SMERSH is a counterintelligence arm of the Soviet Union's KGB. The name is an acronym of the Russian words SMERrt SHpionam meaning "Death to Spies." In Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, SMERSH was Bond's nemesis. The 007 film series referred fleetingly to SMERSH, but most of the enemy action was committed by members of the terrorist organization, SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion).
SMERSH was the covert wing of the KGB.
SMERSH - James Bond - was created in 1943.

The films and have a number of interesting adversaries, but the longest ones were the Soviets in the novels (starring SMERSH) and SPECTRE in the films. Maybe Quantum of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace will soon become this.
