Kryshtanovskaya noted that there were also people who had worked in structures believed to be affiliated with the KGB/FSB, such as the Soviet Union Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Governmental Communications Commission, Ministry of Foreign Trade, Press Agency "News" and others.

Summing up the numbers of official and affiliated "siloviki", she came up with an estimate of 77% of such in the power.
