The KGB of the Soviet Union is so powerful. What does the KGB do? Why is it notorious?

Russian woman's national husband, the current Russian President Putin, who is said to have the courage and ambition of Peter the Great, was born in the KGB. So what kind of organization is the KGB?

KGB, the full name of "Soviet National Security Council", was born in March of 1954 and 13. It died with the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 199 1 and was later transformed into the Russian Federal Security Service. Its predecessor was "Cheka" and "People's Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs". Cheka is the product of Russian October Revolution. Lenin personally entrusted dzerzhinsky, a Polish-born Belarusian aristocrat, to set up a special department, namely the All-Russian Anti-Soviet Committee. At the beginning of its establishment, its function was mainly to consolidate the Soviet regime, crack down on the forces opposed to the Soviet regime at that time and protect the leaders of the Soviet regime. After dzerzhinsky died in 1926, Cheka was changed to the People's Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. With the gradual stability of the regime and the changes in the international and domestic situations, it has both the functions of a secret police and a spy. Later, the People's Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of National Security merged into the new "Ministry of Internal Affairs". Soon after, the new "Ministry of Internal Affairs" was adjusted to the National Security Council, or KGB for short.

The KGB, along with the CIA in the United States, MI6 in Britain and Mossad in Israel, are called "the four major intelligence agencies in the world", but compared with the other three, the KGB is not inferior to them at all, but slightly low-key.

Second, the mysterious, clever and terrible KGB.

Low-key doesn't mean there is no focus. As a spy organization, the KGB will never act in a big way, but their skill is staggering. They have a kind called "?" Our eavesdropping equipment is fired with an air gun in the distance, glued to the external wall of the building, and we can hear the sound on the other side of the wall, but this eavesdropping equipment is only the size of a matchbox, and it is almost imperceptible on the external wall of the building. KGB members can disguise themselves. Various characters who are integrated into life, either celebrities, romantic figures or glamorous, are called crows and swallows, and use seduction to obtain information; Or pretend to be ordinary people, decoration workers, cleaners, in order to quietly install the equipment to the target location. They also kill people in various ways, except knives, guns and sticks, causing accidents, and even inventing assassination weapons with brain holes like mustard gas.

Third, the talented KGB.

Apart from the fact that President Putin was born in the KGB, many famous people were also born in the KGB. Hemingway, the author of "The Old Man and the Sea" and a great American writer, is a member of the KGB, codenamed "Argo".

Samaranch, it is said that Samaranch has been a member of KGB since 1970s, and his becoming the president of the International Olympic Committee is also the result of KGB operation. However, this matter needs further confirmation.

Fourth, it is powerful and notorious.

It has to be said that as a spy organization, being powerful is required by the nature of its mission. In the face of national interests, it always does whatever it takes, which makes it notorious. However, these are all determined by its location.
