Comrade Felix Dzerzhinsky returned home . We missed you...
SVR chief Sergei Naryshkin praised Dzerzhinsky as a "symbol of his time" and a "standard of crystal honesty" during the unveiling ceremony on Monday.
"He remained true to his ideals to the end -- the ideals of goodness and justice," Naryshkin said
Polish people were influential in creating the Soviet Union. I hate how our history is rewritten as to denounce this past in favor of the proto-fascist second polish republic. The Polish Bolsheviks are forgotten and so is the people's army, but at least prominent figures like Feliks and Róża have made names for themselves to be internationally recognized by communists.
Was it a vassal of Germany ?
No. Poland gained independence in 1918 after 123 years of not existing on a map by being partitioned.
The polish ruling class will tell you that the partition happened because of the foreign destroying Poland from the inside, but really our nobility has a long standing tradition of selling our country for a pack of cigarettes.
After 1918 we were an independent country of which borders were actually historically remade and we fortunately didn't get the British treatment. And also the whole thing was a fucking mess.
Iron Felix. A great man from a heroic time in human history.
I've never heard of him
He was the founder of KGB or cheka in his time, a close friend of Lenin . My father used to say he was considered as the most honest man in that era . He also took thousands of poor kids from streets and gave them education and shelter
Former polish noble who joined the Bolsheviks and founded and headed the Cheka. Known for three things:
- Being the bane of anyone conspiring against the Bolsheviks.
- Being a workhorse with extremely high moral integrity.
- Caring about Children.
There's a whole city named after him
He was a hero of the people. Folks should read his autobiography!
