KGB's Poison Factory, the Kamera

It is known as the "Kamera," or as KGB veterans might remember it, "Laboratory No. 12." This highly innovative research institution began life in 1921 in a secluded corner of Lenin's Cheka, the first name of the Soviet KGB that today's Russians know as the FSB, which handles domestic security, and the SVR, the old First Chief Directorate of the KGB, responsible for foreign intelligence and "special operations." Kamera, Russian for chamber, is the name that it bore under Stalin. But like its parent organization, it has been renamed and even "abolished" in occasional fits of reform. In 1934, when it was located at No. 11 Varsonofyevsky Lane, just meters away from the main KGB building, Kamera actively developed deadly poisons and gases. According to Alexander Kouzminov, a former SVR bio-spy handler who published "Biological Espionage" in New Zealand, it is it is now the main consumer and supplier of Department 12 of Directorate S of the SVR which handles biological warfare.
