A statue of Feliks Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet secret police, Cheka, was unveiled in front of the headquarters of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) in Moscow on September 11. The statue is a replica of a larger Dzerzhinsky statue, one of the symbols of Soviet repression, which was pulled from its pedestal outside KGB headquarters in August 1991. SVR Director Sergei Naryshkin said at the ceremony for the statue's unveiling that Dzerzhinsky's face on the original and new statues is turned toward Poland and Baltic states "because the threat to Russia from the northwest remains."

The statue of the founder of the KGB, Felix Dzerzhinsky, was toppled from its pedestal in front of K.G.B. headquarters in Moscow in 1991, now a new one has been placed in the same spot.

You initiated a war against the “Northwest,” and now they’re a “threat.”

[Iron Munro]

The FBI should have one of these

Putin is still the KGB boy. He is not only Neo Soviet but Neo Stalinist as well.

You initiated a war against the “Northwest,” and now they’re a “threat.”

Sure, the West "initiated a war" by invading...

Ask Finland, why they were suddenly desperate to join NATO and not rely on Putin honoring their territorial treaties. Okay

[GOPJ]

What FBI goon will be considered the 'founder' of the US Secret Police?

[tlozo]

Sorry, shouldn’t comment before my second cup of coffee. :)

[VeniVidiVici]

I’m sure the Putin cheerleaders will be along shortly to applaud this

[Lurker]

Lavrentiy Beria waits in the wings.

But Putin is a godly man….

[Celtic Conservative]

Why not put up a statue of Lavrentiy Beria while they’re at it?

"...because the threat to Russia from the northwest remains"

Is this Russian propaganda to justify attacking Finland again? Will they bomb their own Mainila village again so they can "justify" attacking Finland?

“What FBI goon will be considered the ‘founder’ of the US Secret Police?”

Not that it bothers the Neocon Cheerleaders, but yes, I would not be surprised if DC starts making statues of Merrick Garland and James Comey.

"...Feliks Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet secret police, Cheka, ..."

Sorry... Its Felix Dzerzhinsky...

Feliks Dzerzhinsky was the founder of the Soviet Cheka Yellow Cab company...
