Masha Gessen Quotes

In The Middle To Late 1970s, When Putin Joined The KGB, The Secret Police, Like All Soviet Institutions, Was Undergoing A Phase Of Extreme Bloating. Its Growing Number Of Directorates And Departments Were Producing Mountains Of Information That Had No Clear Purpose, Application, Or Meaning. An Entire Army Of Men And A Few Women Spent Their Lives Compiling Newspaper Clippings, Transcripts Of Tapped Telephone Conversations, Reports Of People Followed And Trivia Learned, And All Of This Made Its Way To The Top Of The KGB Pyramid, And Then To The Leadership Of The Communist Party, Largely Unprocessed And Virtually Unanalyzed.
