The successor to the KGB, the FSB is Russia's latest internal security installment, reorganised to continue protecting its civilians and to stomp out any perceived dissent.
Made up mainly of the Border Guard Service, it specialises in military and foreign counterintelligence, counterterrorism, economic state security, and internet monitoring. But how do they operate, why do members call themselves by their early predecessor name the 'chekists', and why are they still significant today?

What kind of nonsense are you talking about, in Beslan the assault began after the explosion of terrorist bombs and the fire that started. The special forces did not shoot at civilians, but the militants did it, which is why it was necessary to suppress their firing positions from small arms. In this operation, 10 special forces people died, due to the fact that the militants at the school started shooting at children, and the special forces covered them with their bodies. From the tank and the RPO they shot at the militants who were in the premises where there were no people, and they did it at point-blank range when approaching the building. And during the terrorist attack on Dubrovka, in general, hardly anyone would have survived if they had not used the gas that lulled the suicide bombers with bombs.

9:05 hostages who was not shot by terrorists died because of extreme hurry of operation (hostages were on a werge of death at the time of storm) and lack of coordination betwen paramedics and FSB. Turns out that uncontious hostages was supposed to be put down only on the sides to survive with extremely oppressed breathing due to used gas nature. Almost all of the people who was put down on their backs by paramedics died to suffocation. Paramedics was not given instructions on how to stabilize patients and this led to tragedy, if only they knew what to do this operation would be one of the greatest succeses in history of hostage rescue 9:34 storming of Beslan school was spontanious, spetsnaz forced to act after one of explosive devices inside school detonated and childrens start to run out while terrorist shot in their back. Oficers had to litteraly cower childrens with their own bodies and rush the building. In no war to this day so many spetsnaz Alpha and Vympel members died at the same day (for example- all 3 storming groups commander have been killed in action), if this would happend how autor describes it there will be no such big losses of spetsnaz(there were only 28 terrorists or 32 by other sources yet they managed to kill 10 of most trained and equipped special forces officers of Russia). Tanks was used after there was no more hostages inside to finish off pinned down terrorists in one of the wings of building.

It is looks to me that operatives was given orders to act harsh and brutal, how moral\immoral for them to follow such orders is not to me to judge, im not a US citizen, and even if i was i would put most of blame on politician and high rancing officers of FBI\ATF who gave such orders for political gains or some other reasons.

The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation FSB Russian: Федеральная служба безопасности Российской Федерации tr. Federal'naya sluzhba bezopasnosti Rossiyskoy Federatsii It is the principal security agency of Russia and the main successor agency to the Soviet Union's KGB; its immediate predecessor was the Federal Counterintelligence Service (FSK) which was reorganized into the FSB in 1995. The three major structural successor components of the former KGB that remain administratively independent of the FSB are the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the Federal Protective Service (FSO), and the Main Directorate of Special Programs of the President of the Russian Federation (GUSP).

Im surprised the video didn't even mention the different types of FSB units like Alfa and Vympel. And the video didn't even mention much about the unit as a special force since FSB is a security force agency it also works alot like a special force unit. It kept mentioning on how it does policing and yes it does have some situations where FSB was involved with internal security but they are also a military unit like delta force which to me was a bit disappointing. The video was overall nice just had missed a few things.

FSB is russian equivalent of US FBI. That is everything you need to know.

[@mat05usz40]

If you really think so then you have a lot to learn. Part of why KGB/FSB was so effective in counter espionage during the cold war was because they could blatantly use torture and/or other techniques on basically anyone on their territory and noone would care (because of fear of being the next in line), meanwhile FBI is way more restricted.

[@heyhoe168]

The war beginning in 1999 was not the First but the Second Chechnen War. And I thought the most victims of the Beslan massacre fell victim to the bombs, the terrorist had laid (although some of them probably exploded because of the heavy fire).

[@KasumiRINA]

No terrorist bombs, just russians using explosives from OUTSIDE to kill children inside, the Shmel is a grenade launching flamethrower, it was what burned the kids, some of the children surviving initial attack were rounded up in a cafeteria and burned there. Years later, russia would do the same with Syrian and Ukrainian children.

[@jbt32195]

The FSB was not the only group involved in the theater hostage situation the group that actually cleared the building and killed the terrorist was spetsnaz group alfa members but the FSB provided the gas which was experimental and classified at the time and due to a lack of proper knowledge they laid the unconscious hostages on their backs which resulted in many of them choking to death when they became ill as a side effect from the gas that's what caused the like 130 ppl to die
