Was KGB better than CIA?

Was the KGB truly superior to the CIA? Could the efficiency and reach of the Soviet intelligence agency really outstrip that of the American counterpart? Or is this a question fraught with historical biases and misinterpretations? Did the KGB's notoriety stem from its perceived ruthlessness or merely from the Cold War era's propaganda machine? How do we objectively compare two organizations with such vastly different mandates and operating environments? Is it even fair to pit them against each other, given their unique roles in global espionage? Or should we instead focus on their respective successes and failures, rather than attempting to declare a winner in this shadowy game of wits?
