''Silovik'' (; plural: ''siloviki'', ) is a Russian word for politicians from the security or military services, often the officers of the former KGB, GRU, FSB, SVR the Federal Drug Control or other security services who came into power. It can also refer to security-service personnel from any country or nationality. ==Derivation== The term ''silovik'', literally translated as "person of force" (from Russian ''сила'', "force"), originated with the phrase "institutions of force" (), which appeared in the earlier Boris Yeltsin era (early 1990s) to denote the military-style uniformed services, including the military proper, the police (Ministry of Interior), national security (KGB/FSB) organisations and some other structures.〔 For example: 〕 These "structures of force" formed a ''de facto'' higher-level inner cabinet under Yeltsin (President 1991-1999) and Vladimir Putin (President 2000-2008, 2012-present). The term is occasionally translated as "strongman", but such a reading obscures the particular career background of a ''silovik''; ''forces man'' would be a better rendering. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silovik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
