Google, 09-19-02 members.tripod.com/otlichnik/smersh (SMERSH: The term SMERSH comes from the Russian words "smert' shpionam" or "Death to Spies!". SMERSH was Soviet military counter-intelligence during the later part of WWII. It was officially completely separate from the security organs; the NKVD and the NKGB. SMERSH was a department of the Soviet General Staff. There were actually two SMERSH organizations, one in the Army General Staff and a smaller one in the Naval General Staff. SMERSH was created in 1943 and took over from the Special Sections (osobye otdely or OOs) of the 3rd Directorate (Military Counter-Intelligence) of the NKVD GUGB. It lasted until 1946 when it was incorporated into the 3rd Directorate (Military Counter-Intelligence) of the newly formed MGB. Almost all SMERSH personnel, including its commander Lieutenant-General Viktor Semenovich ABAKUMOV, came from the 3rd Directorate of the NKVD-GUGB) Narkom SMERSha, 2003: p. 101 (UOO NKVD--GUKR SMERSh; the commander of SMERSh was Viktor Semenovich Abakumov) p. 184 (SMERSh--Voennai︠a︡ kontrrazvedka "Smertʹ shpionam") www.universalexports.net/00SMERSH (SMERSH is a conjunction of two Russian words: 'Smyert Shpionam,' meaning roughly: 'Death to Spies') SMERȘ în Basarabia, 2013.
