"Vympel", the group of special assignment of KGB of the USSR, was formed by the decision of Council of Ministers of the USSR and Political Bureau CC of the CPSU on 19 August 1981 under the initiative of the Chairman of KGB of the USSR - Jury Vladimirovich Andropov.

 Vympel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The exact lineage is not known but was formed in 1981 by KGB Gen. Drozdov within the First Chief Directorate of the KGB as a dedicated OSNAZ unit specialised in deep penetration, sabotage, universal direct and covert action, embassy protection and spy cell activation in case of war.
Vympel quickly gained the reputation of being the best Russian special forces unit ever, surpassing its GRU and MVD counterparts.
However, after the collapse of the USSR, Vympel was decimated by endless re-organisation and re-definition: it passed under the aegis of the Security Ministry before being receded to the GUO (both institutions were shortlived offspring of the ex-KGB during the Yeltsin era) and finally passed to the MVD.
