Fedor's book Russia & the Cult of State Security (2012) has filled a historiographical gap.... The author gives us the keys necessary for decoding these... discourses and, beyond that, the worldview of these men, an indispensable method for gaining knowledge of the Soviet past but also, in Putin's Russia, for understanding the Russian present.
