From the opening narration: "For over seventy years, the world's largest nation lived in the shadow of terror. For the first time, you can enter the twilight world hidden behind these walls: The KGB headquarters known as Lubyanka (now headquarters of The Federal Security Service [FSB]). Here, an oppressive communist regime tortured and imprisoned its own people; here, from this command center, some of the greatest spy plots of The Cold War were conceived and orchestrated. Today, we will open Lubyanka's vaults; open KGB files never before seen; we will trace the strange odyssey of Lee Harvey Oswald in The Soviet Union; we will see how the KGB stole the secrets of the American doomsday weapon: the atomic bomb; we will follow the KGB deception that smuggled missiles into Cuba; with actual KGB footage, we will witness how their agents abduct victims; we'll learn why the KBG secretly exhumed Hitler's corpse; KGB agents will expose secrets of spy technology; and we will enter the dark, violent world of what is today's KGB."

The Committee For State Security (Russian: Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti, abbreviated as KGB) was the main security agency of the Soviet Union from 1954 to 1991. It was the direct successor of preceding Soviet secret police agencies including the Cheka, OGPU, and NKVD. Attached to the Council of Ministers, it was the chief government agency of "union-republican jurisdiction", carrying out internal security, foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence and secret police functions. Similar agencies operated in each of the republics of the Soviet Union aside from the Russian SFSR, where the KGB was headquartered, with many associated ministries, state committees and state commissions. The agency was a military service governed by army laws and regulations, in the same fashion as the Soviet Army or the MVD Internal Troops. Its main functions were foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, operative-investigative activities, guarding the state border of the USSR, guarding the Soviet leadership, preserving the security of government communications as well as combating dissident and separatism within Soviet society. On December 3, 1991, the KGB was officially dissolved. It was succeeded in Russia by the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) and what would later become the Federal Security Service (FSB). Following the 1991-1992 South Ossetia War, the self-proclaimed Republic Of South Ossetia established its own KGB, keeping the unreformed name. In addition, Belarus established its successor to the KGB of the Byelorussian SSR in 1991, the Belarusian KGB, also keeping the unreformed name.
