There is one single reason why Communism succeeded in Russia: rather than Lenin's oratory, it was the formation of the Cheka (The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission) under Felix Dzerzhinsky - a ruthless killer and Vladimir Putin's predecessor as head of the Russian secret service and hero. This is the first history of the struggle of the Russian secret service with the party to gain control over the state and what drives it. This book makes clear that behind Putin stands a hundred year organisation with overriding values of its own, ready to replace him should that be necessary - like Russian dolls.
Dr Yuri Felshtinsky was a Fellow of the Hoover Institute, University of Stanford. He wrote bestseller Blowing up Russia ('Crucially important' Prof. Robert Service, Oxford University) with Alexander Litvinenko (Netflix bio-series in 2023). Colonel Vladimir Popov was a KGB operative from 1972 to the KGB putsch in August 1991 in which he refused to take part. He emigrated to Canada where he currently resides.
