Errors
The article needs lot's of improvements.


 * 1) .MGB USSR - intelligence Agency??
 * 2) When it clearly states below the tasks it use to preform
 * 3) From 1943? to 1956??
 * 4) The article is about MINISTRY!!
 * 5) So why is the date 1943?
 * 6) Especially when there is an article about Commissariat of state security NKGB created in 1943? So when am going to make article about Cheka am going to call it FSB/SVR/FPS etc.. Ignoring KGB? 1956? When it really was integrated in to MVD USSR in 1953? And MVD was integrated in 95% into KGB in 1954?

MGB Reformation
There's been talk of a reformation of the MGB since at least 2016, with a Kommersant article, a trusted source on Wikipedia, discussing it. There's various articles in English including by the AEI, Russia Beyond, and The Barents Observer all sourcing said Kommersant article. Throughout the War in Ukraine I have seen several Ukrainians and Russians alike referring to the MGB as an existing organization, that combined with the articles makes be believe that this page should be expanded to include this reformed organization, but I am not confident enough to just do that myself without hearing the opinions of other editors. At the very least I believe the Kommersant article should be mentioned. Any other thoughts or opinions on this? Nien Nunb (talk) 02:39, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
