In his words, Okhrana guards 36 embassies, 13 consulates, as well as representative offices of the Red Cross, UN and other international organizations.
Sviridenko, in particular, noted that on request from the American ambassador, a number of additional measures were agreed upon with the embassy's security service, and the sides were "pleased with the results."
