Established in 1954, as a direct successor to such previous agencies as Cheka, NKGB and MGB, a committee was attached to the Council of Ministers. It was the main government agency of “trade-republican jurisdiction”, as internal security, intelligence and secret police. Similar agencies were established in each of the republics of the Soviet Union apart from Russia, and consisted of many ministries, state committees and state commissions. The KGB was a military service and was governed by laws and regulations of the army, similar to the Soviet Army or MVD Internal Troops. Although most KGB archives remain classified, two online documentary sources are available. Its main functions were foreign intelligence, counterintelligence, operational-investigative activities, surveillance of the state border of the USSR, supervision of the management of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Soviet government, organization and guarantee of government communications, as well as the fight against nationalism, dissent and anti-Soviet activities. After the dissolution of the USSR, the KGB was divided into Federal Security Service and the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia.
