It roughly combined the powers and activities of the Central Intelligence Agency, Border Patrol, FBI (in part supplanted by MVD- formerly NKVD) and in bodyguarding celebs and Soviet politicians- the Secret Service- also preventing counterfeiting a Federal level crime. there was at least one KGB intelligence operative on every Soviet Submarine, and there is some evidence the agency had its own spy subs. There was and is-though inevitably scaled back, nothing quite like the KGB.

The purpose of the KGB was to spy on other countries for Russia. It was the largest spy organization in the world and stood for Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti.
