Felix Dzerzhinsky - back to Lubyanka?


Not yet, but the chances are that the man who presided over the bloodbath of Red Terror, the infamous murderous fanatic Iron Felix, will soon grace the environs of the Lubyanka square.
Moscow authorities allowed a referendum on the restoration of the monument to Dzerzhinsky on Lubyanka Square. Earlier the communists were forbidden to hold a referendum...
It is not a done deal yet, granted, but seeing the prevailing mood in nowadays Russia, there is a high probability of the butcher's image coming back. Which will make the commies happy, no doubt.

Oh, and the return will surely improve the motivation of the folks sitting in that building on Lubyanka...

What has been will be again.

Something is very fishy here: As a youngster Dzerzhinsky became fluent in four languages: Polish, Russian, Yiddish, and Latin.

The (unconfirmed) rumors say that his dad was Jewish. However, not a single historical research goes into the issue. By now I would have expected the story aired everywhere if it were true.

According to Wiki:
His aristocratic family belonged to the former Polish szlachta (nobility), of the Sulima coat of arms.
...As a child, before taking to Marxist ideology, Felix considered becoming a Jesuit priest.


Not exactly the standard Juice...

One man's terrorist, etc. Orange jews, apple jews, whatever.

Yes, the priest thing fits his profile of a fanatic looking for a cause.

That is true.

MPAC - yeah, these guys do suffer from a collective malady, so far unnamed yet by the medical science.

This link, however, is priceless. Many thanks.
