1930: Iron Felix

On July 20, 1926 OTL*, Soviet leadership suffered a heavy loss - Felix Dzerzhinsky, the OGPU (secret police) chief and the head of People's Economics Supreme Council, suddenly died.

He passed away immediately after delivering a two-hour long speech full of personal attacks on the United Opposition led by Leon Trotsky.

In the Strangers' World (1930) a man nicknamed 'Iron Felix' for his ruthlessness is still alive and kicking.
 

 How comes? You'll see. Stay tuned.
