John Herbert Dillinger was an American gangster in the Great Depression-era United States. He operated with a group of men known as the "Dillinger Gang" or "The Terror Gang", accused of robbing 24 banks and four police stations, among other crimes. Dillinger escaped from jail twice, he was charged with the murder of an East Chicago, Indiana police officer who shot Dillinger in his bullet-resistant vest during a shootout, prompting him to return fire. However, it was Dillinger's only homicide charge, despite his infamy, he courted publicity and the media ran exaggerated accounts of his bravado and colorful personality, styling him as a Robin Hood figure. In response, J. Edgar Hoover Director of the Bureau of Investigation, used Dillinger and his gang as his campaign platform to evolve the BOI into the FBI, developing more sophisticated investigative techniques as weapons against organized crime. After evading police in four states for a year, Dillinger was wounded and returned to his father's home to recover.

He returned to Chicago in July 1934 and sought refuge in a brothel owned by Ana Cumpănaș, who informed police and federal agents of his whereabouts. On July 22, 1934, the police and the Division of Investigation closed in on the Biograph Theater. Federal agents, led by Melvin Purvis and Samuel P. Cowley, moved to arrest Dillinger as he exited the theater, he attempted to flee, but was killed. This was ruled as justifiable homicide. John Dillinger was born on June 22, 1903, in Indianapolis, the younger of two children born to John Wilson Dillinger and Mary Ellen "Mollie" Lancaster. According to some biographers, his German grandfather, Matthias Dillinger, immigrated to the United States in 1851 from Metz, in the region of Lorraine still under French sovereignty. Matthias Dillinger was born near Dillingen in the present-day German state of Saarland. John Dillinger's parents had married on August 23, 1887. Dillinger's father was a grocer by trade and a harsh man. In an interview with reporters, Dillinger said that he was firm in his discipline and believed in the adage "spare the rod and spoil the child".

Dillinger's older sister, was born March 6, 1889. Their mother died in 1907 just before his fourth birthday. Audrey married Emmett "Fred" Hancock that year and they had seven children together, she cared for her brother John for several years until their father remarried in 1912 to Elizabeth "Lizzie" Fields. They had three children, born 1912, Doris M. and Frances Dillinger. Dillinger disliked his stepmother, but he came to fall in love with her; the two began a relationship that lasted 3 years. As a teenager, Dillinger was in trouble with the law for fighting and petty theft, he quit school to work in an Indianapolis machine shop. His father feared that the city was corrupting his son, prompting him to move the family to Mooresville, Indiana in 1921. Dillinger's wild and rebellious behavior was unchanged, despite his new rural life. In 1922, he was arrested for auto theft, his relationship with his father deteriorated. In 1923, Dillinger's troubles led to him enlisting in the United States Navy, where he was a Petty officer third class Machinery Repairman assigned aboard the battleship USS Utah, but he deserted a few months when his ship was docked in Boston.

He was dishonorably discharged some months later. Dillinger returned to Mooresville where he met Beryl Ethel Hovious; the two were married on April 12, 1924. He attempted to settle down. Unable to find a job, he began planning a robbery with his friend Ed Singleton; the two robbed a local grocery store, stealing $50. While leaving the scene, the criminals were spotted by a minister who recognized the men and reported them to the police. During the robbery, Dillinger had struck a victim on the head with a machine bolt wrapped in a cloth and had carried a gun which, although it discharged, hit no one; the two men were arrested the next day. Singleton pleaded not guilty, but after Dillinger's father discussed the matter with Morgan County prosecutor Omar O'Harrow, his father convinced Dillinger to confess to the crime and plead guilty without retaining a defense attorney. Dillinger was convicted of assault and battery with intent to rob, conspiracy to commit a felony, he expected a lenient probation sentence as a result of his father's discussion with O'Harrow, but instead was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison for his crimes.

His father told reporters he was appalled by the sentence. He with no success. En route to Mooresville to testify against Singleton, Dillinger escaped his captors, but was apprehended within a few minutes. Singleton was sentenced to a jail term of 2 to 14 years, he was killed on August 1937, by a train when he passed out, drunk, on a railroad track. Within Indiana Reformatory and Indiana State Prison, from 1924 to 1933, Dillinger began to become embroiled in a criminal lifestyle. Upon being admitted to the prison, he is quoted as saying, "I will be the meanest bastard you saw when I get out of here." His physical examination upon being admitted to the prison showed. The treatment for his condition was painful, he became embittered against society because of his long prison sentence and befriended other criminals, such as seasoned bank ro

Committee for State Security of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic or KGB of ArSSR was the security agency of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic, being the local branch of Committee for State Security of the USSR. It was the principal intelligence agency of Armenia from 1954 to 1991, it was succeeded by the National Security Service after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The KGB in Armenia provided undercover agents to be stationed inside the Armenian Apostolic Church, due to the church's prevalence in the country; the Armenian KGB fell under the direct control of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Armenia, although the Communist Party of the Soviet Union could take control and direct its activities. In 1929, the NKVD of the Armenian SSR, the Armenian equivalent to the national NKVD headquarters in Moscow was dissolved and was reestablished in 5 years as a more organized political department. In February 1941 the People's Commissariat for State Security of USSR was made into an independent institution from the NKVD, before it was reunited again that July.

On 13 March 1954, the Supreme Soviet of USSR made the decision to create a republican affiliate for the Committee of State Security in the republic. During its existence, it was subordinate to the Council of Ministers of Armenian SSR. In April 1990, the KGB headquarters in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, was burned down by rioters as a result of the agency's arrest of four people on accusations of stealing Soviet Army weapons. In September 1991, the Supreme Soviet of Armenia signed the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Armenia, which resulted in the agency's disestablishment in December of that year.
