About the book: 2013 / Assessments of the personality and activities of Felix Dzerzhinsky still cause a lot of controversy: from “knight of the revolution”, “soldier of great battles”, “fighter for the people’s cause” to the “apostle of terror”, “bloodthirsty lion of the revolution”, “executioner and strangler of freedom”. He was one of the brightest representatives of the galaxy of fiery revolutionaries, the “Leninist guard” - tough, principled, uncompromising and merciless towards the enemies of the socialist revolution. How did it happen that Dzerzhinsky, who held key positions in the government of Soviet Russia, did not even have an education certificate? How did Iron Felix treat women? Why did a zealot of revolutionary legality during the days of the “Red Terror” single-handedly decide the fate of many people without trial or investigation, without feeling any pity , no leniency towards political opponents? What is the true reason for the sudden death of Felix Dzerzhinsky?
