In 1998 Yeltsin appointed Vladimir Putin, a KGB veteran who would later succeed Yeltsin as
federal president, as director of the FSB.[7] Putin was reluctant to take over the directorship, but once
appointed conducted a thorough reorganization, which included the dismissal of most of the FSB's top
personnel.[1] Putin appointed Nikolai Patrushev as the head of FSB in 1999. ..." wp

(SFOR), in December 1996.
Forty-three different countries from NATO
and around the world, including Russia,
contributed to this force. Thanks in part
to SFOR’s presence, one million wartime
refugees returned to their homes.
Improvements in the security situation led
to gradual reductions in troop numbers
from the original 60,000 to 7,000. On 2 December 2004, SFOR was
brought to a successful end and
NATO handed over its peacekeeping
responsibilities to a European Union
force. This EU operation continues with
NATO support. ..."
Page 28: "...NATO’s relations with Russia began in the early 1990s, when Russia joined the NACC in 1991
and the Partnership
for Peace in 1994. Russia was also the largest non-NATO troop contributor to the peacekeeping
operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In 1997, the bilateral relationship was given a more formal basis with the signing of the NATO-Russia
Founding Act, which established the Permanent Joint Council (PJC) to develop dialogue and cooperation.
Lingering Cold War stereotypes prevented the PJC from achieving its full potential and differences over
NATO’s Kosovo air campaign also impacted on the NATORussia relationship, although Russia contributed
peacekeepers to the Kosovo Force. ..."

and Ukraine would one day become

Georgia’s progress since the
