Insights into the Secretive World of Vladimir Putin and his Security Forces

Russian political analyst Preobrazhensky commented on the recent interview with former FSO officer Gleb Karakulov, who fled Russia, saying that not all security officials adore Putin. He noted that it is problematic for security officials to flee Russia, as they cannot leave legally. Several security officials that he personally knows consider what is happening "madness, or savagery at the very least." Karakulov is the highest-ranking intelligence officer to flee the country and condemn the war since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
