Best Answer

A three-letter word that is associated with Russia or the USSR, you’re almost certain to hear KGB – short for Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti – or the Committee of State Security.

By the time the KGB got its name and became autonomous in 1954, it was already a stong force, protecting the Soviet state from internal and external threats as well as gathering intelligence worldwide.

The KGB was disbanded in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia’s former president – now prime-minister – Vladimir Putin was a KGB officer in Soviet times
