Cheka - 1917 to 1922
QUOTE
The Cheka ( Extraordinary Commission )
was the first of a succession of
Soviet
state security organizations. It was created by a decree issued on December
20, 1917, by
Vladimir Lenin and subsequently led by
aristocrat turned
communist
Felix Dzerzhinsky.
After 1922, the Cheka underwent
a series of reorganizations into bodies whose members continued to be
referred to as "Chekisty" (Chekists) into the late 1980s.
From its founding, the Cheka was an
important military and security arm of the Bolshevik communist government. In
1921 the
Troops for the Internal Defense of the Republic (a branch of the
Cheka) numbered 200,000. These troops policed
labor camps, ran the
Gulag system,
conducted
requisitions of food, subjected political opponents (on both the right and
the left) to
torture and
summary execution, put down (peasant) rebellions, riots by workers, and
mutinies in the
Red Army,
which was plagued by desertions.

The Wiki gives a low key view of their evil. The Wiki has its very own
agenda.
The Mitrokhin Archive at page 30 et seq tells us that in the early days of the Cheka it was amateurish. It learned from the Ochrana and experience. It was also paranoid about foreign conspiracies from the start, getting worse with time especially under Stalin.
Trotsky And The Cheka
QUOTE
After the Bolsheviks had seized power, Trotsky declined Lenin’s
offer to be party leader, choosing instead the post of commissar of foreign
affairs and then commissar of the Red Army, which he commanded with an iron hand
during the subsequent civil war. The Bolsheviks’ crackdown on dissent began
almost immediately, however, and in it Trotsky adopted − and long afterward
defended − the proposition that to safeguard the revolution (meaning the
Bolsheviks’ one-party rule), any means was justified, including mass executions
and hellish exile to cow dissidents of all stripes. With Trotsky’s conversion to
Bolshevik orthodoxy, Rubenstein observes almost angrily, “the country was now in
the hands of determined Marxists who would stop at nothing to hold onto power
and impose their ideological views.”.............
After the Bolshevik revolution, however, Trotsky apparently
regarded his Jewish origin as a handicap. When Lenin urged him to accept the
position of commissar of home affairs, for example, Trotsky declined for fear
that placing a Jew in the role of the regime’s “chief enforcer” would hand the
enemies of the revolution “a useful tool,” in Rubenstein’s words. And during the
civil war, he fretted, presumably for the same reason, over the relatively high
number of Jews in the Cheka (secret police).

This review was written by a Jew, for Jews about a Jew. They are
prone to tell the truth among themselves.
