An interview with Lt. Gen. Ion Pacepa, the highest ranking Soviet bloc intel officer to ever defect: http://www.theblaze.com/blog/2014/02/10/an-interview-with-lt-gen-ion-pacepa-the-highest-ranking-soviet-bloc-intel-officer-to-ever-defect/

The very idea that the Soviet Union was defeated is disinformation in itself. The Soviet Union changed its name and dropped its façade of Marxism, but it remained the same samoderzhaviye, the historical Russian form of autocracy in which a tsar is running the country with the help of his political police.

During the Soviet Union, the KGB was a state within the state. Now the KGB is the state. Over 6,000 former KGB officers are running Russia’s federal and local governments. The Soviet Union had one KGB officer for every 428 citizens. In 2004, Russia had one FSB officer for every 297 citizens. . . . Russia today is the first intelligence dictatorship in history. It is a brand new form of totalitarianism, which we are not yet familiar with.
