THE BIRTH OF THE SOVIET SECRET POLICE: Lenin and History's Greatest Heist 1917-1927
Deals with the origins of the KGB from the Tsarist Okhrana (the first Russians secret political police) to the OGPU, Joint State Political Directorate, one of the KGB predecessors between 1923 and 1934. Based on documents from the Russian archives, the author clearly demonstrates that the Cheka and GPU/OPGU were initially created to defend the revolution and not for espionage. 16 pages of photos.
