SVR chief Sergei Naryshkin praised Dzerzhinsky as a "symbol of his time" and a "standard of crystal honesty" during the unveiling ceremony on Monday.
"He remained true to his ideals to the end -- the ideals of goodness and justice," Naryshkin said
Polish people were influential in creating the Soviet Union. I hate how our history is rewritten as to denounce this past in favor of the proto-fascist second polish republic. The Polish Bolsheviks are forgotten and so is the people's army, but at least prominent figures like Feliks and Róża have made names for themselves to be internationally recognized by communists.
