Some, called the siloviki, belong to powerful institutions such as the secret police or the army. Others, formally affiliated with various government agencies, are loyal only to Putin.

Putin will find ways to silence (prison on trumped up charges, gulag, kill off, ......) anyone who does NOT joining/staying in his band of partisans.
