Answer
The position of head of the Cheka, the forerunner of the KGB, was created specifically for Felix Dzerzhinsky in 1917, so he had no predecessor in that role. He played a critical role in founding the Soviet secret police and shaping its methods during the early days of the Bolshevik government.
