On September 11, 1877, 147 years ago, Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky, nicknamed Iron Felix, was born.

He is known as a Soviet political figure, founder and first head of the Cheka/GPU/OGPU, People's Commissar of Railways and, at the same time, People's Commissar of Internal Affairs.

Felix Dzerzhinsky was also the chairman of the commission to combat homelessness, and the initiator of the creation of the Dynamo sports society. He died in 1926 from a heart attack.

We're Stalin and Dzierzynsky actually friends or is that also a western lie?

off the top of my head, i believe that dzerzhinsky supported stalin for the sake of party unity rather than for personal friendship but they appeared to have civil relations (same with menzhinsky & stalin) and i would have to double check on points of disagreement, theoretically and politically

also fun fact stalin wasn't involved in the decision to embalm lenin, it was felix who was tentatively in favor and klim who opposed it

Titanoperdix felixi Zelenkov et al., 2023 (new genus and species)

(Type coracoid of Titanoperdix felixi, from Zelenkov et al., 2023)

Meaning of name: Titanoperdix = titan [in Greek] Perdix [genus of partridges including the gray partridge]; felixi = for Felix Yanovich Dzerzhinsky [Russian zoologist who passed away in 2015]

Age: Pleistocene (Gelasian)

Where found: Malye Goly, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia

How much is known: A fragmentary right coracoid.

Notes: Titanoperdix was a phasianid, a group that includes chickens, partridges, and turkeys. It appears to have been closely related to extant partridges in the genus Perdix, such as the gray partridge (P. perdix). However, it was much larger, being about the size of a male black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix).

“Where there is love there should be trust…

...The man who believes in an idea and is alive cannot be useless if he does not himself renounce his idea. Only death, when it comes, will have its word to say about uselessness. But as long as there is a glimmer of life and the idea itself is alive, I shall dig the earth, do the roughest work, give everything I can. And the thought is soothing, makes it possible to endure the torment. A man must do his duty, follow his path to the end. And even when the eyes no longer see and are blind to the beauty of the world, the soul knows of this beauty and remains its servant. The torment of blindness remains, but there is something above this torment – there is faith in life, in people, there is freedom and the realisation of one’s constant duty....”

- Felix Dzerzhinsky, January 6, 1914

my kingdom for a good english language biography about Felix Dzerzhinsky that isn't pro-Soviet propaganda

[mariacallous]

A bust of Joseph Stalin was installed at the Mednoye memorial complex for victims of wars and repressions in Russia’s Tver region, reports online outlet 7×7, referencing Tver activist Daniil Korpusov. The memorial is at a site where both victims of Soviet repression and executed Polish prisoners of war are buried.

Monuments to Vladimir Lenin, Felix Dzerzhinsky, and Mikhail Kalinin are also being mounted in the complex. Korpusov’s photos show that the opening of the exhibition is scheduled for October 19. The Mednoye website has no information about the exhibition.

“Now the liars have become more skillful — they don't tear down monuments and force you to forget. They chatter on and on about it. And then, when ‘everything isn’t so black and white’ is at its climax, you can throw in the mustached ghoul. So that anyone who, by fate, ends up at a memorial site, won’t see the tragedy of thousands of ruined lives, but a multicolored hodgepodge," Korpusov wrote.
