On the Cheka centennary:
"No matter how the times were changing, the majority of people who chose that difficult profession were true patriots and defenders of the state." (Russian president Vladimir Putin) (https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/12/21/world/politics-diplomacy-world/centennial-infamous-bolshevik-secret-police-putin-praises-russian-spies-foiling-60-terror-attacks/)
Our Fatherland was a constant target for foreign states. The enemy either tried to defeat us in open combat or by using traitors inside our country to sow discord, divide the nation, and paralyze the ability of the government to effectively respond to threats. The destruction of Russia is still an obsession for many. (FSB head Alexander Bortnikov) (https://themoscowtimes.com/news/fsb-chief-defends-purges-denounces-traitors-on-cheka-anniversary-60002)
