Victor Abakumov
...
Time Magazine's review of Stalin's Biography mentioning Victor Abakumov, who was Stalin's Chief of Secret Police ( KGB)
...
Here we have Victor Abakumov, Stalin's head of secret police: "Abakumov ... was another colorful, swaggering torturer, amoral condottiere and 'zoological careerist' who possessed all Beria's sadism but less of his intelligence. Abakumov unrolled a bloodstained carpet on his office floor before embarking on the torture of his victims in order not to stain his expensive Persian rugs."
The presiding mystery was Stalin , cultivator of lemon trees and roses, author of sweet, private kindnesses, a man who proudly displayed his piles of fresh, clean underwear (which he boasted he changed every day!).
