re: #462 Sergey Romanov

Interestingly, had Felix not died so early, he might have tasted the full measure of the NKVD “basement justice”, being an Old Bolshevik and all that.

Remember hearing a proverb when I saw a documentary on Russian history but “The closer to the czar(referring to Ivan the Terrible) the closer to death. One could say the same thing about the early Bolsheviks under Stalin.
