Summary/Abstract: The article is an analysis of strengthening the powers and status of the Federal Security Service. The main context is the new anti-terrorism law adopted in 2016. The main thesis of the article is the belief that the new anti-terrorism law significantly expands the powers, control and a surveillance of the Federal Security Service, which has a dominant role in the system of the Russian secret services. Hypothetical relationship between the new law and the consolidation of influence of Federal Security Service is one of the stages of FSB-fication of power in the Russian Federation.
