Russia’s Security Services

Please answer one of the following questions:

1. What is the rule of the FSB and SVR? Can you provide an example of a recent successful operation? Be specific.
2. What is the role of Hezbollah to Russian intelligence? What is Russia’s SIGINT capabilities?
3. Provide a recent example of a suspected/successful Russian intelligence or covert operation. What impact did it have? This will require some light research outside of the classroom.

Discussion Board Requirements:

Please answer the question in a substantial way, providing references to what you have read in support of your answer. A good rule of thumb is to compose your answer to the question around three good reasons why – each reason having its own paragraph with support from the reading and perhaps a real-world example.
