Yakov Sverdlov

Bolshevism - Criminals - Russia
Founders of totalitarian regime

Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov, born in 1885 in Nizhny Novgorod, was a Russian politician of Jewish origin, one of the leaders of the bloodiest political system in world history - Bolshevism.

After the October Revolution - after the Bolsheviks seized power, he gave a free hand in dealing with the dethroned Tsar Nicholas II and his family, held in Ekaterinburg. This effectively meant condoning the murder of the Romanovs; the Tsar's family was executed.

After the failed assassination attempt on Lenin, the Council of People's Commissars, led by Yakov Sverdlov, passed the decree "On Red Terror":

'The Council of People's Commissars, having heard the report of the Chairman of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution on the activities of the above-mentioned commission, has decided that in the present situation it is indispensably necessary to provide security in the hinterland by means of terror; that in order to intensify the activities of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission and to give it a more planned character, it is absolutely necessary to supply its ranks with as many responsible party comrades as possible; that it is necessary to secure the Soviet Republic against class enemies by isolating them in camps; that all persons connected with the White Guard organizations and involved in conspiracies and revolts be executed; that the names of all those executed be made public, together with the reasons for the sentence.

He was formally the head of the Russian state until his death in 1919.
