:thumbsup If my sources are correct, on December 20, 1917, the Extraordinary Commission to Combat Counterrevolution and Sabatoge was created. Happy Cheka day everyone!

This should be a mourning day for the cheka´s victims... My condolences.

Esteban
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
The Who, Won't get fooled again

Sorry, if I offended anyone...I have always assumed without the Cheka the Soviet Union could not have been created. You usually need a police state to make people happy or sad in a socialist utopia. With that said, it would be quite difficult to collect Soviet militaria today, if the Soviet Union never existed. Regardless, please forgive me if I have offended someone. Merry Christmas
