Feliks Dzerzhinsky Monument

Feliks Dzerzhinsky Monument (May 2014)

Where many cities have since removed their statue of Feliks Dzezhinsky, Cheboksary still has its statue to the founder of the feared Cheka secret police.  Appropriately it sounds outside the headquarters of the Chuvash department of the FSB - a successor of the Cheka. Across the road there is another simple monument dedicated to police officers who have lost their lives while fulfilling their duties.
