“Community Cohesion Officer” is English for the Russian word ‘chekist’.

Is that the same thing as a Zampolit?

A “Zampolit” was a political officer within the Soviet military.

A “Chekist” was a member of the Soviet secret police (VChK, the “All-Russian Extraordinary Commission”) headed by Felix Dzerzhinsky.
