On the interaction of special services and revolutionaries
The interaction of the special services and revolutionaries was discussed in the plot of the Day TV channel, where the expert and blogger Remy Meisner became a guest. The presenter of the broadcast begins the conversation by mentioning the book of Eduard Limonov, where he describes his presence in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center and interrogations by FSB officers.
Limonov writes in his book that a portrait of Felix Dzerzhinsky hung on the wall of the office where interrogations were conducted. From the writer's statement: “Guys, but Dzerzhinsky spent half his life in prison, and you are the secret police, you tormented him! How so ... "And they answered Limonov:" So he is the creator of our organization. "
The author of the broadcast notes that the special services even under this interesting example underwent significant changes, starting a struggle with the system, then they themselves became a system.
Remy Meisner recalls the provocations of the royal secret police, who used the methods of “drunken conversations in taverns about the need for a conspiracy against the king.”
Meisner:
The blogger with irony recalls the situation in stories, which at times reached the point of absurdity: they "grazed" almost every Frenchman under Alexander I in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but as a result, "it turned out that they had been talking with the Decembrists there for 10 years."
