Russia Has "Integrated," Not Broken,
With Soviet Past

Pipes continues, "As a result, ex-communist offi- Flag of the Russian Federation
cials of high rank occupy preeminent posi-
tions in government and education. The se-
curity organs of democratic Russia are staffed
by old functionaries of the KGB who bring
to their task the old habits. The same applies to
the diplomatic service. Thus, no real break with
the past has occurred: The old has been inte-
grated, as it were, into the new."

sian security council deputy secretary Boris Berezovsky. We are not speaking of mak-
ing a first strike in order to secure advantage, but if we are driven into a corner
and are left with no other option, we will resort to nuclear weapons,” Bere-
zovsky says.
