The KGB was the secret service agency of the former Soviet Union. It's task was to gather information which was considered to be a threat to Soviet security. In other words, the members of KGB were spies,and functioned both domestically and internationally. Other nations had reason to fear the KGB because it sought to gather secrets during the Cold War period. Soviet citizens had reason to fear the KGB because it recruited ordinary Soviets to spy on family, friends, neighbours and colleagues. Many nations have an intelligence gathering (spy) agency for both international and domestic purposes.
