Learning The Official Identity Of The KGB

I'm sure a lot of people will abhor James Bond and his slew of spy copycats for the tainted reputation the KGB obtained over the 20th century. Hollywood has made a criminal out of these Russian spies and made audiences hate the people associated with this three letter-named intelligence agency. But unfortunately, there are so many things that people failed to learn about the KGB, which group was completely disassembled with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti, or Committee for State Security, operated as an umbrella group covering the intelligence, security, and secret police engagemets of former Soviet Union (specifically from 1954 up to 1991). To put it more simply, the operation of KGB is very much aligned to that of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of United States. KGB had its origin back in the times of Vladimir Lenin when the Soviet Union was slowly founding itself as a Communist superpower. The agency was involved in various espionage and counter-espionage activities, primarily against the prosecutors of communist Soviet Union. KGB spies were usually given assignments to spy on primary government officials to extract information that are significant to the state security and empowerment. Espionage is something very substantial to every nation, and it would be unfair for KGB to be accused for exercising its state power and obligation, while the American and British intelligence agencies are the doing the same thing, don't you think?
