Russia will soon have its very own FBI service, according to the RBK Daily paper. It will unite all Russia's investigation services.

It's reported that the agency has already been officially approved at the highest level. There's now speculation about who will head the Russian FBI, with two of Putin's friends from university among the candidates.
