KGB

 
     
  The former Soviet agency for the collection and analysis of both security and foreign intelligence; also responsible for counter-espionage, counter-intelligence and covert action. The acronym is from the Russian: Komitet Gosudarstvennoye Bezopasnosti (Committee for State Security). Military intelligence was chiefly the responsibility of the Glavnoye Razvedyvatelnoye Upravleniye (GRU). The KGB\'s tasks are now executed by the FSB and the SVR. See also GlavUpDK.
