russia publicly once again. There is a price to pay for freedom.

KBG Secrets Revealed

Politically, times are looking up for the former Soviet Union. An article from the Moscow times was published about how a former KBG hide out in Estonia is now being open for the public eye. They used a hotel where they would send all foreigners and relatives of Estonian's so they could monitor every movement and word each guest did and said. Ironically, the people who worked at the hotel (separate from the KBG) talk about how work was good, clean and guaranteed...you just had to watch what you said inside the hotel. Of course many foreigners experienced fear but some say they just got used to minding what they said while in the hotel.
By the Russian government opening these secret rooms where the KBG officials spent many hour up to the public, they are trying to make amends and make it public knowledge about what the KBG did.
