Soviet security forces. Mlechin L. M.

The Bolsheviks created the All -Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating and Sabotage in order to cope with the army of officials who boycotted the new power and sabotage the orders of the Council of People's Commissars. But the party leaders quickly understood the price of state security authorities as the most important tool for control over the country. So the security forces appeared, who were not in old Russia. The new book by L. Mlechin tells about the triangle of power: party secretaries, military leaders, heads of special services.
