The State Security Agency of the Republic of Belarus is the national intelligence
agency of Belarus. Along with its counterparts in Transnistria and South Ossetia,
it is one of the few intelligence agencies that kept the Russian name „KGB” after
the dissolution of the Soviet Union, albeit it is lost in translation when written
in Belarusian (becoming KDB rather than KGB). It is the Belarusian successor
organization to the KGB of the Soviet Union. Felix Dzerzhinsky, who founded
the Cheka – the original Bolshevik intelligence police – was born in what is now
Belarus and remains a national hero. It is governed by the law About State Security
Bodies of the Republic of Belarus.
