Since you're interested... :-)
The Russian State Security Forces, through the ages:
ChK right after the revolution.
GPU during the twenties.
NKVD during the thirties and forties.
MGB during the fifties.
KGB until perestroika.
And now, the FSB.
I was going to write them all out, and what they stand for, in Cyrillic, but then I got bored of accidentally hitting the letter C when I wanted an S, etc.
whoa...cheerful!
