Something like that. Glavoe Razvedovatel'noe Upravlenie (GRU) stands for "Main Reconnaissance/Intelligence Administration". As far as I know, GRU is under DOD and itself is military in it's "nature", while KGB is totally independent organization and was more about politics.
KGB is pretty much what our Homeland Security Admin. might evolve in... Just like in old communist song: "who was nothing became everything."
But that is topic for a different forum.
