	Lubyanka (KGB) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lubyanka is the popular name for the headquarters of the KGB and affiliated prison on Lubyanka Square in Moscow.
		The Lubyanka was originally built in 1898 as the Neo-Baroque headquarters of the All-Russia Insurance Company, noted for its beautiful parquet floors and pale green walls.
		Denying its massiveness, the edifice avoids an impression of heroic scale: isolated Palladian and Baroque details, such as the minute pediments over the corner bays and the central loggia, are lost in an endlessly-repeating classicizing palace facade, where three bands of cornices emphasize the horizontal lines.

	TRIUMPH OF THE KGB
		The former President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, who used to be an active opponent of Lubyanka’s heroes, failed to recommend to the country any good successor and let the KGB into the Kremlin at the end of his governing.
		The difference is that the KGB officers have learnt to better cope with the nation by using force than the party bosses.
		His bronze monument is not yet in Lubyanka Square, but his figure and his deeds are in the hearts of many thousands of his citizens – old and young – and in the portraits in the offices of the secret services and in the curriculum of the Cheka schools.

	The KGB: "They still need us" \| thebulletin.org
		On August 21, Vladimir Kryuchkov, KGB head and one of the leaders of the coup, was arrested.
		In June, the government announced a "public cleansing" in Lubyanka: the chief of counterintelligence and a number of financial managers were removed.
		To a journalist, the change is obvious--the people at Lubyanka are much calmer; they feel free to shoo the press away, and even to arrest someone who writes for a newspaper, something that would have seemed impossible several years ago.

	KGB Lubyanka Headquarters - Russia / Soviet Intelligence Agencies
		KGB directors from Lavrentiya Beriya to Yuriy Andropov had their office on the third floor of the building.
		Since 1984 (when KGB chief Yuri Andropov became chairman of the Communist Party and decided to improve the KGB's public image) tourists have been able to visit a KGB museum in a gray stone building behind the Lubyanka.
		The new KGB Museum, which is open to the public, is housed in the Lubyanka building.

	Eric Margolis \| Foreign Correspondent : KGB INC.
		I was shown cells where ‘enemies of the Soviet state’ waited to be shot, walked the Lubyanka’s musty, dimly-lit corridors, inspected the fascinating secret museum of Soviet espionage, and interviewed two senior KGB generals.
		The KGB generals and colonels that I met and socialized with during extended visits to Moscow from 1989-1992 made me understand a profound revolution was underway at Moscow Center.
		A younger generation of KGB, mostly from the elite 1st Chief Directorate that conducted foreign intelligence operations, had become totally disgusted by the corruption, cronyism and incompetence of the Communist Party.

	Spying on the KGB
		If the KGB (actually FSB, a new moniker in a new Russia) still harbors hidden agendas, its legend and lore are openly showcased, albeit clearly from a Russian perspective, in a small museum within the agency's storied Lubyanka office complex.
		Just beyond the front door of a vast yellow building that doubled as a KGB headquarters and prison, Moscovites crowded into Lubyanka Square on an August evening in 1991 to cheer the dismantling of a statue honoring the organization's founder, Felix Dzerzhinsky, a demonstration that celebrated the demise of communism.
		The KGB museum tour was followed by a luncheon at the nearby Shield and Sword restaurant, a longtime gathering place for Russian intelligence officers whose photos adorn the walls, and a discussion of Russian politics and social environment then and now.

	Cold Eagle Affair 2
		Lubyanka itself contained three buildings, and it was the main yellow building that contained the prison.
		They worked well together but as the KGB became more and more obsessed with the claim that the armed forces were continually being threatened by ideological sabotage, Sergei was empowered to investigate armed forces personnel for the same crimes under the KGB purview for ordinary citizens.

	Russian Spies Mark Secret Police Day
		The Lubyanka, a hulking pink and yellow neo-classical building, still stands in a central square, albeit without the statue of Cheka founder Felix Dzerzhinsky, torn down by pro-democracy demonstrators in 1991 as the Soviet Union fell.
		A former head of the KGB, Vladimir Semichastny, bemoaned the day the statue was unceremoniously transplanted and thought the modern-day secret police was less of a force than before.
		Semichastny was KGB head from 1963 to 1967 and welcomed British spy George Blake to the Soviet Union in 1966 after the latter escaped from jail in his home country.

		He chose the site with care: the Lubyanka, once the headquarters of the KGB and its most notorious jail prisoners once exercised on its roof, and were tortured in its cellars - and now the home of the FSB, Russia's internal security services.
		Putin was not, he says, part of that "cosmopolitan group of officers" that clamoured for change in the KGB at the end of the 1980s.
		Among the many former KGB officers he has put in positions of power in Moscow is one Viktor Cherkesov, now deputy director of the FSB, formerly chief of the Fifth Directorate in Putin's native Leningrad, and well known to that city's ex-dissidents.

		The Lubyanka archive was to be moved to more spacious quarters on the outskirts of the Soviet capital, in the suburb of Yasenovo.
		Among KGB agents in the Patriarchate's foreign relations department who were regularly used...in meetings with Western churches was the monk Iosif Pustoutov, who was recruited in 1970, aged 26, with the code name YESAULENKO.
		It was in 1976 that the KGB, according to its documents, became aware of a deadly threat to the Soviet system, centered on the Christian Committee for the Defen-se of Believers' Rights in the USSR, led by Father Gleb Yakunin.

	American Chronicle: Secrets and subterfuge: Russia's espionage history revealed in the KGB's Moscow museum
		It is not actually on Lubyanka Square, which is the site of the FSB headquarters and jail cells, but slightly behind the square on Bolshaya Lubyanskaya ulitsa, though it forms an integral part of what has come to be known as ‘Lubyanka’.
		We were first told about the evolution of the KGB from its roots as the Cheka (or secret police) created by ‘Iron’ Felix Dzherzhinsky under Lenin, until it became the KGB and through to its present day format as the FSB (Federal Security Bureau) after some 13 name changes.
		At the end of the tour, a vivid contrast was created between the gloomy and sinister tone of the museum with the warm and effusive greeting by its cuddly and rosy-cheeked deputy-director.

	Oleg Kalugin's speech for Glasnost Foundation, Nov 2000, "The Triumph of the KGB"
		The KGB people were generally more educated and sophisticated than their party bosses, less corrupt and better prepared to deal with realities of Russia’s everyday life.
		However, to picture the KGB gang as saviors or miracle workers capable of leading the country out of the current quagmire would be entirely out of place.
		Unlike the former Soviet KGB, which saw no need in anonymity, the Russian Chekists have been disguising their activities by skillfully using the services of the Tax Police, the Customs, the Chief of Accounting office, other proliferating bureaucracies and rival organizations.

	KGB: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
		Communist ideology has, as Andropov envisioned, been exchanged for a nationalist one; and FSB officers as well as the officers of other former KGB departments are not just controlling, but are now governing, the country.
		These were the liberals from the communist party and eurocommunists that saw Russia’s future in her past and believed that Russia would again manage to catch up with her European neighbours.
		The fact is that Glasnost Magazine did not share the illusions of victory inspired in the dissidents by the KGB; and that was the reason why there were several attempts between 1987 and 1993 to buy or destroy the magazine.

	Ion Mihai Pacepa on Vladimir Putin on National Review Online
		Former KGB officers are now running Russia's government, just as they did during Andropov's reign, and the Kremlin's image — another Andropov specialty — continues to be more important than people's real lives in that still-inscrutable country.
		The government's recent catastrophic Beslan operation was a reenactment of the effort to "rescue" 2,000 people from Moscow's Dubrovka Theater, where the "new" KGB flooded the hall with fentanyl gas and caused the death of 129 hostages.
		Of course, the KGB had long been using diplomatic cover slots for its officers assigned abroad, but Andropov's new approach was designed to influence the Soviet Union itself.
