Can you give a little more detail on Skutatov and/or provide a few links? Thanks--HUAC

Well, Wikipedia [http://omniknow.com/common/wiki.php?in=en&term=Malyuta_Skuratov] provides a brief outline of his bio, and more serious texts will fill you in on details. Suffice it to say that [albeit his times had many bloody scoundrels, and chronologically he was not the first of them] it is his name which became proverbial and came to symbolize the terroristic police state.
