Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky, who is very famous in Russia today, was even more famous 90 years ago. Although he is not as famous as Comrade Lenin, he is almost as famous as Comrade Lenin, and of course much more famous than Stalin.
This person is the chairman of Cheka, Cheka is, but later changed to
Are you scared when you see such a long list? It added that the agency had undergone historic changes and its final name was such that seeing the name KGB left nothing to be desired.
Although the KGB created three great men, Alexander Nikolayevich Shelepin, the eagle of the Communist Youth League, Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov, the sixth generation leader of the Soviet Union, and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the current president of Russia, who is more famous than the previous two. But in general, this organization has a bad reputation, which may come from the strict control of the domestic people. Those who failed in the intra-party struggle and were arrested by the KGB were transferred to remote areas and occupied insignificant positions; dissidents were exiled abroad or imprisoned in special mental hospitals; political prisoners among ordinary people were imprisoned like criminals. In prisons and labor camps. It may also be because Stalin's great purges brought huge trauma to the Soviet Union. The National Security Agency, the predecessor of the KGB, arrested and killed a large number of Soviet elites during the Great Purge, causing the Soviet Union to suffer a major setback in the early days of World War II; causing a major setback in the Soviet Union's development; and causing pain to countless families. In fact, it was precisely because Lavrenti Pavlovich Beria was shot dead and accused of treason that the State Security Service was renamed the KGB, breaking with the past.
But in the early days of the Soviet Union, the Cheka made an indelible contribution to the consolidation of Soviet power and national construction. In the organizational structure with the same roots, the Cheka period has a special name, and that's why. The Cheka eliminated social evils such as bandits, hooligans, and prostitutes in Belarus, and suppressed armed rebellions in many cities. The Cheka's de facto subsidiary, the State Political Security Service, protected the personal safety of Soviet leaders, including Comrade Lenin. This includes repairing railway lines damaged by war, improving the lives of poor urban workers, establishing orphan relief agencies, and helping orphans caused by war and famine. All these behaviors can be seen from the positions that Dzerzhinsky held successively or concurrently: Member of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, Minister of Logistics of the South-Western Front, Chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee for the Improvement of Children's Life, Chairman of the Moscow Workers' Life Committee, Chairman of the People's Transport Committee , Chairman of the All-Russian Counter-Revolutionary Committee, Chairman of the State Political and Security Administration Committee of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, Chairman of the Supreme State Economic Council of the USSR, and Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR.
Of course, since the birth of the Cheka, the emblem has been the sword and shield. Dzerzhinsky controlled the internal affairs of the Soviet Union, and his hands could not bleed. In fact, the founding of the Cheka began with Dzerzhinsky's words: "Don't think that I will seek a fair way to revolution." We don't need justice now. This is a face-to-face war, a life-and-death war. I propose and demand the establishment of a counter-revolutionary revolutionary liquidation agency. Dzerzhinsky famously said, "What we represent is self-organized terrorism.". "How frank and decisive, few people in the successors and even the world who are engaged in similar work have such great courage. Even the leader of the Gestapo, the devil Himmler, did not dare to say such a thing. Cheka, just like Dzerzhinsky It said, “Carry out a politics of terror, arrest and eliminate class enemies, eliminate their role before the revolution, eliminate their class alliance, and destroy their body and spirit. “At the beginning of the organization, Cheka comrades did not have uniforms, only some leather jackets of different styles. From then on, the fur coat became a symbol of Soviet internal affairs. Dzerzhinsky's personal style shaped the Cheka into a highly disciplined intra-party fighting organization. The Cheka not only combated counterrevolution, but also, as its name suggested, speculation, laziness and petty theft. According to the authorization of Comrade Lenin and the Supreme Soviet, the Cheka had the right to shoot criminals and arrest hostages without trial to deter reactionary forces.
But in fact, Dzerzhinsky himself was not a dictator, nor was he cruel, nor was he easily killed. He firmly believes in communism and is a kind person with self-control. His nickname "Felix of Steel" epitomizes this. Many comrades of the October Revolution said to Dzerzhinsky: "He only needs three things: work, bread and water." Dzerzhinsky never went to the theater or cinema. He doesn't even have his own home, just an office. Dzerzhinsky left the deepest impression on many people: "The deep eyes shone with the cold light of fanatical belief." He never blinked, as if his eyelids were paralyzed. In 1921, the Soviet regime basically operated throughout Russia, and the form of domestic struggle tended to improve. Dzerzhinsky issued this order: "The Soviet Union should not send workers who engage in petty theft and speculation directly to prison, but should stay in the factory and be influenced by good people; political prisoners will not be shot immediately unless They were involved in terrorism and communal violence." After the founding of the Soviet Union in 1922, Dzerzhinsky reduced the Cheka's membership by half, reorganized it into the General Directorate of Political Security, and handed it over to his close comrade Vyacheslav Vlu. Dolph Mezinsky devoted more energy to economic construction. Dzerzhinsky’s ideals can be seen from his words: “I want to embrace all mankind, pour my love into her, warm her, and wash away the dirt of modern life.
"Although Dzerzhinsky, who was born in an aristocratic family and has been engaged in political struggle all his life, did not know much about economics, miraculously, in the political environment at that time, he relied more on market regulation rather than planned control and achieved great success. It was a pity that Stalin closed his eyes forever and soon overturned his achievements.
Dzerzhinsky was never the most authoritative eagle he led. The Cheka was an independent organization that did not serve individual wishes and did not fight for communist ideals. Almost all of his successors did not end well. Nikolai Ivanovich Yezov was shot with blood on his hands and had to bear the title of public enemy. To this day, they have not recovered their reputation; although Lavrenti Pavlovich Beria had established the Soviet nuclear program. However, he was immediately arrested and executed for faithfully implementing Stalin's purge policy. Even though he intentionally repented after Stalin's death, he was called the "God of Killer" and is still despised by the people; even though he was a hard-working and honest defender. Yacheslav Rudolf Menshinsky was also inevitably called a lackey and was secretly investigated for homosexuality after his death. Only Dzerzhinsky, even his enemies, could not help but admit that he was a real punisher. Sword, loyal to communist ideals, defending the people and fighting enemies. In fact, Lenin did not like him, and Stalin did not like him, but he had to respect him. When the Bolsheviks founded the party and elected members of the Central Committee, Trotsky, the actual leader of the October Revolution and the founder of the Red Army, won the third place, and Comrade Lenin, the founder of the Soviet regime, won the second place. In the early days of the Soviet regime, Comrade Lenin and the Czech Republic. Erzhinsky is recognized as one of the three great men in the world, the other being Yakov Mikhailov Sverdlov, the first head of state of the Soviet regime. After they died one by one, there was no more. The Soviet leaders were as capable, hardworking, and loyal to the cause of the communist revolution. Before the personality cult and the reign of terror, Stalin was most afraid of Dzerzhinsky. I don’t know whether it was Stalin’s luck or Dzerzhinsky’s luck. . Before the conflict broke out, Dzerzhinsky, who was only 49 years old, was exhausted in his office. Three hours before his death, he also pointedly pointed out that since Stalin came to power in his speech to the Central Committee and the Central Supervisory Committee. Question: “I feel scared when I see our party organization, our organizational system, our incredible bureaucracy, inefficiency and extreme chaos. "It seems that at the end of his life, Dzerzhinsky also expressed his beliefs and the source of his strength: "Do you know what my strength is? "That said, I never feel sorry for myself. I firmly believe that everything I do is right and I am willing to dedicate myself to my career. Because of this, everyone here trusts me and loves me. I never Against rational things, but as long as there is disorder, I am against it with all my strength. It is said that when Dzerzhinsky said this, the auditorium was filled with responses: "! It means "agree" in Russian.
Dzerzhinsky’s status in the KGB was almost that of a saint. New KGB members will take the oath to his statue in Dzerzhinsky Square opposite the KGB headquarters building, and then to a bust in the building instead. On the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the statue of Dzerzhinsky was toppled as a symbol of the Soviet terror. Thirteen years later, on September 11, 2004, the Russian government renovated the statue and re-erected it. The official evaluation of the Soviet Union has also been preserved: "In the difficult years of conspiracy and counter-revolutionary actions, the Soviet land was reduced to ashes, and the proletariat fighting for freedom was surrounded by bloody enemies. Dzerzhinsky showed superhuman energy , stay up all night, eat and sleep, and stick to their posts. "The enemies of the working class hate him, but they must respect him. His towering presence, fearless spirit, sensitivity, honesty, candor and absolute loyalty earned him respect. "Even his political enemy Stalin used "burning" to describe his life, admitting that he was a Soviet and made an indelible contribution to the cause of communism.
In the process of establishing the Soviet Union There were many respectable people in the revolution, among whom Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky was the first. In fact, this person, and even many Soviet leaders, could see two completely opposite comments. Now, the world's right to speak is in the hands of the enemies of the Soviet Union, but I think some things just need to be believed, not doubted.
