What is the KGB

In this new video from Unprofesor we will explain "What is the KGB".

What is the KGB? The KGB is the acronym that; translated into our language, they mean "the committee for state security". That is, the KGB brought together the intelligence agency and the main secret police agency. So that we get used to the idea, It is as if the CIA and the FBI were in a single entity. They were secret policemen and spies. The KGB, was active since 1954 to 1991 (when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics falls) therefore the KGB disappears. What was the KGB trying to do? What they were trying was obtain and analyze all the intelligence information of the nation. In other words, it was the center where he received all the information, processed it, and made decisions. As you can see at the time, we are in the middle of the cold war. What the KGB tries is to monitor public opinion, it tries to control internal subversion (that is, there are no elements subversives within its own borders), attempts to dismantle possible subversive and destabilizing plots throughout the bloc communist. I mean, try

prevent the occurrence of unbalanced subversive attitudes or that hostile acts may be perpetrated against the state. The KGB had a lot of autonomy and independence and in fact it was above many governmental entities of the USSR. They were also above all, responsible for censorship, propaganda and the protection of the state.
