Cheka - The name
The agency's full name was Всероссийская чрезвычайная комиссия по борьбе с контрреволюцией и саботажем (In English, All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage), but was commonly abbreviated to ЧК (Cheka) or ВЧК (Vecheka). In 1918 its name was changed slightly to: Всероссийская чрезвычайная комиссия по борьбе с контрреволюцией, спекуляцией и преступлениям по должности, or All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution, Speculation and Power Abuse.
A member of Cheka was called chekist. Chekists of the post-revolution years wore leather jackets, and they are pictured in this apparel in many movies. Despite the multitudinous namechanges over time, Soviet secret policemen were referred to as "Chekists" throughout the Soviet period and the term is still found in use in Russia today (for example, President Vladimir Putin has been referred to in the Russian media as a chekist).
