There is a long-forgotten reason why Communism succeeded in 1923
Russia. Rather than Lenin's oratory, it was the formation of its
secret service the Cheka ('The All-Russian Extraordinary
Commission') under Felix Dzerzhinsky - a ruthless killer and
Vladimir Putin's first predecessor - which assassinated anyone who
opposed Lenin. This is the first authoritative history of the
struggle of the Russian secret service with the Communist party to
gain control over the state, its success in 1999, and what drives
its operatives from 1917 to this day - Putin included. Behind Putin
stands a hundred year old organisation with overriding values of
its own, ready to replace him with someone else from their ranks
should that be necessary (like Russian dolls).
