After supporting Lenin, Alexei Semyonov, together with his comrades, took part in the storming of the Winter Palace. After the victory of the Great October Revolution, Semyonov took part in creating the Cheka, becoming Deputy to Dzerzhinsky, while his comrades became a special detachment under the Cheka. In his new position, he actively helps the Bolsheviks in their fight against counterrevolution and banditry, battles foreign interventionists, disrupts the plans of certain Bolshevik leaders who were “playing for both teams,” and meets with Nicholas II and his family, who had been arrested by the emperor. Working for the Bolsheviks, he stubbornly moves toward his goal—strengthening the North-Eastern Republic that was established under his ideological guidance.
