NADIA PETROVA - FORMER KGB 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.

Nadia Petrova is a former Russian KGB agent who worked at the Kremlin in Moscow. In the world of espionage, there are operatives who do not share the sometimes lunatic ideals of their so-called elected leaders. Ms Petrova is one such idealist, who believes in honesty and fair play. And not seeking to take over the world or covert other nations to communism that works against the people. And serves only to promote the military and a military economy that ultimately leads to some trigger itchy idiot pushing the big red button. To boost their self-worth.

Nadia is pinning her hopes on John Storm, and other forward thinking conservationists like him. She has been kept in the FSB loop via a back door, thus briefed like a number of other high level operatives.

Ms Petrova is a mature agent with considerable acumen. Her interest was aroused when the FSB were confused as to a detected missile launch against the Elizabeth Swann, ostensibly by the US military, then inexplicably changed course for Guantánamo Bay. 

She guessed correctly that the US had not changed their minds, that they were forced into submission, when the detonations on Cuba were noted. She laughed when the Kremlin was unable to unscramble the satellite communications between the Whitehouse and Elizabeth Swann. Since, cyber attacks was their thing and they'd been thwarted.

When Nadia was active, she was one of the first to suspect that a group of scientists in Brazil might be developing humans with extraordinary speed. Such as was later confirmed with satellite observations of the Panamanian Running Man.

Nadia is helping Katya and so John Storm by furnishing anonymous messages that give her, hence him clues as to the chaos in Moscow.

ABOUT 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.
