"Dynamo", also Dinamo (Russian: Динамо, romanized: Dinamo; Ukrainian: Динамо, romanized: Dynamo; Belarusian: Дынама, romanized: Dynama; Georgian: დინამო, romanized: dinamo), is a sports and fitness society created in 1923 in the Soviet Union. The society was an association of multi-sport clubs whose members were drawn from the NKVD and, after World War II, the MVD and the KGB. With the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe after World War II, similar Dynamo societies were established throughout the Eastern Bloc, such as SV Dynamo (East Germany).
