Biography
Sergey Orestovich Beseda (Russian: СеÑгей ÐÑеÑÑÐ¾Ð²Ð¸Ñ ÐеÑеда; born on 17 May 1954) is a Russian politician, Colonel General and government agent who headed the Fifth Service (Service of Operational Information and International Relations) of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) internal intelligence agency from 2009 to June 2024. In March 2022, during the first month of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, international media reported that Beseda was being held under house arrest as a consequence of giving Russian President Vladimir Putin erroneous intelligence on unexpectedly strong Ukrainian resistance to the invasion. On 8 April, Beseda was reportedly transferred to Moscow's Lefortovo Prison, but Russian authorities provided no official confirmation of any of these events and in August The Washington Post cast doubt on reports that Beseda had been removed from his leadership role at the FSB. He finally left office in the summer of 2024, when he became advisor to the Director of the FSB.
