As the final Russian aircraft touched down at Sheremetyevo International Airport late this evening, marking the conclusion of a high-stakes mission, a reflective air hung over the Federation Security Service (FSO) headquarters in Moscow. Their successful operation to secure President Nemtsov’s diplomatic visit to the United States had concluded without incident. Unlike previous visits by Russian officials, this one would be a succesful one. Yet, behind the stoic demeanor of the agents returning from the field, there was a palpable sense of satisfaction intertwined with the gravity of their task.

Inside the secure briefing room, Special Agent Mikhail of the FSO addressed the gathered personnel. The mood was reflective, their accomplishments fully realized in the sterile, fluorescent-lit room where operations were reviewed with clinical precision.

“Comrades,” Mikhail began, his voice steady but carrying the weight of the operation’s magnitude. “We have successfully completed our mission. Our President is safe. The moral image and dignity of the Motherland is in tact." He allowed a moment of silence to pass as agents exchanged subtle glances, each one aware of the long hours and tense moments that had defined the past week.

“However, we cannot allow ourselves to forget the seriousness of what we’ve achieved. This was no ordinary visit. The American government was keenly aware of our presence, and we operated in an environment where vigilance was our only assurance. Their cooperation was valuable, yes, but let us not be naive. Should any threat have arisen, we would have dealt with it swiftly and decisively.”

A low murmur passed through the room, the agents’ minds no doubt flashing to the numerous risk assessments made during their planning phase, to the extensive coordination with the U.S. Secret Service. “The coordination with our American counterparts was seamless, but the nature of our operations remained entirely Russian. Every contingency was planned for, and we adapted to the unpredictable circumstances with resolve,” Mikhail continued.

It is vital that this mission—its complexities, the minor challenges we faced, and the compromises made—remain confidential. It is not our role to speculate on the nuances of foreign policy in public forums. For those of you returning to your families or rejoining normal operations: do not let your guard down. The work we do here requires a certain... silence.”

His eyes scanned the room, locking with the agents who had accompanied the President and his family across multiple cities: “You were the eyes and ears that ensured the safety of the highest office of our nation. You ensured that the President could focus on the diplomatic tasks at hand, free from the distraction of fear.

On my end, all comms were encrypted and uninterrupted. No electronic interference were detected our time in-country. The secure channels held up under any potential pressure. As for the security assessment, you had a few near-misses with local activists, but nothing escalated. The operation was smooth, and the advance teams did their job well. Good work everyone. You may not hear that often...but this was a damn fine job."

As the briefing concluded and the agents made their way toward the transport vehicles awaiting them outside, the reality of their work set in. FSO personnel who returned rest returned to their regular duties.
