That chekisti Putin must still long for the bad old days...
* chekisti - Russian slang referring to someone who works for the state security apparatus, either as an employee or as an informant. Dates back from the very early days of Commie Russia when the security service was called the Cheka, which later became the OGPU, NKVD, MGB, KGB and now the FSB.
Putin used to work for the old KGB before he went on to bigger and better things.
