Kaspersky Lab: Part II

        As an adjunct tidbit of information regarding the resume' of Comrade Eugene Kaspersky, one is asked to review his training and education, and his earliest professional associations.   This background underscores his current position among the socalled 'Russyan Oligarchy'. His position is near the top and is generally recognized as a secure position because of the unique commodity that he overseees: cyber security software.
       He was educated at the Technical faculty of the Higher KGB School of the Order of the Red Banner named after F.E. Dzerzhinsky(aka The 102 School), the largest and most important of several KGB higher educational institutions.  Per 1992 the Technical Faculty was transformed into IKSL, the Institute of Cryptography, Communication, and Computer Science.  When Mr. Kaspersky completed his university level studies, Russya was still the U.S.S.R. or more commonly, the Soviet Union, the agglomeration of diverse peoples and territories cobbled together under "Uncle" Joe Stalin, the ruthless dictator/murderer.   Obviously, at his age, he is a contemporary of none other than Mad Vlad.       Why is he able to fly around the world, hobnob with Ferrari drivers, shed and accumulate wives, and otherwise conduct business without any worry from the Kremlin?   Because he has the "Keys to the Kingdom".   In today's world, he who controls information, controls everything.  He has figured it out.   So, Mad Vlad needs him, at least for now.   Soon, he will become an unabashed western figure, adept at maneuvering among Western power elites, enjoying rapt followers( he already has 339,000 followers on the blog).   Because his roots extend down, down, down into the bowels of the KGB, he knows where the skeletons are hiding.  He probably  knows more than Mad Vlad ever knew!
      He brings to mind the the beer commercials featuring " the Most Interesting Man in the World", the Dos Equis brand (double X).  I can just imagine the number of American civil servants whose day jobs revolve around following this one man's daily activities, not to mention the inner workings of his privately held company.
