As far as I know he was not officially involved in the KGB after 1990, so when he was brought in, he was indeed a random bureaucrat. I also don't see how this omission as you see it creates a pro-putin narrative. The narrative was the oligarch's needed someone they could trust who would 'play ball' and he was the stooge they picked. He could have mentioned Putin worked at FSB (like the russian FBI post Soviet Union).
