"In an unusual interview Yevgeny Primakov, head of the
Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, discussed problems
and challenges facing his intelligence agency in terms that
often sounded like testimony that CIA Director John M.
Deutch gave the House intelligence committee Tuesday.
In comments that echoed those of his U.S. counterparts,
Primakov charged that some post-Cold War budget cuts in his
agency developed 'because the [Russian] press ganged up on
us [and] many newspapers wrote absurd things about us,
including statements that foreign intelligence was no
longer necessary at all.' His remarks about media coverage
were similar to recent statements by Deutch and his
predecessors, R. James Woolsey and Robert M. Gates."
