      My university education was largely targeting the US diplomatic response to the downfall of the USSR and the rise of the CIS. One of my professors was ex-KGB who worked with the Stasi in East Germany and was a spy for MI-5. He mentioned on more than one occasion that his former colleagues were very angry over the loss of the ColdWar and many would want revenge. I believe this is that revenge.
