Czechoslovak cipher machines
|
During the Cold War,
Czechoslovakia, or Czecho-Slovakia, 1
was a federal state behind the Iron Curtain.
It was part of the Warsaw Pact and had two
major secret services, both of which had strong ties with the
Russian KGB: the
Státní Bezpečnost (StB),
which was the secret state police, and the
Zpravodajská Správa Generálního Štábu (ZS GŠ),
the military intelligence agency.
In addition, there was Správa 1 (Government Dept. 1), the secret intelligence
agency. The main task of these three organisations was national and foreign
espionage (more...).

Following the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 and the subsequent
collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the state of
Czechoslovakia was peacefully dissolved into
the Czech Republic and Slovakia on 1 January 1993.
