Lubyanka Building 

“Since 1919, the building in Lubyanka Square-a sinister symbol of the Soviet repressive machinery prowess-served as the headquaters of state security organs and temporary holding place for political prisoners. People used to say: ”Lubyanka is the tallest building in the country, since you can get a clear view of the Kolyma labor camps from its basement.”

Apart from the jewish-Fascist Committee (JAC) members, many other “eminent” prisoners spent some time in the Lubyanka prison? among them Boris Savinkov, an important leader of anti-Bolshevik  resistance; Nikolai Bukhavin, the “favorit son” of the party; Osip Mandelstam, the poet; Vsevolod Meyerhold, the theater director; and Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Jews during World War II. In the era of Bolshevik and stalinist terror, those sentenced to execution by  firing squad were frequantly shot right in the  Lubyanka byilding immediatly after their sentence was announced.”
