==Rise of the Soviet Spy System==
After the rise of the Soviet Union, various organizations were formed that took some of the earlier lessons from the secret police organizations that were used by the tsars. The first was Cheka, then People's Commissariat for State Security (NKGB), the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD), which was based on the GPU established in the 1920s, and Ministerstvo gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti SSSR (MGB). These agencies often succeeded each other or overlapped, but they also generally focused on domestic and foreign espionage.
Perhaps the most famous development in this time was the rise of the KGM (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti) that occurred in the Soviet period. However, in many cases, the general structure of international spying developed in 1810 remained in the Soviet system, although with a lot of restructuring during the many decades. The GRU continued to do most of the spying after the establishment of the Soviet Union.
