This photo was taken in 1922.

On it - the GPU collegium (the former Cheka) in full force.

In this photo, people who unleashed red terror in the country and made extrajudicial executions, lawlessness and turned the court into a mocking farce.

Their great services to the dictatorship of the proletariat were not in vain and were evaluated by their karma.

The system of lawlessness created by them gradually spread its wings, chased its creators and eventually overtook them all.

Of all the people in this photo, only two died with their own death "from a heart attack," which, incidentally, were unlikely to be heart attacks.

None of them survived the Great Terror, which he himself unleashed.
