On December 19, 1917, in Smolny, in room No. 75, a bald man in a worn jacket nervously paced back and forth. This was Lenin, the leader of the October Revolution, who listened with anxiety to the report of the head of the Council of People's Commissars, the cynical Vladimir Bonch-Bruevich. The manager spoke of the panic among the party elite, the growing discontent of the people with the Bolsheviks, and the possibility of conspiracies and assassination attempts.

Lenin interrupted Bonch with displeasure.

"Is there really no Fouché-Tenville among us who could restore order in the counter-revolution?"

The next day, the image of Fouché-Tenville of the October Revolution came to life. This man was in the same snowy Petrograd, seized by the Bolsheviks.

Tall, thin, in a soldier's uniform that hung on him like on a hanger, Felix Dzerzhinsky appeared on December 20 at an expanded meeting of the Council of People's Commissars. Under the protection of sailors, amidst the noise and chaos of events, among the "terrible" and "funny monsters" of Bolshevism, whom Lenin in moments of candor called "out of 100 decent people, 90 are scoundrels," after many speeches, "burning with anger," the October Fouché-Tenville spoke.

Felix Dzerzhinsky talked about terror, about ways to save the revolution. In his emaciated face, shining eyes, and sharp features, a fanatic could be felt. He spoke with difficulty, in incorrect Russian with a Polish accent and incorrect stresses. He spoke excitedly, hurriedly, as if afraid he would not have time to say everything that was necessary.

"Revolutions are always accompanied by deaths, this is normal! We must apply all measures of terror, give it all our strength! Do not think that I am looking for forms of revolutionary justice, justice does not suit us! We should not have long conversations! Now it is a fight breast to breast, not for life, but for death, whose will prevail?! And I demand one thing, the organization of revolutionary retribution!" he shouted, an emaciated, sick man resembling a monk in a soldier's uniform.

Fouché-Tenville has been found.
