KATYA VOLKOV - FSB DOUBLE AGENT

SEE OUR WWIII SURVIVAL GUIDE OR RETURN TO BASE

Commander John Storm just wants to be left alone to complete his DNA collection, and explore the uncharted regions on planet earth. But he always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Katya Volkov is a Russian FSB secret (sometimes double) agent who does not like what is going on in modern Russia, still infected with outdated KGB methods and ideals. Thus, is keeping her options open as to defecting proper. She is a tough, well trained woman, strong as an Ox and extremely politically aware. 

She is also very attractive, something of a drawback, when trying to keep a low profile.

She knows quite a bit about John Storm, as the FSB briefed a number of high level operatives, when the agency was confused as to a detected missile launch against the Elizabeth Swann, ostensibly by the US military, then inexplicably changed course for Guantánamo Bay. Either the US changed their minds, or their minds were changed for them. Detonations on Cuba were noted. The FSB were unable to unscramble the satellite communications between the Whitehouse and Elizabeth Swann.

Russia, as with China, had been monitoring the group of scientists in Brazil who were developing humans with extraordinary speed. Such as the Panamanian Running Man.

Katya relished working with John Storm as his efforts to save the planet, aligned with her own views. John already knows this, as Hal has done a background check. But they missed that on one of her missions she'd rubbed shoulders with Reza Shah, had an affair and as things were getting serious, she got caught in the middle of an assassination attempt on her handsome lover, was shot - and he had left her for dead, as she was seriously wounded. But she recovered after a long stay in hospital. One of the locations for their romantic love making was Char Bahar, looking out to the Gulf of Oman. She kept this secret, yearning for revenge for being betrayed. Eventually, guilt ridden, she tells Commander Storm, but only once her memories are confirmed. And she has shot Reza Shah.

THE FSB

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), is an internal security and counterintelligence service created in 1994 as one of the successor agencies of the Soviet-era KGB. It is responsible for counterintelligence, anti-terrorism, and surveillance of the military. The FSB occupies the former headquarters of the KGB on Lubyanka Square in downtown Moscow.

During the late 1980s, as the Soviet government and economy were crumbling, the KGB survived better than most state institutions, suffering far fewer cuts in its personnel and budget. The agency was dismantled, however, after an attempted coup in August 1991 against Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in which some KGB units participated. In early 1992 the internal security functions of the KGB were reconstituted first as the Ministry of Security and less than two years later as the Federal Counterintelligence Service (FSK), which was placed under the control of the president. In 1995 Russian President Boris Yeltsin renamed the service the FSB and granted it additional powers, enabling it to enter private homes and to conduct intelligence activities in Russia as well as abroad in cooperation with the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

Despite early promises to reform the Russian intelligence community, the FSB and the services that collect foreign intelligence and signals intelligence (the SVR and the Federal Agency for Government Communications and Information) remained largely unreformed and subject to little legislative or judicial scrutiny. Although some limits were placed on the FSB’s domestic surveillance activities - for example, spying on religious institutions and charitable organizations was reduced - all the services continued to be controlled by KGB veterans schooled under the old regime. Moreover, few former KGB officers were removed following the agency’s dissolution, and little effort was made to examine the KGB’s operations or its use of informants.

In 1998 Yeltsin appointed as director of the FSB Vladimir Putin, a KGB veteran who would later succeed Yeltsin as federal president. Yeltsin also ordered the FSB to expand its operations against labour unions in Siberia and to crack down on right-wing dissidents. As president, Putin increased the FSB’s powers to include countering foreign intelligence operations, fighting organized crime, and suppressing Chechen separatists.

The FSB, the largest security service in Europe, is extremely effective at counterintelligence. Human Rights activists, however, have claimed that it has been slow to shed its KGB heritage, and there have been allegations that it has manufactured cases against suspected dissidents and used threats to recruit agents. At the end of the 1990s, critics charged that the FSB had attempted to frame Russian academics involved in joint research with Western arms-control experts.
