Part of the CIA's clandestine arm responsible for Russia (formerly Soviet Union) and Eastern Europe; since 2015 called Europe and Eurasia Mission Center

The Central Eurasia Division, before that the Soviet-East Europe Division, was part of the CIA's clandestine arm responsible for communist Russia and Eastern Europe.[1]

Name history

The Central Eurasia Division (CE) formerly the Soviet-East Europe Division (SE), was part of the CIA's clandestine arm responsible for operations related to the Soviet Union and its successor states

The Division was known as the Soviet Russia Division from 1952 to 1966 and the Soviet Bloc Division from 1966 to 1974. For at least part of this period a separate Eastern Europe Division was also in existence.

John Brennan's 2015 re-organisation of the CIA created a Europe and Eurasia Mission Center reporting directly to the Office of the Director. This may have absorbed the Central Eurasian Division as well as elements from the Directorate of Intelligence.[2]
