Many would argue that in Russia tsars secret police did not not go nearly far enough. Except for those actually killed people they treated revolutionaries trying to overthrow the regime very mildly. There is really no reason why people like Lenin, Stalin and most of the bolsheviks should have survived. In Putin's russia they would all be rotting in prison LONG ago, with big chunk being dead from accidents.
