In the early part of the century Feliks Dzierzynski (1877-1926) was a leader of the movement.
Like Polish communists down to the present, Dzierzynski opposed the nationalism and class collaboration of the Polish Socialist Party (Polska Partia Socjalistyczna, PPS) and was one of the internationalists who went to Moscow in August 1917 to help with the Soviet revolution.
Reunification of Poland in Dzierzynski's view was a distraction from the proletariat's class responsibility.

 Krakow | News | Star Wars Hotel Sold To Mystery Buyer
The most obvious example is Warsaw's gargantuan Palace of Culture and Science, for many years the most hated building in the capital.
A present from 'Uncle Joe' Stalin during the 50's, the palace came close to being knocked down with the advent of democracy in 1989 - most of the Soviet statues bit the dust quicker than you could say Feliks Dzierzynski, head of the former Security Service.
However, the palace endured, and whilst many of the older generation still despise the thing, plenty of younger Varsovians and ex-pats can't help liking the monument.

 Stalin and his Hangmen - BooksReviews - www.theage.com.au
This is a harrowing account, occasionally painful to read, of a time when "terror" was a daily reality rather than a political buzzword worn hollow.
Rayfield's approach is to analyse the relationships between Stalin and Feliks Dzierzynski, Viacheslav Mezkhnisky, Genrikh Iagoda, Nikolai Ezhov and Lavrenti Beria - the chiefs, consecutively, of Russia's security services.
Yet referring to the Cheka and its successors, the OGPU, NKVD and KGB, as "security services" at all is almost to collude, because by all accounts they secured only Stalin, never his country.

Jews were maybe very prominent group in the key parts of the state apparatus in the early days of the Soviet Union, but certainly there were many others.
For example the founder of the bolshevik secret police was Feliks Dzierzynski - a Pole, raised BTW in the Jesuit school.
Some historians think that Bolsheviks would not win without the zealous support by the Latvian riflemen (interestingly the last hardline Communists resisting the collapse of Soviet Union were Latvians like Pugo and Alksnis).
