Putin’s Former KGB Boss Heads Security For US Embassies In Russia

A company headed by the former chief of KGB counterintelligence will provide security for U.S. embassies in Russia.

The firm, Elite Security Holdings, received a $2.83 million contract from the state department to provide “local guard services for US mission Russia,” according to the Telegraph Friday. The main U.S. embassy is in Moscow, and there are consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok.

Viktor Budanov and his son started the security company in 1997. Viktor Budanov was a longtime KGB agent; he headed KGB counterintelligence the KGB branch in East Germany in the late 1980s. While in East Germany Budanov supervised Vladimir Putin, who was then a KGB agent. Budanov joined the KGB in 1966 and retired one year after the Soviet Union fell. After his retirement, Budanov began working with Americans and other foreigners as a security and business intelligence consultant

Shockingly there seem to be some CHUDs that are triggered by this.

The FAQ for Secret Hitler also includes a part that reads "Q: I don't think fascism is very funny, who do I complain to?" and the answer is the address to Trump Tower in NYC

Isn’t it normal to have external security handled by locals, that is augmented by the us services?

Why are congressional Republicans turning against Roy Moore? Does it actually matter, in the political sense, that he raped children? No, he's just another vote, a dumb conservative christian head. Mitch McConnell rapes government for donations. Who is he to make such a fuss?

It certainly has aged better than my crusty old 42 year old car. It's interesting that, even back then, the racism depicted in that movie was used as comedy and not something serious. 2017, welp now we have to be serious about that racism because it's ballooning like whoa. What the heck, earth?

I don't know why you wrote it like this, but the answer is because they are getting calls from their constituents and have no interest in defending a known criminal who is also an extremely lovely liar.

Hell yeah 2002, I had a 1983 633CSi and I loved that car.

I hope some really funny writer/directors satirize the hell out of this insane time but I don’t know how exactly because it is already just too insane.

Odds he tweeted this on the day of the shooting without connectivity on his phone because they were taking off or something, he was given an alternate phone for the China part of the trip for security reasons, and he just turned his normal phone on?

The Senate has split 50-50 five times this year, with Pence having to make some tie-breaking votes on important things like Betsy Davos' confirmation, healthcare and loving over consumers in mandatory arbitration agreements. If Moore drops out at this stage, or loses, they may lose more of their ability to pass laws in the Senate along party lines.
