The System of Russian State Security

The Formation of the Russian State Security Organisation, Management and Organisational Aspects

Abstract

The predecessor organisations of KGB entered the history books in 1917, although their perception still divides Russian society, regardless of the fact that they have undergone constant change and development. Their formation, their purpose, their structure, the tasks assigned to them have always tried to adapt to the changes that have taken place, following and keeping in mind the expectations of the party and the political leadership. The founder and first president of the first organisation was Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky, whose name is still associated with the organisation today.
