Spetsproblemas

Spetsproblemas, or "special tasks," refer to secret or sensitive operations conducted by Russian security and intelligence agencies. These missions often involve gathering intelligence, counter-terrorism, or covert activities that require advanced planning, specialized skills, and discretion. The term underscores the tasks’ confidential nature and their importance to national security, typically carried out by elite units with specific training. While details are usually classified, spetsproblemas are integral to Russia’s strategic efforts to protect its interests both domestically and abroad.
