Overview
The Cheka was the infamous Bolshevik organisation which took control of Russia as Lenin's feared secret police. It was licensed to carry out executions and was responsible for the 'Red Terror' from September 1918. Its brutality knew no bounds and was run by the dreaded Felix Dzerzhinsky, who founded the Gulag Archipelago.
