Yes, the term is in common usage in Russia, and is very common in current Russian lexicon dealing with politics. The best way I can translate it is siloviki are generals (or other heads of military or intelligence agencies) who have a certain amount of political will to exert. ON a sidenote, Latinina is awesome.
