To understand the current state of affairs in the political arena, should definitely familiarize yourself with the events of the past and learn the history.The most severely affected by the current situation in the last century.Thus, the events that led to the creation of the Cheka and the actions themselves of the public body, is very affected politics.
General
All-Russian Extraordinary Commission - a body of state security, which has all the powers to implement the liquidation of the counter-revolution in the period of Soviet power, as well as the Civil War.Cheka was established in 1917.
reasons for the creation of the Cheka
After the October Revolution, the authorities began to revolutionary change.This resulted in a major change in the lives of ordinary people, and people began to organize an uprising.To avoid problems, governments have been forced to set up a special unit that would crush the resistance of the new government.They became the Cheka - the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission.Explanation of the abbreviations allows to understand its basic functions.The Authority was established on December 7 as his manager was appointed Dzerzhinsky.
Powers
During the first few months of the existence of the Cheka was a very limited level of authority.The Commission had the right to deal exclusively with the preliminary investigation.But soon its field of action has increased significantly.Already in February 1918, security officers received emergency law and from that moment could make reprisals against rebellious without trial.That is the power of the representatives of the Cheka gave complete freedom of action, they can deal with lynching flesh before the shooting.
At no time was created a number of units, and the Cheka (decoding acronyms - All-Russian Extraordinary Commission) is now able to operate anywhere.During the first half of 1918 operated 365 district and 40 provincial commissions.The representatives of the KGB worked in the Red Army, on the state border, and even engaged in counterintelligence activities abroad.
methods of the Cheka
Deciphering all items of the Cheka activity from the pen of the leader of the proletariat Lenin, who not only worked, but also a theoretical basis for all positions.The state apparatus, Lenin singled Commission an exceptional place."Punishing sword of the revolution" worked variety of methods, ranging from the confiscation of property and imprisonment in concentration camps, ending the hostage-taking and terrorism.In addition, the security officers to achieve their goals through provocation, the introduction of a number of foreign agents and anti-Soviet organizations.
The scope of the Cheka included many of the most different methods, but most of them are in some way directly related to terrorism.Security officers were engaged in the suppression of anti-Bolshevik uprisings, uncovering conspiracies of foreign intelligence services, provision of transport, the fight against homelessness and typhus.The revolutionary ideas of the Cheka could promote in its publications.
Chekists
can not explain what the Cheka, did not tell us more about the Chekists, people who were members of this commission.The government paid much attention to the composition of the staff of this body, trying to send only the best shots.During the entire existence of the commission, its head was one of the founding members of the Bolshevik Party - Dzerzhinsky.Other major body positions held prominent Bolsheviks, who were also professional revolutionaries.The most famous were J. H. Peters, MS Kedrov, MS Uritsky and others.
number of Communists who were members of the Cheka, the figure reached 50%, it was the highest rate among allgovernment agencies.But we got there and disadvantaged people with criminal records, sometimes even with mental disorders who become full members of the Cheka.Explanation of concepts seemingly can not tolerate the kind, but such facts have occurred, especially in commissions on the ground.The members of the Cheka could enjoy absolute power, without taking into account any rules of law and morality.
Terror
methods used members of the Cheka, caused a lot of anti-Soviet speeches dissatisfaction of ordinary people, and even the Soviet intelligentsia, loyal to the Bolshevik regime.All this has led to the fact that a special commission, which was now above all instances, has created all conditions for the prosperity of terror and mass repressions, which began in the 30s.
Disbanding
Power Cheka infiltrated all areas of Soviet life and the beginning of the active promotion of "red terror".As a result, this led only to the fact that the company has suffered from the actions of many people.All this happened only because of the unlimited power of the Cheka (transcript of the concept, see above).An analysis of the events that occurred because of the commission, lets see how exaggerated were her powers, and how much trouble it brought.
