Everything old is new again. While the names have changed throughout the years, the Russian secret police sure do love blowing people’s brains out.
Whether you call them the Checka (All-Russian Extraordinary Commission; Vserossíyskaya chrezvycháynaya komíssiya), the KGB (Committee for State Security; Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti) or even the present-day FSB (Federal Security Service; Federal’naya sluzhba bezopasnosti), it sure does seem that the bloodlust of the Russian secret police is simply insatiable.
As noted in a social media posting by Jennifer Griffin of Fox News, she cites that two other FNC reporters (Jillian Turner and James Levison) have uncovered inside information that the Russian FSB is planning public executions once they’ve achieved military conquest of Ukraine.
.@GillianHTurner and .@james_levinson report: A European Official tells FNC Russia’s Federal Security Service, their intel branch, has drafted plans to conduct public executions in Ukrainian cities once they have been captured.

On a personal note, I don’t watch Fox News anymore. But with that said, Jennifer Griffin has always stood out to me as someone who made sure that her sources were always rock-solid before she ever went public.
Also, please keep in mind that in 1940, the Russian NKVD executed 22,000 Poles in what today is popularly known as The Katyn Massacre.
Unfortunately, most Americans are ignorant of the fact that just a few days after Nazi Germany attacked western Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, the Soviets also attacked the Polish nation from the east. Factually, the Russians occupied more of Poland than did the Germans.
Prior to the massacre, the Russians made a point of planning the executions of;
-
Military leadership
-
Civil legal officials
-
Intelligentsia
-
Spiritual leadership
More specific, the NKVD executed tens of thousands of Polish military officers, Polish senior enlisted men, military cadets, judges, police officers, university professors, schoolteachers and Catholic priests.
