Since when do national intelligence agencies have globally recognised brands?
KGB, Mossad, MI6? All global brands with distinct reputations and images to maintain.

- goatinaboat 6y agoShowing your age there! FSB is the contemporary version. Indeed, but the KGB brand is so strong it lives on! Most people use it as they would use a brand name like Xerox or Kleenex or Hoover to generically refer to a sinister all knowing Russian spy agency. Even Gestapo lives on as a word decades after it ceased to exist, and Stasi for that matter. Of course intelligence agencies have brands.
