Prison Diaries And Letters by Felix Dzerzhinsky

Posted on August 5, 2025 by The Mitr

Dzerzhinsky’s prison diary and the letters to his rela­ tives published in this volume show how the will of the revolutionary was steeled by severe trials, how his cour­ age grew in the struggle to emancipate the people from exploitation and slavery.
Dzerzhinsky’s diary and letters are not a chronicle of his life. On the other hand, their every line is evi­dence of the great mind and ideological probity of their writer, who had a deep love for the working man and a boundless hatred for the oppressors.

The Russian text of this book was compiled and prepared for the press by Dzerzhinsky’s widow

Translated from the Russian by John Gibbons
