'The Bolshevik Party established political commissars in 1918 to control and improve morale in the military forces." For all I know it could've been for self-preservation. I'm not trying to be an apologist for him. Rather, I'd like to encourage people to learn a bit more about him and his environment before jumping to conclusions based on a single point in his life.
