Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn quotes in The Gulag Archipelago, Volume 1, a man by the name of Nikolai Vasilyevich Krylenko, the organizer of the Department of Exceptional Courts of the People’s Commissariat of Justice and therefore the “accuser” in several cases against internal enemies of the Soviet Union:

During the Civil War not only is any kind of action [against Soviet power] a crime . . . but the fact of inaction is also criminal.”
