The last chairman of the KGB of the USSR Vadim Bakatin died
The last chairman of the KGB of the USSR Vadim Bakatin died in Moscow at 85 years of life. He led a special service for less than six months, trying to reform it in a liberal manner. Many divisions and management were withdrawn from the control of the committee, including intelligence, special communications and protection of state-owned persons. However, he was not completely dissolved, as proponents of more radical reforms suggested.
