The KGB of the Soviet Union is so powerful, but why is it notorious?

An Englishman, a Frenchman and a Soviet are chatting together.

Englishman: The happiest thing in life is to come home on a winter night, sit in front of a warm fireplace and drink tea in wool pants.

Frenchman: You British people really lack interest. The happiest thing should be to go to the Mediterranean for a holiday with a graceful blonde, and then we can make up again.

Sue: The happiest thing is to be awakened by a quick knock at the door in the middle of the night and be told after opening the door. I work for the National Security Council, Ivan. You're under arrest. ?

No , you 're going the wrong way. Ivan is in the next room. ?

This? Soviet National Security Council? Is it short for KGB? The KGB, an important intelligence agency of the Soviet Union, was organized by the Soviet intelligence department from March 1954 to October 619165438+/kloc-0? Cheka? And the General Administration of National Security under the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Stalin's time.

(1987, 33rd anniversary of KGB)

Obviously, the KGB was created by Khrushchev, and Stalin was earlier? Cleaning? The atmosphere of terror at that time was mainly shared by Cheka and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Build? And become. Objectively speaking, the bad reputation of the Soviet era cannot be entirely attributed to the KGB? Back pot? .

The Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs is similar to the police system, but its power is much greater than that of the police. The staff of the internal affairs forces are not civil servants, but active servicemen.

(The picture below shows Boris, the last interior minister of the Soviet Union with a strong KGB background? Kalovics? In Pugo after the failed coup, the old man and his wife both shot themselves and died in the Soviet Union. It's really hard. Klyuchnikov, the big boss of KGB, was released for three years. More ironically, this tough old man turned out to be Latvian. )

The KGB, on the other hand, is similar to our Ministry of National Security, subordinate to the intelligence agency, staffed by civil servants, and similar to the subordinate departments of the National Security Agency. Just the so-called? Affiliation has long existed in name only, and the power of KGB not only exceeds that of its own father? The Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is above almost all departments, can arrest, detain or even extort confessions by torture and execute the death penalty without legal procedures.

The KGB has its own independent army, usually special forces, such as the famous? Signal flag? . This tradition was inherited by modern Russia, and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it was owned by the Russian Federal Security Service. Mainly abroad, specializing in subversion and anti-subversion, warning Russian targets abroad, rescuing hostages and handling emergencies. And it is similar to the CIA in daily life.

For a long time, although the KGB is on an equal footing with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, its scope of activities is larger than that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It can direct both foreign and domestic espionage activities. Suppress counter-revolutionaries? . The Ministry of Internal Affairs is mainly active in the Soviet Union, which is similar to a kind of coercion? Maintain stability? Organs, their activities have a great intersection, and they work together to create a political and terrorist atmosphere in the Soviet Union.

In the Soviet Union, KGB is a privileged department above enterprises, institutions and laws, and its members are naturally? Privileged class? Although it has made great contributions to domestic anti-western subversion and maintaining social stability; But because of it? Privileged class? A series of abuse of power, corruption and various political and cultural terrorist acts brought by identity, coupled with the horror legend of extorting confessions by torture, are not very popular among the Soviet people.

However, even so, the image of the KGB at that time, at least in the Soviet Union, did not arrive? This infamous step has even attracted groups of elite young people to join.

After strict screening and all-round assessment, it is extremely harsh? Political review? Can we finally get in? System? Yes, they are rare, and they are not ordinary people. Including Putin the Great, who appears in the news every day. During Putin's first presidency, more than half of the important figures in the Kremlin had KGB background. It is said that Putin in those days, besides having two brushes, was also born? Revolutionary family? Light.
