"In the old days of the Cold War, the main task of the UK internal security service MI5 was to monitor the activities of KGB agents. From time to time, large numbers of them were thrown out."
"These days the FSB, the KGB's successor in counter-intelligence and internal security, has its own liaison officer to the British intelligence agencies in London. It also has one in Washington.
The cooperation between the FSB (the Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti, or Federal Security Service) and the British and Americans in the case of the Russian anti-aircraft missile is a product of this new world order - and of fierce self-interest on all sides..."
