i think you mean KGB which stands for 'Komityet Gesudarstyennoy bezopasnasti' which translates as 'Committe of State Security', the KGB were the internal security and intelligence agency of the Soviet Union. Formed in 1917 and first known as the 'Cheka' (a contraction of the Russian words for 'extraordinary commission on counter revolutionary activities, then renamed as the 'OGPU' (All-Russian security committe) in the late thirties became the NKVD (Narodny Kommissariat Vnutrennikh Del or peoples comission for internal affairs), in the late 1950's it became the MGB (Ministerstvo Gesudarstyennoy Bezopasnosti or ministry of state security) before renaming as the KGB. One of the most efficient and most feared intelligence agencies throughout the cold war and beyond, the KGB knew every trick in the book, and no trick was too low for them. Succeeded by the FSB (Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti or Federal Security Service) of the Russian Federation, it is still widely known as the KGB, and its personnel have the nickname 'Chekists'. In Belarus, the state security agency still goes by the name of KGB

You probably mean the KGB. Those are the first letters in the Russian name for the Committee For State Security, the Sovit equivalent to the American's Central Intelligence Agency. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December of 1991, that agency has been re-formed as the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, although it is still headquartered in the same building in Dzerzhinksky Square in Moscow that once contained the KGB.

It's KGB not kgp. The KGB is the Russian secret police like the CIA in America.

You can see a reference to the KGB in most of the James Bond movies.

kgp is the official airport code for the Kogalym International airport located in Kogalym Russia. So if you fly to that airport, your bags will have destination tags labelled "KGP".
