Amidst the grandeur of the Kremlin, President Fyodorov sought refuge in the age-old practice of perusing papers, the dimly lit room creating an atmosphere of somber reflection. The tranquil ambiance was abruptly shattered by an insistent knock on the door, causing Fyodorov to divert his attention from the documents spread before him. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Volkov, entered with an urgency that matched the speed of his entrance, wielding his phone like a harbinger of unsettling news.
“Mr. President, we’ve got a situation. Cyber threat, denouncing us on national broadcast,” Volkov declared, the urgency in his voice rippling through the room.
Fyodorov’s expression transformed from quiet contemplation to one of profound concern as he examined the VGTRK broadcast on Volkov’s phone. The screen displayed ominous texts, a blatant denouncement of the Russian government, accompanied by a veiled threat. The weight of the situation pressed upon Fyodorov, casting a pallor over his usually composed features.
As Volkov urgently made calls to summon the directors of the FSB and SVR, the room became a hub of heightened tension. Fyodorov’s thoughts raced through the potential ramifications of this cyberattack, and the shadows in the dimly lit room seemed to mirror the uncertainty that now gripped the president.

In an undisclosed woodland area on the outskirts of Moscow, FSB Director Viktor Kuznetsov and SVR Director found themselves in an impromptu rendezvous. Kuznetsov, known for his relaxed demeanor, received a phone call updating him on the progress of the cyber security team.
“We’ve got their asses. We can crack down on the hackers in two hours,” the voice on the other end conveyed.
Kuznetsov’s hearty chuckle resonated through the woods, a testament to the efficiency of his team. “Excellent work. Keep me posted.”
Turning to the SVR director, who was enveloped in a cloud of smoke from his relentless smoking, Kuznetsov smacked him on the head. “Your excessive smoking is suffocating me, arsewipe.”
The SVR director, undeterred, managed a wry smile, the weariness in his eyes contrasting with an unwavering determination. Kuznetsov issued the directive for his counterpart to contact their ‘associates’ in America, a task that demanded delicate handling given the sensitive nature of such an operation.
