17. GRU and KGB (now FSB) are two different agencies

FSB is the Russian civil intelligence agency. This agency has had a LOT of different names; KGB is the most popular one. To translate to the US intel community, FSB would be what you get if you combined the CIA and FBI then gave them NSA's mission to go along with it.

GRU is the Russian military intelligence agency. It's always been called that. In the Good Old Days, the existence of this agency was the USSR's deepest secret. There's an old book written by a Soviet defector that describes the difference between joining the KGB and joining the GRU. In essence, anyone could join the KGB. They had a process for putting you into the best job for you, but if you wanted to be a KGB officer, you could do that. Joining the GRU was a little like joining the Men in Black, except they didn't burn off your fingerprints during inprocessing.
