    I guess this is relevant, so i will post Kryuchov's (Lenin's)message:
    today is the Birthday of 'Iron' Felix Dzerzhinsky. a great communist and founder of the Cheka later known as the NKVD and the KGB.

    Felix Dzerzhinsky, the son of a Polish landowner, was born in Vilno in 1877. He joined the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party and helped to organize factory workers into trade unions.

    Dzerzhinsky was arrested in 1897 but managed to escape from Siberia two years later. He went to Warsaw where he joined the Social Democratic Party of Poland that had been formed by Rosa Luxemburg and Leo Jogiches in 1893.

    Dzerzhinsky was arrested again and spent another nine years in Siberia until being released as a result of the political amnesty that followed the February Revolution and played an active role in the October Revolution.

    In December, 1917, Vladimir Lenin appointed Dzerzhinsky as Commissar for Internal Affairs and head of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage (Cheka). In September, 1918, Dzerzhinsky instigated the Red Terror that followed the attempt by Dora Kaplan on the life of Lenin. He was also responsible for dealing with the sailors arrested during the Kronstadt Uprising. According to Victor Serge over 500 sailors were executed for their part in the rebellion.

    Dzerzhinsky was appointed as People's Commissar for Transport in 1921. However, he remained in control of Cheka and in 1922 he transformed it into the State Political Administration (GPU).

    In January 1924 he was appointed chairman of the Supreme Council of National Economy. With the support of Joseph Stalin, he was elevated to the Politburo. Felix Dzerzhinsky died of a heart attack on 20th July 1926.



    Long Live Dzerzhinsky!!!!!!

    for millions of counter-revolutionists. Dzerzhinsky was a great man , a true revolution hero and one of the best communists of the RSDRP.
    I have recently read his biography. And I am impressed how strong this man was.

    By the way, heart attack started right after Dzerzhinsky had finished his speech on the Party's Congress.

    Great man, Great communist, Great revolutionist!!!
    Felix Dzerzhinsky will always live in our memory...

    Yes even western sources admit he was the most fanatical Marxist of his era. Unlike the likes of Trotsky he did not take a former Tsar's palace to live in, but just a normal appartment. He simply could not be corrupted by bribes or materialist gains.

    How many millions? Just 50,000 (and those are from Western History books so the figure is probably alot lower) in a time of revolution and civil war.

    ''That morning, my father took my hand and we went out. I saw how upset all the Algerians looked and how the French were rejoicing. I asked my father what had happened. He gravely replied: 'Stalin is dead...' I asked who Stalin was. My father said: 'He was the greatest man of our time. He was the leader of the Soviet Union, the greatest revolutionary country. Stalin was the son of a cobbler.' And I thought the son of a cobbler, someone like me...' Algerian Revolutionary in fight against French Imperialism.

    The World Revolution is ongoing history. Even if you win the war, which I don’t think you will, the World Revolution will not and cannot be stooped by military means, Your very powerful army can do much harm to us, can kill many of our people - but it cannot kill ideas! Its movement might seem dormant to you at the moment, but it s there and will come to the fore again out of the awakening of the poor, the downtrodden orginary people the world over in Africa, the Americas, in Asia and Europe too. People in their masses will one day understand that it is the power of capital over them which not only oppresses and robs them, but stifles their human potential, which either uses or discards them as mere pawns to make monetary profit out of the,. Once the people grasp that idea, it will mature into an almost material force in popular uprisings like spreading wildfires and will do what has to be done in the name of humanity. It will not be Russia who will do it for them, although the Russian working people were the first who have borken the chains. The people of the will do it for themselves in their own countries, against their own oppressors, in their own ways and in their own time!’

    Good. I see some will honor the memory of the great man. He is also said, as far as i have read, to be extremly honest and he loved nature. He would spend hours taking walks in the parks and such.

    If that's true, I like him already. That's a very naive thing for me to say, but so be it.
