MVD stands for Ministerstvo Vnutrennih Del - Ministry of Interior Affairs, in the USSR and nowadays Russia.

In the Soviet era, the Minstry of Interior Affairs also functioned as a secret police. In March 1946 the NKVD was renamed to MVD. (All People's Commissariats (NK) were redesignated Ministries (M). Thus the NKVD became the MVD and the NKGB became the MGB.)

MGB stood for Ministerstvo Gosudarstvennoi Bezopasnosti - Ministry of State Security, in the USSR.

It was a predecessor of the KGB (secret police).
