Strictly speaking this agency only existed in the later part of Stalin"s reign. The N.K.V.D or National commissariat for Internal Affairs the strong-armed Soviet Natiinal police were the power-happy watchdogs then. the NKVD operated only within Soviet territory vast as that was, and oliek the F.B.I. had field offices in various cities in The Union. I happen to have in my collection a FED Camera which has acceptance markings of the N.K.V.D. and also marked YCCP (Ukrainian Soviet socialist Republic) This camera was registered, most probably to the Odessa Field Office of the N>k.V.D. I believe the KGB monicker only came out after Stalin"s death. dating to Czarist times were, of coruse Miitary intellilgence agencies and the Corps of Linguists who of course also undertook such message traffic analysis as codes and ciphers- and those bas4d in the many languages of the Union! The Interpreters lot was not an easy one! and still is a most skilled occupation. The Soiviets had a linguistic/cryptographic (Think Tank) since about l936 a the time Uncle Sam had nothing of the sort, this was before the UN, so there were practical (and economic slump conditions) considerations. Hope this is of some help,. Comrade! Code stylus mightier than the Ak-47, N"yet?
