The new authorities want to rule Russia in comfort and with dignity. They do not wish to suffer from insomnia because in the morning some newspaper may publish compromising materials. They are irritated by this possibility. This is why the new administration is now considering methods of putting an end to information leaks and battles of compromising materials. According to some sources, a special Federal Security Service (FSB) department may be created whose task will be formulated as something like: "preventing discreditation of senior state officials and state authorities in general". russiatoday.com
