The activities of state security agencies is one of the most acute and controversial issues that arise when discussing the Soviet period. To this day, the abbreviations VChK-OGPU-NKVD-KGB are perceived by most people exclusively as names of punitive bodies in the service of totalitarian power. Former First Deputy Chairman of the KGB F.D. Bobkov worked in the state security system for 45 years. During this time, 12 leaders were replaced, and the author himself became an eyewitness and participant in many historical events: from the loss of the party to the collapse of the USSR. The book reveals the theme of complex and contradictory relationship between the KGB and the CPSU Central Committee, as well as the features of the party leadership of state security agencies in the "Andropov period". The rabid enthusiasm with which the Soviet state was destroyed was replaced by confusion and the realization of the loss of spiritual ideals. Today Russia is on the threshold of revival and urgently needs to restore a professional and effective institution of state security. Whether it will become a defender of the strategic interests of the Fatherland or a repressive body depends directly on learning the lessons of the past. This book is devoted to a deep understanding of Soviet history in all its great and tragic contradictions.
