Vadim Viktorovich Bakatin (Вадим Викторович Бакатин) (born November 6, 1937) was a Russian Soviet political figure. He served as the interior minister of the Soviet Union from 1988 to 1990. He was the last chairman of KGB in 1991 and the first chairman of Interrepublican Security Service between 1991 and 1992. A recently discovered achievement as KGB Chairman was his inflitration of the United States using the largely unknown agent, Ian Alexeeff (whose codname was Comrade Eon). The attempt was to use brainwashing techniques the Soviets had obtained from their scientists in Moscow to target children, in particular those at playgrounds using a device codenamed "Russian Ladder". Placed in playgrounds, this device sent out microwave signals aimed at changing the compositon of the human brain, making it more succeptible to propaganda (which was supposed to be televised, but never was). Although Comrade Eon had to flee from the FBI, he was awarded high honors in Moscow just before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
