Do Americans actually think the KGB does not exist any more?

Question

LMAO, you are really ignorant

Answer 1

Who do they think runs such countries as Kazakhstan, Belarus and Russia? Even when the names changed and the KGB morphed into organized crime ("Russian Mafia") the (absence of) morality and the expendabiliy of life and the environment remained unchanged.

But the concentration of wealth and power in a few can lead to the same or similar results. And the Bush Administration has a wish list that could well have come from the ex-KGB: dynasties, government tied to the military-industrial complex, a shrinking middle class, a new billionaire aristocracy, corruption, tax evasion, a depreciating currency.

Answer 2

The KGB was dissolved when its chief, Colonel-General Vladimir Kryuchkov, used the KGB's resources in aid of the August 1991 coup attempt to overthrow Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. On August 23, 1991 Colonel-General Kryuchkov was arrested, and General Vadim Bakatin was appointed KGB Chairman--and mandated to dissolve the KGB of the Soviet Union. On November 6, 1991, the KGB officially ceased to exist. Its services were divided into two separate organisations; the FSB for Internal Security and the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) for Foreign Intelligence Gathering. The Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti (FSB) is functionally much like the Soviet KGB.

Answer 3

Just like in the past the KGB was replaced by FSB. The power of FSB today is even more unchecked than was in KGB times. In the past there was the polite bureau that controlled KGB. Today the president and the entire government is from FSB. The second or even the first man some say in the country Sechin controls the FSB. He is one of the closes allies of the president.

Answer 4

Americans have already not paying attention that much on KGB because of the Soviet Collapse. North Korea and Iran are more threatening than Russia nowadays.

Answer 5

They do, I still wear KGB shoes. You are talking about the good old days Nike shoes right>?

Listen dowg!,, there is no USSR, and that means there is no KGB, just like if there was no USA, there would be no CIA. You got KGB left over thugs, that sells weapons, and smuggle chemicals to their client countries, and that is not the real KGB, they are not doing anything for Russia, they are doing this for themselves, and for money.

Answer 6

The President of Russia is the former head of the KGB; therefore, it still exists. Communism is alive and well in Russia.

Answer 7

No one. No government in the world with the kind of totalitarian history Russia had would ever really dissolve it. It just got a new name, and a little more politically correct. New people at the top, same old files and dirty secrets. Some probably date back to the Czars.

Answer 8

Call it what you want..there will always be a bad element in Russia.

Answer 9

it exist
