According to Deputy Minister Bui Van Nam, few countries in the world like Vietnam have had several generations of leaders from the central level to local ones that have trained and studied in the former Soviet Union/Russia.

Among these alumni, many have the become leaders of agencies and units of the Ministry Of Public Security. At this point, dozens of Vietnamese public security officers are still studying in Russia.
