“Death to the spies!” (SMERSH) — that short and ruthless name belonged to a special NKVD unit reporting directly to I. Stalin. Created during the war, it consisted of tested-in-combat, honest, and fearless officers of the Red Army. SMERSH was feared by everyone—both the fascist agents preparing sabotage within our battle formations, and the Hitler’s accomplices operating deep in the Soviet rear. The enemy knew: if Stalin’s special forces were on their trail, no fair and swift judgment could be avoided.
