The FSB, as an organization that performs counterintelligence and intelligence functions, as well as combating crime and terrorism, has existed for eighteen years. Her famous predecessors - the Cheka, the NKVD, the KGB, from which she took the baton. Incidentally, the current President Putin was the second director of this government agency.
Work in the FSB is the dream of many, many. Employment in
the security service promises both an interesting activity and career prospects. An employee of this state structure can become a citizen of the Russian Federation who does not have foreign citizenship, owns a high level of personal and professional qualities. The candidate for the FSB should be provided with a number of documents to the local security service: application, curriculum vitae, special application form, identity card, passport,
military ID, certificates of civil status (birth, marriage, adoption, name change, etc.). The process of studying the applicant’s data takes an average of three months, after which the employee of the personnel department informs him of the final decision.
Work in the FSB has both its pros and cons. Its specificity is such that each employee must keep secret all information related to his occupation, and also be prepared for the fact that all the details of his life will be known to his superiors. Judging by the reviews of some of its former employees, work in the FSB often requires both stress and sometimes boring “paper” work, and many people are not satisfied with the salary level. Employees must obey the established rules, violation of at least one of them threatens with dismissal. Sometimes work in the FSB requires a person to learn to “live in the wrong skin”, skillfully posing as someone he is not. This is necessary when introduced into a terrorist or bandit group - to collect information or eliminate some members of an illegal organization.
