Was it possible for the KGB to ever merge with their arch-rivals the fiercely-independent GRU anytime from WWII onwards? Given the fact that it was the Chairman of the KGB, and not the GRU Director, who had had a seat at the Politburo, it seems incredible that there was never any serious known attempt to bring the GRU under the aegis of the KGB.
