The Presidential Security Service (SBP) (Template:Lang-ru) is a federal government agency concerned with the tasks related to the protection of the President of Russia and the Prime Minister of Russia with their respective families and residences. It traces its origin to the USSR's Ninth Chief Directorate of the KGB, and in the beginning, it was led by KGB general Alexander Korzhakov.

Structure and command

From 2000 to 2013, the agency was headed by General Viktor Zolotov. SBP has 2,500 personnel.[1]

The Russian Presidential Security Service is a branch of the FSO that is concerned with protection of the President and the Prime Minister of Russia.

The SBP under Putin's first and second terms (2000–2008) was alleged to be effectively supervised by Viktor Zolotov, head of the president's personal security service.[2]

During Dmitry Medvedev's Presidency (2008 - 2012), some claim the SBP was still subordinated to Vladimir Putin and allegedly used to "keep an eye" on the Russian president Medvedev.[3]

Psychological Security Dept.

The Psychological Security Department is the Intelligence branch of SBP who is responsible for analyzing information collected about the security threats to the life of the president. The Department mixes several selected intelligence experts from the Military Intelligence, Federal Internal Security and the Foreign Intelligence into one branch.
