Soviet Secret Police

By: Alyssa and Matt




 * T**he Russian secret police was established in December 1917 as a temporary institution to be abloished, once vladimir lenin and the Bolsheriks had consolidated thier power. The Bolsheviks relied on a strong secret or political police to buttress their rule. The oringinal Cheka,headed by Feliks Dzerhinskil, was empowered only to investigate "counterreveolutionary" crimes.The Secret police embraces members of any police task that operates,often out of uniform without giving warning to the suspect.Tied into the secret police was the KGB(Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti) meaning commitee for the state security in English. The KGB was established in 1954. The KGB was the most durable or security agencies starting with the Cheka.

In Animal Farm the dogs relate to the security police because they protect Napolean just as the secert police does for the CPSU ans their familys.
