KGB Activities: Espionage, Intelligence, and Influence
KGB activities shaped the covert struggle of the Cold War, extending far beyond traditional espionage. As the Soviet Union’s principal security and intelligence agency, the KGB conducted surveillance, recruited informants, and gathered political, military, and technological intelligence abroad.
Its operations also included counterintelligence, psychological influence, border security, and the suppression of internal dissent. Through clandestine networks and state-controlled institutions, the KGB became a central instrument of Soviet power during one of the twentieth century’s most tense geopolitical rivalries.
