What is the Russian KGB?

The Russian KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopasnosti) or the Commitee for state security, was the agency that was charged with protecting the security of the Soviet Union. The duration of the KGB was from 1954 to 1991. They were the most feared opposition in the cold war. The KGB was responsible for external espionage(the practice of spying), internal counter-intelligence, and internal ‘crimes against the state’. The KGB is similar to the CIA, only the CIA gone wrong. It was established by Nikita Khrushchev.
