The Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, in addition to its multiple subordinate ministries, has several union-republican state committees (Russian: государственный комитет gosudarstvennyy komitet), sometimes known as state commissions (государственная комиссия gosudarstvennaya komissiya), which are executive departments directly answerable to the Council of Ministers which act on an inter-agency basis. For example, the Committee for State Security (KGB) is the premier security agency of the Soviet state, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs handles regular law enforcement such as policing and corrections of which the KGB has a degree of jurisdictional oversight.
