KGBAgency Overview: Formed in 1954 Previous Agency Ministry of State Security agency Replacement dissolved in 1991 the Federal Security Service the responsibility of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Moscow headquarters, RSFSR, Soviet KGB (transliteration) is the Russian abbreviation for Committee for State Security (Russian:; Komityet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosty), which was the official name of the umbrella organization acting as an agency of the Soviet Union in terms of security for Prime Minister, the secret police and intelligence agency, from 1954 to 1991.The name of the largest of the successors of the KGB is the Russian FSB (,; Federalnaya Slujba Bezopasnosty; English: Federal Security Service). The function of the KGB has been illustrated by its official emblem: bearing both shield and sword, the KGB was an organization with a military hierarchy to ensure national defense, especially defense of the Communist Party of the Union Soviet Union (CPSU). It was similar in function to the United States "of the CIA, has more work against espionage and national defense of the FBI, or the twin organizations MI5 and MI6 in the UK.On December 21 June 1995, the President of Russia Boris Yeltsin signed the decree that disbanded the KGB, which was subsequently replaced by the FSB, the current National Agency of State Security of the Russian Federation. In Belarus, a former Soviet republic, the official name of the Russian security agency of the state remains "KGB". The term is sometimes used figuratively in the Western press to refer to the current committee FSB renamed after 1991 because of its recognition and public perception. Most information about the KGB remains secret.Origin of the KGB The first of these precursors of the KGB, the Cheka, was established December 19, 1917. It replaced the Tsarist secret police. The Cheka underwent several name and organizational changes over the years, becoming successively the State Political Directorate (OGPU) (1923), People's Commissariat for State Security (NKGB) (1941), and the Department of State Security (MGB) (1946), among others. In March 1953, Lavrenty Beria consolidated the Russian Ministry of Interior (MVD) and the MGB into one body, the MVD, in the year, Beria was executed and MVD was split.The reform of the MVD retained its police powers, law enforcement, while the second, the new agency, the KGB, assumed internal and external security and intelligence functions, and was subordinate to the Council of Ministers. On July 5, 1978, the KGB was renamed the KGB of the Soviet Union, with its chairman with a seat on the Council of Ministers. The KGB was dissolved when its chief, Colonel-General Vladimir Kryuchkov, used the resources of KGB with the attempted coup in August 1991 to overthrow Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.On August 23, 1991 Colonel-General Kryuchkov was arrested, and General Vadim Bakatin has been appointed chairman of the KGB and charged to dissolve the KGB of the Soviet Union. On November 6, 1991, the KGB officially ceased to exist. Its services were divided into two separate organizations: the FSB for Internal Security and the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of Foreign Intelligence Gathering. The Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti (FSB) is functionally like the Soviet KGB.Vladimir Kryuchkov died in 2007 of an unspecified illness in Moscow since its inception, the KGB was envisioned as the sword "and" shield of the Bolshevik Revolution and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). The KGB has achieved a remarkable string of success in the early stages of its history. The security is relatively lax, foreign powers like the United States and the United Kingdom has allowed unprecedented opportunities to penetrate the KGB foreign intelligence services and governments to its own employees such as ideologically motivated Five Cambridge.Without doubt, the scope of Soviet intelligence the most important information the Cambridge Five, detailed construction of the atomic bomb (Manhattan Project), which has taken place because well-placed KGB agents in this project, such as Klaus Fuchs and Theodore Hall. The KGB also pursued enemies of the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin. These include people like Leon Trotsky and groups like the Revolutionary Guards against whites, possibly carrying out the assassination of Trotsky.During the Cold War, the KGB played a crucial role in the survival of the Soviet state party by its suppression of political dissent (called "ideological") and hunting notable public figures such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Andrei Sakharov.He also won notable successes in the field of foreign intelligence, including the ongoing collection of Western science and technology (including much of the technical information on the Concorde, which copied the Soviet Tu -144) from agents like Melita Norwood and the infiltration of West Germany Willy Brandt's government, along the East German Stasi.However, the double blow of the compromise of KGB operations in force by high-level defections of Elizabeth Bentley like the United States and Great Britain Oleg Gordievsky, and the drying up of ideological recruitment after the crushing of Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, led to a decrease in the extent of the KGB building. However, the KGB was assisted by defectors Western mercenaries such as the CIA mole Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen FBI mole, helping to partly counteract its own hemorrhage of skilled agents.Modus operandi Most experts agree that the KGB was then the intelligence agency in the world's most efficient. Like most agencies, the KGB operated residences legal and illegal in its target countries. The legal residences operated from the Soviet Embassy by diplomatic immunity, so if the capture or the discovery of espionage, legal residents were free from prosecution. At best, the collection of information of legal residence would be compromised or the KGB recalled the legal resident in the home or host country to expel him.Whereas staying illegally spied without diplomatic immunity from prosecution (as the unofficial coverage of the CIA). Especially in its early years, the KGB illegal residences often valued more legal residences, mainly because illegal immigrants operate in plain clothes easier to infiltrate targets.Using the ideological attraction of the first worker-peasant state, and later the fight against fascism and the Great Patriotic War, the Soviets managed to recruit spies high level, however, the signing of the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop The defeat of the Hungarian uprising of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring mostly exhausted ideological recruitment, young radicals were repelled by the Red Army violations of sovereignty and leadership of the Geriatric Brezhnev. Instead, the KGB turned to blackmail and bribery to recruit agents of the West.At legal residencies, operations were divided into four main sectors: political, economic, military strategic intelligence and disinformation, "active" measures in the language of espionage (PR Line), cons-Intelligence and Security (KR Line ), and science and technological intelligence (X Line), which has become increasingly important throughout the Cold War. Other major activities included the collection of SIGINT (RP Line), illegal support (N Line), and a section devoted to emigrants (MA Line). illegal residences tend to be more decentralized and lacked official organizational structures.The KGB, like its Western counterparts, has divided his staff on the intelligence officers who provided information and inspectors, who relayed the information to the Kremlin and were responsible for keeping track of and paying agents. Some of the most important agents, such as the Cambridge Five, had multiple controllers during their careers in espionage. Ironically, Kim Philby, who had thought of himself as a KGB officer, was brutally aware of this distinction when he defected to the Soviet Union as a foreign agent, it was not even allowed to enter the headquarters of the KGB.To provide cover for illegal immigrants who are often born in Russia, the KGB constructed elaborate legends for them, involving assume the identity of a "double life", which gave his identity to help manufacturing, or death of a "double", whose identity was based on a real (though deceased) person, but has been heavily modified by the KGB itself.These stories are usually completed by the agent to live the role given to him by the KGB in a foreign country before arriving at its final destination, one of the KGB's favorite tactics was to send agents to the states United through his stay in Ottawa, Canada. KGB agents practiced standard espionage craft such as recovery and photographing secret documents using hidden cameras and microfilm, code names to hide communication officers, contacts, objectives, and use of boxes dead letter to relay intelligence.In addition, the KGB made skillful use of agents provocateurs who infiltrated the entourage of a target by posing as sympathizers of the target or group. These provocative agents were then used to sow discord influence, or help arrange kidnapping or assassination operations.
