Russian Secret Service during the early decades of the Soviet Union, I believe. |

quote: Tio, it's really simple. The Russians/Soviet Union have had a secret police force for years and years and years. The name (and acronym) has changed over the years. NKVD (and I don't know what the acronym stands for) was one of the older versions. Does that make more sense? Anna |

Transliterated, NKVD stands for Narodniy Kommisariat Vnytreniy Del. Translated, that means the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. It predated the formation and rise of the Soviet KGB (Commissariat for State Security). The first Soviet state security organization, the Vecheka, was created in Dec. 1917. The Vecheka (All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-revolution and Sabotage), more commonly known as the Cheka, was folded into the NKVD in 1918. It's history after that point is rather complicated. You can read that detailed history here.

What is a Russian sectet police thing doing on an Andromeda forum? -------------------- ~Full Trancer ~Full Harbinger of the Abyss ~Honary Harpie ~Honary Roman ~Gutterite |

quote: Dunno. You'll have to ask the person who uses "NKVD Secret" as their nickname (just as yours is "Tio") why they are here. That person got banned for trolling. Anna |

You gotta wonder about someone whose screen-name has to do with the Soviet secret police. Yup, that guy was a creep. Glad he got banned. ------------------ |

Can you actually change your name? -------------------- ~Full Trancer ~Full Harbinger of the Abyss ~Honary Harpie ~Honary Roman ~Gutterite |

quote: No, you can't. I seem to remember that if you desperately want to change your name, you can delete your current account and register on Slipstream again with the name you want. The only problem with this is that your post count will not transfer, and you will have to start over as a magog. You also have to be sure that the original account is gone/locked/inaccessable for some other reason, as having more than one account is against board policy. |

quote: What Nora said. But some unfriendly trolls re-register with a different screen-name and return to anger people and pester everyone to death. Not cool. With the except of people like NKVD Secret, the Slipstream has lost a lot of its "skinofevil" types recently. What a relief... ------------------ [This message has been edited by Refractions of Dawn (edited September 28, 2001).] |
