Nicolas Werth, Who were the first Chekists ?
In the summer of 1918. a commission carried out an investigation on Soviet officials in forty institutions, one of which was the Cheka. The present article is based on the forms filled out in compliance with this investigation and preserved in the Central Archive of the October Revolution (TsGAOR).
In the present article, the author analyzes a representative sample of the rank and file Chekists: in this case, it is a group of 894 employees of the Lubianka. The investigation gives interesting data on the distribution of Chekists according to their positions, on their national origins, on their former occupations before joining the party, etc.
The study of Chekists' itineraries allows to better understand the way in which, in the aftermath of October 1917, one of the elements of the new state apparatus was constituted. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
