Stasi Table Medals celebrating F Dzierzynski

[Arkaidiyh]

 Soviet Cheka(secret police) founder Felix Dzierzynski is celebrated in a lot of East German Stasi awards and Memorabilia.  As founder of the original Cheka (forerunner) of the KGB he is celebrated as the ideal or model Chekist (secret policeman).  Both of these MfS table medals also feature his famous mantra that a "Chekist can only be a man with a cool head, a warm heart and clean hands."  Considering the amount of nefarious deeds and bloodshed these people were responsible for "irony" doesn't begin to characterize this saying.
