	Viktor Suvorov. Spetsnaz. Chapter 2. - Spetsnaz and the GRU
		Osnaz means military-terrorist units which came into being as shock troops of the Communist Party whose job was to defend the party.
		Osnaz was later handed over to the secret police, which changed its own name from time to time as easily as a snake changes its skin: Cheka -- VCheka -- OGPU -- NKVD -- NKGB -- MGB -- MVD -- KGB.
		Even if both spetsnaz and osnaz are faced with carrying out one and the same operation the Soviet leadership is not inclined to rely so much on co-operation between the army and the secret police as on the strong competitive instincts between them.
