Description

This scholarly volume examines the mythology surrounding Soviet secret police and the Russian state security apparatus from Lenin through Putin's era. The book traces how successive Russian regimes have constructed and maintained a cult of state security, positioning security organs as objects of veneration whilst grappling with their violent historical legacies. Through rigorous analysis, the work explores the ongoing struggle to legitimise and sacralise Russia's security infrastructure, revealing how official narratives have been shaped and reshaped across the Soviet period and into contemporary post-Soviet Russia. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Intelligence series, this volume offers essential insight into the ideological foundations of Russian state power and the enduring influence of security-centred mythology on Russian politics and society.
