ABSTRACT
The Soviet organization which directs the new warfare is complicated and confusing. Some of the agencies concerned frequently alter their initials: the Secret Police, once the Cheka, changed its title several times before it became the NKVD; and it subsequently called itself the MVD. Terror and diversion abroad are regarded by the Soviets as part of their Foreign Intelligence and are instruments for the safeguard of their own State security. A number of Soviet agencies are interested in the collection of foreign intelligence. The Russian guerillas in the last war were commanded by Partisan General Headquarters in Moscow; all subordinate staff headquarters, and of course the partisan bands, worked on the other side of the German lines. In France the Communist organization was less elastic than in Russia.
