Cheka
Secret police operating in the USSR between 1917 and 1923. It originated from the tsarist Okhrana (the security police under the tsar from 1881 to 1917), and became successively the OGPU (GPU) (1923–34), NKVD (1934–46), MVD (1946–53), and the KGB from 1954.
The name is formed from the initials che and ka of the two Russian words meaning ‘extraordinary commission’, formed for ‘the repression of counter‐revolutionary activities and of speculation’, and extended to cover such matters as espionage and smuggling.
