@andreiiiiba: "The Kharkiv Cheka, under the command of the notorious Stepan Saenko, established itself as one of the most brutally sadistic regional detachments of the Soviet secret police during the Red Terror of the Russian Civil War. Headquartered on Sumska Street, this branch targeted Tsarist officers, wealthy citizens, clergy, and Ukrainian intellectuals, utilizing the roaring engines of trucks and tractors to drown out the sounds of continuous executions. When anti-Bolshevik forces captured the city in late 1919, a Special Commission of Inquiry exhumed the site, documenting horrific evidence of mass graves, scalping, and the branch's signature 'glove trick'—a method where victims' hands were submerged in boiling water until the skin could be peeled off intact. Historians such as Sergei Melgunov, George Leggett, and Orlando Figes have extensively cited the Kharkiv Cheka as a primary example of institutionalized, decentralized state sadism, where local commandants operated with total impunity to terrorize and liquidate the local population." #BEASTMODE #CHEKA
