Putin main KGB career was in the 1st Directorate (Foreign Intelligence Service) in which he served as an FIO, which turned into the SVR when the Russian Federation was established, the SVR and GRU are 2 sides of the same coin.
He later did serve as the director of the FSB for a very short period but he's best known for reforming the organization which resulted in major "layoffs" (and being laid off in the intelligence world, especially in pseudo authoritarian regimes rarely ends well), but again this is an odd case, but as some others have mentioned it seems to be a legal framework to compel companies (or individuals) to hand off their keys rather than some technical solution.
