Same with any Russian official who was in China helping Mao. Stalin killed every Soviet who was in Mao’s inner circle.
The big difference between the FBI and the Gestapo is that Hitler had some control over the Gestapo and they never attempted a coup d’etat.
Putin doesn’t trust the FSB to prevent a color revolution so he set up the Federal National Guard Service to act as an additional check on the FSB and the army.
The FSB doesn’t conceal its origins in the Soviet Cheka.
That, and the FBI originally was a force of good before getting turned for evil purposes since Clinton at the very least, while the Gestapo was pretty much evil from the start.
You might be interested in a period essay called “Slave Labor in Soviet Russia” published in English in 1937. It was written by a German Nazi who died at the end of the war, a certain Dr. Hermann Greife, and offers firm proof the Nazis knew exactly what the S*viets were doing. You just have to wade through a heavy dose of Nazi propaganda along the way.
