But yet you try to explain away that the man responsible for creating the most feared and vile secret police in the history of the world was a POLE. It's a two-way street when you start down the ethnicity-bashing road. I'd be comfortable, as I have stated ad naseum, saying all commies were bad regardless of their national origin, but ya'll like to make it seem that Russians were solely to blame.
You can spin this as you want but he was nobody in Poland and the Russians made him important in Moscow. One Pole could do nothing without support of Russian masses.
