Committee or commission for State Security. the umbrella agency roughly combined the powers of the American Secret service ( counterfeiting, also protecting Soviet bigwigs and an escort squad for visiting celebrities. Intelligence, cryptography ( codes, etc) military intelligence and counterspy activities- the equivalent of the FBI for domestic law enforcement- only crimes going across republic lines- again like our FBI both agencies had huge files, crime labs, forensics. this is just the beginnings, they also encompassed the roles of the Border patrol and police ( sharing some jobs with the Red Army) the KGB had and used air, automobiles, and MARINE CRAFT and may have had their own submarines for spy purposes. in any case there was a uniformed KGB officer on every Red Fleet submarine- and he answered to KGB, not the Naval high command in Moscow. KGB is arguably the largest organizational structure of its type, roughly comb ine CIA< FBI, part of G-2, Border Patrol, and Secret Service ( anti-financial crimes and bodyguard functions- and you may come close, comrade. It shoudl be noted regular domestic cops in, say Moscow were MVD men, not KGB. Katharine:s Good Boys, indeed!
