The PSM 5.45mm - Vlad Putin's EDC?

Guns.com has this very interesting read on this KGB developed concealed carry piece:

Officially, throughout the 1970s, Soviets made vocal their belief that a new compact and concealable, lightweight semi-automatic pistol was a much needed, personal defense weapon for senior military officers and internal security folks to carry in country. All of that, however, was a smokescreen because it was actually the KGB who needed the weapon—never mind the military officers drawn from the ranks of the Motherland’s most promising scientists and engineers.
