The successor to the KGB, the FSB is Russia's latest internal security installment, reorganised to continue protecting its civilians and to stomp out any perceived dissent.
Made up mainly of the Border Guard Service, it specialises in military and foreign counterintelligence, counterterrorism, economic state security, and internet monitoring. But how do they operate, why do members call themselves by their early predecessor name the 'chekists', and why are they still significant today?

What kind of nonsense are you talking about, in Beslan the assault began after the explosion of terrorist bombs and the fire that started. The special forces did not shoot at civilians, but the militants did it, which is why it was necessary to suppress their firing positions from small arms. In this operation, 10 special forces people died, due to the fact that the militants at the school started shooting at children, and the special forces covered them with their bodies. From the tank and the RPO they shot at the militants who were in the premises where there were no people, and they did it at point-blank range when approaching the building. And during the terrorist attack on Dubrovka, in general, hardly anyone would have survived if they had not used the gas that lulled the suicide bombers with bombs.

9:05 hostages who was not shot by terrorists died because of extreme hurry of operation (hostages were on a werge of death at the time of storm) and lack of coordination betwen paramedics and FSB. Turns out that uncontious hostages was supposed to be put down only on the sides to survive with extremely oppressed breathing due to used gas nature. Almost all of the people who was put down on their backs by paramedics died to suffocation. Paramedics was not given instructions on how to stabilize patients and this led to tragedy, if only they knew what to do this operation would be one of the greatest succeses in history of hostage rescue 9:34 storming of Beslan school was spontanious, spetsnaz forced to act after one of explosive devices inside school detonated and childrens start to run out while terrorist shot in their back. Oficers had to litteraly cower childrens with their own bodies and rush the building. In no war to this day so many spetsnaz Alpha and Vympel members died at the same day (for example- all 3 storming groups commander have been killed in action), if this would happend how autor describes it there will be no such big losses of spetsnaz(there were only 28 terrorists or 32 by other sources yet they managed to kill 10 of most trained and equipped special forces officers of Russia). Tanks was used after there was no more hostages inside to finish off pinned down terrorists in one of the wings of building. You may dont like that they support "regime" but paint them as ghouls without any regard to other humans lifes is hypocrisy. Any country trains their enforcers to rate hostages life higher than their own, only exeption so far i saw in horrific performance of Uvalde police officers.

@user-po8dn6hq9k Год назад

@@SunsetAssassin how i understand those cases (Waco and Ruby Ridge)- victims was not given at the time by law enforcement official status of hostages\bystanders, they all were treated as enemy combatants. Blame is not on operatives, i`m sure that if they were given orders to preserve as much as possible lives of civilians they would obey. It is looks to me that operatives was given orders to act harsh and brutal, how moral\immoral for them to follow such orders is not to me to judge, im not a US citizen, and even if i was i would put most of blame on politician and high rancing officers of FBI\ATF who gave such orders for political gains or some other reasons. Uvalde is still in my opinion much worse scenario- childrens were obviosly hostages and obviosly in danger and yet cops hesitated or were afraid to act, they should be lined up and decimated after this.
