the NKVD was the predecessor to the KGB, much like how the US had their OSS more or less turn into the CIA.
Whoooa-ooaahh!!!
That’s, that’s not even a comparison you can make, that’s insane!
The nkvd was a monstrous organization that controlled every aspect of Soviet civilian life, it was Stalin’s personal enforcement arm, responsible for all the purges and executions.
The hundreds of underaged girls he raped and tortured are literally the least of his crimes.
Comparing the nkvd with the Cia? I don’t even understand how you can try.
The KGB exists because the nkvd was utterly out of control under Stalin and they wanted something a bit less insane. Still a brutal arm of state security, but the NKVD was schizophrenic serial killers on meth.
The US has never, EVER in our history had anything that can remotely compare to either. The Cia specifically operates against foreign targets, there were very few exceptions to that rule.
