The "western" media, the neo-cons of both major parties, and the anti-Russia trolls and loudmouths on the internet like to try to subtly imply that Russia today, which is actually a mostly free market democracy, is still communist.
One of their techniques is to cite the lie that President Putin is a "KGB agent." Americans apparently are so dumb they think that there is actually still a KGB, even though it hasn't existed for 25 years in Russia (they still have one in Belarus and Transnistria I think). The FSB is the Russian security agency which is similar to the FBI and CIA as well as handling Border Patrol functions. Its no different than any of these agencies in western countries.
Even if they add "former" KGB agent, they imply that President Putin must be a closet Communist. They fail to tell people that Putin has been a staunch anti-Communist and has worked to prevent the Communists from regaining power.
He was always a closet Christian and capitalist when he worked for the KGB during Soviet times. He only joined the agency because that is what you did in the Soviet Union if you were ambitious and wanted a career in politics and government, just like thousands of other people in the Soviet Union who didn't believe in the system. Its how you advanced if you were ambitious.
