Cheka
A term of terror in the Soviet Union, the KGB was the Committee for State Security of the Soviet Union. Initially it was named the Cheka (Emergency Committee) and founded 20 December 1917, by the instruction of Vladimir Lenin. The Cheka was established by Felix Dzerzhinsky. The Cheka was tasked by the Soviet Politburo with arresting, torturing and executing many tens-of-thousands of dissidents, deserters, reactionaries and counter revolutionaries.
NKVD and the GULAG
In 1922 the Cheka was renamed the NKVD (People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs). The NKVD included the regular public police force of the USSR, including traffic police, border guards and archives. The NKVD is most notorious for running the GULAG forced labour camps, conducting mass extra-judicial executions, espionage, political assassinations and enforcing Stalinist policy within communist movements in other countries. GULAG was the acronym for Main Administration of Corrective Labour Camps.

The research was initiated by the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Ad-ministration. The key objective of the study was to describe mechanism of informal economic relations in state as well as in commercial sectors and to estimate their impact on economic effectiveness.
The problem we’ve faced from the beginning was that the concept of “informal economic relations” or more commonly “corruption” is not clearly defined, in particular there is an obvious lag between nega-tively perceived “corruption” that’s typically ascribed to some more or less distant representatives of state institutions, and daily practices of informal economic relations, in which people are often person-ally involved but often do not perceive such relations as a part of “corruption”.

"the heart and soul of Soviet Intelligence".
41. Infiltration And Subversion
Kalugin described Active Measures as: "Subversion: active measures to
weaken the West, to drive wedges in the Western community alliances
of all sorts, particularly NATO, to sow discord amongst allies,
42. to weaken the United States alliance to the people of Europe, Asia,
Africa, Latin America, and thus to prepare ground for Revolution."
43. Yuri Andropov chairman of KGB
The
Andropov
Institute
The Andropov Institute
of the KGB

fund just about every anti-war movement & organisation in
America, Great Britain, throughout Europe and South Africa.
53. Oleg Kalugin
The Battle for Hearts and Minds
According to Oleg Kalugin:
"Soviet Intelligence was really unparalleled…
54. a KGB programme which would run all sorts of congresses, peace
congresses, youth congresses, festivals, women's movements, trade
union movements, campaigns against the US in Europe…
55. allegations that AIDS was invented by the CIA, all sorts of forgeries
and fake materials were targeted at politicians, the academic
community and at the public at large."
56. Toppling Governments and Setting up
Puppet Regimes
The KGB was involved in undermining and installing governments.
57. The KGB played a key role in installing puppet communist regimes
throughout Eastern Europe,
60. The KGB coordinated mass political
repressions and the establishment
of subordinate secret services
in all occupied territories.
61. The last attempted coup organised by the KGB in the uprising against
Boris Yeltsin during the Russian constitutional crises of 1993, led to the
abolition of the KGB and its replacement with the Federal Security
Service and the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
63. indexAn Agent Provocateur is an undercover agent who acts to entice
another person to commit an illegal, or rash act, or falsely implicates
others in taking part in the illegal act.
64. The goal of the Agent Provocateur is to discredit, or harm, another
group by provoking them to commit a crime, or implicating them in a
crime to undermine the group, protest, or movement, as a whole.
65. In the Trust Operation
(1921-1926) the Soviets
set up fake anti-Bolshevik
underground organisations,
including the Monarchist Union
of Central Russia,
to control and neutralise
monarchists
and other
counter-revolutionaries.
66. Ku Klux Klan march
The KGB used Provocateurs to entrap and discredit anti-communist
groups, which they described as reactionaries and counter-
revolutionaries.
67. Soviet guerrilla partisans in the forest near Polotsk, Byelorussian SSR
September 1943.
Betrayal of Resistance Fighters
After the Second World War, many NKVD agents were sent to join and
penetrate independence movements and to create puppet rebel
forces,
68. who were even permitted to attack local Soviet authorities, to gain
credibility and exfiltrate senior NKVD agents to the West and to
neutralise and betray true resistance movements and partisans.
70. Ion Miha Pacepa--KGB
Ion Mihai Pacepa declared
that the KGB was the
primary instructor of
guerrillas worldwide.
General Sakharovsky
claimed that:
"Aeroplane hijacking
is my own invention”.
71. In 1969 alone, 82 aircraft were hijacked worldwide
by the KGB financed PLO.
87. Assassination Attempt
The KGB was also implicated in Mehmet Ali Agca's 1981 assassination
attempt against pope John Paul II because of his strong links
with the anti-Communist Solidarity Movement in Poland.
89. America
Under FDR
The GRU (Military Intelligence
of the Soviet Union)
recruited Alger Hiss,
an American lawyer
and State Department official,
who later was
the first General Secretary
of the United Nations.
90. Alger Hiss was identified by
Whittaker Chambers,
a former Communist
Party member.
91.
92. Chambers also identified Laurence Duggan and Michael Straight in the
State Department and Harry Dexter White in the Treasury
Department, as Soviet Agents.
93. The Profumo Scandal
The Profumo scandal which brought down Harold McMillan's
Conservative government in Great Britain
94. and brought the Labour Party to power in the 1964 general election,
95. was a masterful example of KGB Active Measures,
including entrapment, propaganda and assassination.
97. He was involved
for a short time in an affair
with Christine Keeller,
a 19 year old model,
98. who was also the
girlfriend of Captain
Yevgeny Ivanhov,
the Soviet Naval Attaché.
99. Timing and Assassination
Although this affair had ended in 1961,
the KGB Active Measures timed the publication of the scandal
for 1963, just before the general elections.
100. With the Conservative government disgraced by this public scandal,
the way was clear for Hugh Todd Gaitskell, the leader of the Labour
Party to become the next prime minister of Great Britain.
101. The abrupt and strange death of Gaitskell, at age 56, left an opening
for Harold Wilson to exploit and seize control of the Labour Party and
therefore become the next Prime Minister of Great Britain.
102. Peter Wright's 1987 book, Spycatcher and Soviet defector, Anatoliy
Golitsyn, claimed that Gaitskell was assassinated by the KGB in order
to place their agent of influence, Harold Wilson, (codename: Oldman)
into the key position of Prime Minister of Great Britain.
103. Wilson oversaw the disastrous betrayal of Rhodesia and other key
aspects of the British Common-wealth, as well as the implosion of the
British economy and escalation of the war in Northern Ireland.
104. Neutralizing British Military Intelligence
A spate of Soviet agents infiltrated British Intelligence agencies during,
and after, the Second World War and throughout much of the Cold
War.
110. Sir Roger Hollis
and Sir Roger Hollis, are some of
the better known names of
highly placed Soviet Agents that
caused incalculable damage to
Great Britain and the Free World.
Anthony Blunt and the Cambridge
Spies
111.
112. The Most Destructive Force in Modern
History
It is unlikely that any other Intelligence agency in history has been
responsible for as many arrests, tortures, imprisonments, murders,
massacres, assassinations, launching of foreign wars, sponsoring and
training of foreign terrorist movements, toppling of governments and
funding of so many revolutionary movements worldwide.
113. Mass Murder
The Black Book of Communism
catalogues over 100 Million
deaths between 1917 and 1991
alone, caused by communist
governments, most of them
controlled by the Soviet Union,
or its agents.
114. If one was to add the
casualties of the
Wars of Liberation, and
revolutions sponsored
worldwide by the
Soviet Union and
carried out by its KGB,
the body count
could double.
115. "While they promised them liberty,
they themselves are slaves of corruption."
2 Peter 2:19
116. The Vision of Daniel
"But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets… This great image,
whose splendour was excellent, stood… a Stone was cut out without
hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay,
and broke them in pieces…
117. And the Stone that struck
the image became
a great mountain
and filled the whole earth…
And in the days of these kings the
God of Heaven will set up a
Kingdom which shall never be
destroyed;
118. and the Kingdom shall not be
left to other people;
it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms,
and it shall stand forever."
Daniel 2:28-44
119. The Lord Jesus Christ
declared:
"The Stone which the
builders rejected has
become the chief
Cornerstone. Whoever falls
on that Stone will be broken;
but on whomever it falls, it
will grind him to powder.“
Luke 20:17-18
121. Lubyanka building with statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky – KGB
headquarters
In Lubyanka Square, a huge statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky,
the founder of the Cheka, which later became the KGB,
was erected in 1958.
The Statue and the Stone
122. This statue was directly in front of the Lubyanka, the notorious
Headquarters of the KGB, wherein many Christians were interrogated,
tortured and murdered.
